Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart is back on tour—and he’s making it clear: the farewell isn’t over yet. Performing with special guest Richard Marx, Stewart brings his “One Last Time” tour to the Hunter Pavilion, marking the 81-year-old icon’s Ravinia debut.

At the heart of Stewart’s success is his inimitable voice: ragged, raw, warm, and intimate. Irresistibly charming and endlessly versatile, he has built a career spanning six decades, effortlessly moving from hard rock to heartfelt ballads. Whatever material he chooses, Stewart delivers it with one of the finest voices of his generation. Hits like “Maggie May” and albums such as Every Picture Tells a Story—hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time—showcase his raspy, emotionally charged voice and signature blend of grit and tenderness.

Grammy-winning American singer-songwriter Richard Marx calls touring with Stewart “a masterclass every night,” while Miami New Times declares, “Rod Stewart isn’t coasting on nostalgia—he’s commanding it.” Even at 81, Stewart brings the playful charm and effortless swagger that defined his earliest performances, delivering an evening of greatest hits, deep cuts, swing classics, and dazzling new production elements. "One Last Time" may be billed as a farewell tour, but the rock icon—and his audience—are clearly having too much fun to stop.
