(In the UK) Rod Stewart Call to Support Nigel Farage Ahead of Glastonbury Performance Sparks Debate Across the Nation

 

Rod Stewart, the iconic 80-year-old singer-songwriter, has ignited widespread discussion in the United Kingdom for publicly urging Britain to “give Nigel Farage a chance” ahead of his Glastonbury legend slot performance on June 29, 2025. Expressing frustration with the political landscape, Stewart voiced dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and declared himself “fed up with the Tories,” signaling a shift in his political stance by endorsing the Reform UK leader.

This unexpected support for Farage marks a notable departure from Stewart’s earlier remarks in 2024, when he criticized the politician for blaming the West for Russia’s war in Ukraine. Stewart has been a steadfast supporter of Ukraine since the conflict began in 2022, frequently using his platform to advocate for the country. His recent comments have stirred debate among fans and observers, with many surprised by his pivot toward Farage, highlighting the singer’s influence in both music and political discourse in the UK.
