Sir Rod Stewart will serenade Glastonbury audiences with his biggest hits (Picture: Getty Images) Sir Rod Stewart is set to take to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury for the festival's coveted teatime legend slot today. The Maggie May and Sailing singer, 80, has overcome his recent illness to celebrate six decades in the industry with a selection of greatest hits for the assembled crowd and audience at home. And with six number one singles and ten number one albums in the UK under his belt, millionaire hitmaker Sir Rod certainly has a lot to pack in. It's difficult because they only gave me an hour-and-a-quarter slot. So I begged them: can I do another 15 minutes?' he told Radio Times of the packed set list. 'Because usually I play for two hours. It means that there's a lot of songs that people love that I won't be able to play. And I've got three guests coming on.' But who's Sir Rod bringing with him – and what time is he playing at Glastonbury? Sir Rod will play at the Pyramid Stage today (Picture: Getty Images) What time is Rod Stewart on at Glastonbury? Sir Rod will play at the Pyramid Stage today from 15:45 to 17:15, following performances from The Selecter, Celeste and The Libertines. Following his 90-minute performance, Nile Rogers andChic will play from 18:00 to 19:00, then Noah Kahan at 19:45. Headline act Olivia Rodrigo will finish the day off with her performance at 21:45, with a set list which is expected to contain hits deja vu, good for u and traitor. Rod previously confirmed that he'll be joined by Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood (Picture: Getty Images) Who is joining Rod Stewart on stage? The singer is expected to bring three guests with him for the set, previously confirming that he'll be joined by Faces bandmate and Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood. As for the other two guests, he has teased that one will be Simply Red frontman Mick Hucknall, telling The Sun: 'Mick Hucknall and I are going to come up and sing She Was Only A Pilot's Daughter But She Kept Her Cockpit Clean. 'Only joking, he clarified. 'We are going to sing If You Don't Know Me By Now. And then Lulu is coming on.' If true, that means fans can expect Sir Rod to be joined by Ronnie, Mick and Scottish singer/songwriter Lulu. Sir Rod hinted that audiences can expect an appearance from Mick Hucknall (Picture: Getty Images) Lulu's coming too! (Picture: Redferns) What are some of Rod Stewart's most famous songs? In the run-up to his Glastonbury set, Sir Rod has released his Ultimate Hits album, which contains each of his six number one singles. These iconic tunes consist of Maggie May (1971), You Wear It Well (1972), Sailing (1972), I Don't Want to Talk About It (1975), The First Cut Is the Deepest (1976), Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? (1978) and Baby Jane (1983). With so much to get through, Sir Rod will likely be partaking in his usual gig routine of a 'gargle' of rum and coke. 'The vocal cords need a lot of looking after. I mean, they're absolute gold. I warm up for an hour, warm down for half an hour. And when I feel I'm losing my voice, I go into what they call 'voice rest' and wear a little card around my neck that says 'I can't talk. Don't talk to me,'' he revealed. Sir Rod has come out as a supporter of Reform leader Nigel Farage (Picture:Getty Images) Why are people booing Sir Rod Stewart at Glastonbury? Sir Rod sparked outrage from a certain corner of his fanbase this weekend by announcing his support for Nigel Farage. With some fans already horrified by this endorsement of the controversial politician, Irish rappers Kneecap poked fun by asking their audience if anyone 'was going to see Rod Stewart tomorrow?' The audience erupted into spontaneous boos at mention of his name, as Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh (stage name Mo Chara) joked: 'He's older than Israel.' Social media users echoed the sentiment, with Anthony58340236 writing on X: 'Do the right thing and boo Rod Stewart off the stage.' 'I sincerely hope Glastonbury make their feeling known and boo Rod Stewart off the stage!' wrote bobrmitchell. The singer has lashed out at the 'teatime legend' label (Picture: Shutterstock) He may be a living legend, but Sir Rod isn't all too keen on the 'teatime' part of the billing. 'I just wish they wouldn't call it the tea time slot,' he said to the BBC. 'That sounds like pipe and slippers, doesn't it?' Got a story?

Ukraine jails 21-years-old for allegedly guiding Russian strikes

(AP Photo/Evgeniy Maloletka) Ukraine on Friday jailed a 21-year-old man for 15 years on allegations he guided missile attacks for Russia, the latest collaboration conviction after more than three years of war. Moscow and Kyiv frequently accuse each other of recruiting civilians to coordinate attacks or carry out sabotage attacks, and of offering financial incentives and grooming them via social media. 'On the orders of a Russian special services officer, the traitor travelled around the city and its outskirts, secretly photographing the locations of Ukrainian troops,' the SBU security service wrote on Telegram. Many of those accused in Ukraine of carrying out the crimes are teenagers. According to the SBU, the Kyiv resident -- who was not identified by name -- was also preparing attacks in the Ukrainian capital on behalf of Russia and was caught red-handed while 'spying' near a military facility.

Visuals of Indian opposition leader 'posing with YouTuber detained for spying' are altered
The Hindi-language Facebook post shared on May 21, 2025 says Indian YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra can be seen with Gandhi in the images (archived link). "What a strange coincidence that every traitor and anti-national is seen with Rahul Gandhi!" it says. "Is Rahul Gandhi the mastermind behind the turmoil in the country?" The post surfaced after Indian authorities accused Malhotra and ten other people of leaking military information to Pakistan (archived link). The nuclear-armed foes agreed to a ceasefire on May 10, ending four days of intense fighting that claimed over 70 lives on both sides (archived link). Fighting erupted two weeks after an attack in Indian-administered Kashmir killed 26 people, which India blamed on Pakistan but denied by Islamabad. The image was shared with similar claims elsewhere on Facebook, X and Threads, with comments showing some users believed it was genuine. "I have noticed one thing ... wherever treason is mentioned, Congress is mentioned too," one comment said. Another wrote, "Congress headquarters is a training centre for traitors." But a reverse image search on Google revealed the images had been altered. State lawmaker Aditi Singh shared the first picture on Facebook on December 16, 2017 when she was a member of the Congress party before joining the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2021 (archived link). The photo's caption reads, "Many congratulations and best wishes to Honourable Rahul Gandhi. Jai Hind!" Another search reveals Gandhi published the original of the second photo on his Facebook page on September 18, 2022 when he travelled across India as part of his Bharat Jodo Yatra campaign (archived here and here). It shows him posing for a picture with a person different from that seen in the false post. AFP has debunked a series of false claims about the India-Pakistan conflict here.
