The Glastonbury line-up has just become even more thrilling with the addition of another music legend. Nile Rodgers, the mastermind behind some of the most iconic pop albums of all time, has confirmed his appearance at Glastonbury 2025. Fans can expect to see him take the stage on Sunday, June 29, right after Sir Rod Stewart's highly anticipated return as the headliner for the Legends slot.
The exciting news was revealed by Nile himself at the Rolling Stone Awards held in London's Camden Roundhouse last night. Accepting the prestigious Music Icon award, the Chic star couldn't contain his enthusiasm as he let slip his upcoming Glastonbury performance. "We're going to have a blast because we follow him directly," Nile exclaimed, referring to Sir Rod's performance.
However, Nile also joked about the mischief that could potentially take place backstage with his longtime friend. "Rod and I have been friends for 80 gazillion years, so that means he's gonna play tricks on me," he shared. "He's probably gonna pinch my bum, because he always does that. I don't know what the hell he gets out of that." Despite the playful pranks, Nile expressed his love and admiration for Sir Rod, revealing that they have a close bond.
When reminded that his Glastonbury appearance was not yet officially announced, Nile couldn't help but laugh. "Am I not supposed to give that away? I always say too much," he chuckled. Sir Rod Stewart is currently the only confirmed artist for Glastonbury 2025, with many other big names like Sam Fender, Eminem, Charli XCX, Green Day, Harry Styles, and Taylor Swift being rumored to headline.
Sir Rod's announcement received an overwhelming response from fans, and the singer himself revealed that it will cost him $300,000 to perform. However, he proudly stated, "But I don't care if it costs me $1 million, I would have done it. This is a great honor. It really is the greatest honor." Having headlined the festival in 2002, Sir Rod will be the first artist to return for the Legends slot, which has been a tradition since 1998.
The legends slot has seen some incredible artists over the years, including Tony Bennett, James Brown, Dolly Parton, Kylie Minogue, and Shania Twain. Glastonbury festival organizer Emily Eavis expressed her excitement for Sir Rod's return in a post on Instagram, saying, "Bringing Sir Rod Stewart back for the Sunday afternoon slot on the Pyramid stage is everything we could wish for. What a way to bow out with the final legend slot before we take a fallow year. We cannot wait!"
