Rod Stewart facing eye-watering cost of Glastonbury set as his children make sacrifice for show
Sir Rod Stewart is set to play the coveted Legends Slot at Glastonbury in just a few weeks time and is planning on pulling out all the stops for what is likely to be his final major festival performance. Glastonbury musical festival goers are set to witness a historic moment during its Sunday evening Legends Slot. In previous years, music icons including Lionel Richie, Kylie Minogue and Dolly Parton have all entertained audiences in the coveted closing spot but this summer, it will be Sir Rod Stewart who graces the Pyramid Stage. However, this is not the 80-years-old's first time at Glastonbury, having played the festival back in 2002 with Coldplay and Stereophonics. However, the singer's upcoming summer gig promises to be an extraordinary show. Sir Rod is also said to be planning a raucous weekend with his band and pals ahead of the landmark performance. Not all of his music buddies will be there though as the Maggie May star confessed that he doesn't see old pals like Ronnie Wood or Sir Elton John as often anymore because "they don't drink and I still do. They stay away from me... bad influence!" However, Rod, who has shifted some 200 million records over his six-decade long career, will need to start looking after his own health too, after he recently had to cancel a Las Vegas show due to a nasty throat infection, Glasgow Live reports. While he has no plans to officially retire, the rock icon announced that his 2025 European and North American shows would mark the end of his "large-scale world tours," with future performances set to take place at smaller venues. Rod will indeed be going out with a bang at Glastonbury as he revealed to BBC'S Sidetracked with Annie and Nick that he's splashing out almost £300,000 on his Sunday show. Despite being the festival's headliner, Sir Rod said he doesn't receive a guest list and that three of his eight kids will be buying their own tickets. The singer said he offered to cover the price of his family's tickets himself but his children opted to pay their own way to witness their father's final major festival performance. While Sir Rod's payment for the event remains unknown, Glastonbury headliners typically earn no more than £250,000, a figure confirmed by organiser Emily Eavis who noted that acts receive less than 10% of what they could command elsewhere. A significant amount of the costs will cover transporting his band and gear from California, with the ensemble set to reside in a Bath hotel for the duration of the festival. Sir Rod expressed his anticipation for an unforgettable weekend celebrating with his bandmates. In addition to his regular band, which includes guitarist Don Kirkpatrick, long-time bassist Conrad Kirsch and violinist J'anna Jacoby, Sir Rod has revealed plans to reunite with former Faces bandmate and current Rolling Stone, Ronnie Wood. He also plans to have a small orchestra on stage with him for his ballads, such as Tonight's the Night and I Don't Want to Talk About It. The singer has admitted it will be tough to fit in all of his classic hits during the 75-minute slow. To make the most of his time on stage, he plans to keep his between-song chatter to a minimum, although admits he will pause for the occasional sip of Bacardi and Coke. He said: "It's the only thing I drink and I only drink it when I do gigs. " The 80-year-old also has no plans to stop recording anytime soon with a new album featuring Rod and former Faces bandmates Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones due to be released in 2026. Speaking about the new album with music Craig McLean, Sir Rod said that there are "15 tracks that are extremely worthy, some old, some new."

Irish Rail to put on extra trains for Musgrave Park gigs
Irish Rail will run additional services for the concerts in Musgrave Park (Virgin Media Park) this week. The run of gigs starts on Thursday with Macklemore and Rudimental before The Corrs take to the stage on Friday with support from Natalie Imbruglia and Imelda May. Saturday sees the Stereophonics perform at the Ballyphehane venue. In a post on social media on Wednesday, Irish Rail confirmed that extra trains would be put on to help attendees get home from the gigs. The additional services will be in place for the Cork to Cobh route as well as the Cork to Midleton and Cork to Mallow routes. It is, as of yet, unclear if Irish Rail will put on extra trains on Saturday for fans travelling to the Munster hurling final in the Gaelic Grounds. Labour TD for Cork North Central Eoghan Kenny urged them to do so, saying: 'Rebels from across the county will be winging their way to Limerick this Saturday for what will be a fantastic game between Cork and Limerick in this year's Munster Hurling Final. 'It's a very special day in the Irish sporting calendar and will be attended by fans up and down the county, which is why I've written to Irish Rail to ask for additional rail services to be provided this weekend. 'Trains from 9.30am are totally booked out and that's before we even consider people changing the time of their return ticket. 'The demand is there and the obvious thing to do is to put on some extra services to get fans to the stadium safely so that as many people as possible can hopefully see Cork lift the Mick Mackey Cup.'

Stereophonics at St Anne's Park: Everything you need to know
Stereophonics are taking to St Anne's Park in Dublin as part of their biggest ever tour, and their first tour in over three years, Stadium Anthems. It has been described as a journey through the band's incredible career, with no hits left behind. The band's hits include Dakota, Have A Nice Day, Maybe Tomorrow, C'est La Vie, and A Thousand Trees. Stereophonics have sold over 10 million albums, have 1.5 billion global streams and five BRIT award nominations, with one BRIT award win. Advertisement So, if you are headed to St Anne's Park to see Stereophonics perform, keep reading to find out everything you need to know. When and where is it on? Stereophonics play at St Anne's Park, Clontarf, Dublin on Friday, June 6th 2025, with doors opening at 5pm. When we get the official stage times, we will update this article with them. Are there tickets left? Some tickets are still available on Ticketmaster, ie for the Friday concert, so if you want to go, it is still possible! Concertgoers are advised to buy tickets from accredited sources only. Who are the support acts? James Bay and Davey MacManus have been announced as support for Stereophonics. Advertisement When should I arrive? Allow at least an extra two hours travel time to and from the venue. That means, allow two hours on top of the time Google Maps is telling you it will take. When you get to either of the two entrances, you will have to walk an extra roughly 1.3km from the park entrance to the ticket scan/entry. There are two entrances: The green entrance is on Sybil Hill onto the main avenue, and the blue entrance is on All Saints Road via Tennis Court entry. There is no entry or exit on Mount Prospect Avenue. Advertisement St Anne's Park is a residential area – organisers have appealed to all concertgoers to respect the local community by not littering, engaging in antisocial behaviour or parking illegally. How do I get there and home again? Plan and book your travel arrangements in advance, allowing at least an extra two hours travel time to and from the venue. As traffic delays are inevitable, fans are encouraged by promoters to walk, cycle, use public transport and private coach services. By DART: The nearest DART station is Harmonstown Dart Station and they will run services to and from the concerts each day. By car: There is no public parking at the event, and car parks in St Anne's are not open to the public during events, so promoters have asked fans to use public transport and not to park illegaly or in residential areas as clamping will be in operation. By bus: You can get Dublin Bus No 6, H1, H2, and H3 to the venue from Abbey Street Lower. Marathon Coaches are also running return buses to and from the City Centre to St Anne's Park for the concert. Buses leave from Northwall Quay Bus Stop 7623 at 3pm, 4pm and 5pm on the day of the concert and drop off at St Paul's School, Clontarf. Return buses will be leaving the coach park at 11pm sharp. What are they expected to play? Obviously, we never know what a band are going to play until the night itself, but here is a taster of what fans can expect, based on the setlist for their recent concert at Vestrock 2025 in the Netherlands last week: Advertisement Vegas Two Times I Wanna Get Lost With You Have a Nice Day There's Always Gonna Be Something Advertisement Superman Mr. Writer Local Boy in the Photograph Just Looking All in One Night Maybe Tomorrow Make It on Your Own Mr and Mrs Smith Fly Like an Eagle C'est la vie Dakota What's the story with security? Under-16s attending the concert must be accompanied at all times by an adult over 25. Unaccompanied under-16s will be refused entry without a refund. The promoter deems that large outdoor concerts are not a suitable environment for children under five, and all attendees must have a ticket. No queuing is allowed prior to the gates opening, and attendees are advised to allow time for security checks on the way in. If you do turn up early, you will be turned away at restricted area points around the event site. Regardless, you should aim to be within the venue 30 minutes before the show starts. Bags larger than A4 size will not be permitted. All bags may be searched, and this can be time-consuming, so consider going bagless for easier entry. There will be no cloakroom or storage facilities. No alcohol or food is allowed into the arena. Other banned items at the event include – but are not exclusive to – umbrellas, garden furniture, camping chairs, e-scooters, e-bikes, selfie sticks, flares, glasses or cans. There is also no re-admission to the concert, so if you leave, you cannot re-enter. Can I take photos at the concert? Smartphones and small digital cameras are permitted, but cameras with long or detachable lenses or recording equipment are not. GoPros and iPads are also prohibited. What's the weather giving? At the time of writing, Friday is expected to be dry but cloudy, with temperatures ranging between 10 and 15 degrees. It is giving some rain for the evening time, AKA concert time, though, so be aware of that. St Anne's Park is a standing-only venue, and all gigs take place outdoors on grass, so regardless of the forecast, dress accordingly for Irish weather – think wellies, boots or runners, layers, raincoats/ponchos and suncream. But remember, no umbrellas.
