Rod Stewart has kicked off his European tour
Here's everything you need to know about the legend's tour and tickets.
Rod Stewart has launched his huge European tour with an exclusive warm up show in Southend.
It starts a run across mainland Europe and into the UK, which see the legend play through until December 2019.
The UK leg of the Rod Stewart Live in Concert tour kicks off properly with the show in Bristol in May 2019, finishing in December 2019 with two shows at The O2 Arena, London.
The live dates mark Rod’s first UK tour in three years, having sold out venues on his 2016 The UK Hits Stadium Tour and his From Gasoline Alley to Another Country Hits run.
“I’ve been lucky enough to play most of the major venues in the world – Madison Square Garden, The O2 – but it was a total treat to experience the energy, intimacy and sheer excitement of playing Southend on Sea,” Rod says of the intimate warm up show. “What a night – I’ll never forget it.”
Rod Stewart has celebrated a No.1 hit single in every decade of his career, bringing together a now iconic blend of rock, folk, soul, and RnB. He has sold over 200 million records worldwide, been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice, won the ASCAP Founders Award for songwriting, is a New York Times bestselling author, a certified Living Legend courtesy of the GRAMMY Awards, and has received a knighthood by Prince William at Buckingham Palace.
During his Rod Stewart Live in Concert 2019 tour, the singer promises a mixture of classics and new tracks, taken from across his illustrious 50-year career.
Rod Stewart first broke into the mainstream with his 1971 release Every Picture Tells a Story. His huge repertoire of hits since includes Handbags and Gladrags, Sailing, The First Cut Is the Deepest, Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?, Baby Jane, All for Love with Bryan Adams and Sting, and many more.
