The tour will conclude on August 15 at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in St Louis, Missouri.

A press release described the tour as “an unprecedented evening of iconic hits and a concert production befitting one of the era’s greatest live performers.”

Stewart, who released his 33rd studio album 'Swing Fever' in February, previously performed the tour across Europe and Asia, featuring hits like 'Maggie May', 'Forever Young', 'The First Cut Is the Deepest', and 'Young Turks'.



 

Joining the tour as special guests will be the Cheap Trick rock band.

Rod Stewart adds Las Vegas shows to his schedule

In addition to his North American tour dates, Rod Stewart will perform 13 shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas from March through June, according to People.

Earlier this year, he had to cancel his milestone 200th Vegas residency show due to strep throat.

Stewart told fans about his illness in an Instagram post in August, writing, “Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me.”

He added, “My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused.”

The canceled performance was initially set to conclude his 13-year 'The Hits' residency, but Stewart extended it for an encore to coincide with his tour.

“I’ve been looking forward to this performance for so long,” Stewart wrote. “I’m absolutely gutted.”

Rod Stewart is aware his 'days are numbered'

Approaching 80, Rod Stewart reflected on his career and future aspirations.

In a conversation with The Sun in July 2024, he expressed his perspective on life and the pleasure he finds in performing.

“I’m going to be enjoying myself for these last few years,” Stewart said. “I’m aware my days are numbered, but I’ve got no fear. I am just enjoying the moment.”

The singer also revealed that he still drinks after every show, savoring his time on stage.

In 2023 he told People, "This will be the last time 'round, I think, to do the rock 'n' roll stuff," adding, "I want to move on to swing music and the Great American Song Book."

"But I'm not taking my songs to the cemetery and burying them. I might bring them out on the odd occasion, but I basically would like to put them to rest for a little while," he stated.
