Rod Stewart announces final tour for 2027

Rod Stewart has announced that he will go on his last rock ’n’ roll tour in 2027, according to Consequence. The 81-year-old shared the news in an Instagram video, saying he is “not retiring” but that the run will be his final tour. Clash reports the shows are called The Last Encore.

The UK and European leg begins on April 23 in Dublin and ends on July 24 in Hannover, Germany, with stops including Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Budapest, Munich, Pula and Prague. Howard Jones will support on the UK dates.

Stewart also has four US shows in March 2027 and will play Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, on September 2 and 3, 2027. Consequence notes he postponed the rest of his 2026 North American tour and cancelled his Las Vegas residency after a routine coronary stent procedure in August.
