Rod Stewart Sets 2027 UK and European Dates as Final Tour

Rod Stewart, 81, has announced that The Final Encore, a 21-date UK and European tour beginning in Dublin on April 23, 2027, and ending in Hannover, Germany, on July 24, will be his last rock-and-roll tour after more than six decades on the road. He says he is not retiring from music and has not ruled out occasional performances. Howard Jones will support the UK and Ireland dates, and Stewart has separate U.S. concerts scheduled for 2027. The announcement follows an August coronary stent procedure that led him to cancel the remaining dates of his 2026 North American tour.
