The 81-year-old pop icon will hit the road for his last major rock tour beginning on April 23 in Dublin, Ireland.

Rod Stewart, a legendary singer with over six decades of experience, has announced his final rock tour in Europe in 2027. In an Instagram video, the 81-year-old announced that this will be his last major tour, though he does not plan to retire entirely. Stewart expressed gratitude for the support he has received throughout his career and thanked his fans for making his life extraordinary.

The European tour will begin on April 23, 2027 at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland and will continue to various European cities including Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, London and Amsterdam before ending on July 24 at the ZAG Arena in Hannover, Germany.
