Rod Stewart says goodbye to the tour with one last ride in America!
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, 79, has announced that his One Last Time Tour will tour the US and Canada with 20 new shows starting in March in Austin, Texas and ending in St. Louis in August.
Stewart previously toured across Europe and Asia, with an extensive set list including hits like “Maggie May,” “Forever Young,” “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?,” “The First Cut Is the Deepest,” “ Mladi Turki” and “Ooh La La”, a Lica classic.
“Each performance promises an unprecedented evening of cult hits and a concert production befitting one of the greatest live acts of the era,” reads the press release.
The singer, who will be joined by special guests Cheap Trick, has released his 33rd studio album Swing fever in February.

In addition to his new tour dates, Stewart will also play 13 shows in Las Vegas at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace from March to June.
He was forced to cancel his 200th Vegas residency in August after coming down with a sore throat. Although the canceled show was originally supposed to end his 13-year residency as The Hits, he extended it for an encore that will now be performed in the middle of his new tour dates.
In 2023, he opened up to PEOPLE about his desire to hang up his hat when it comes to major tours — but insisted he’s not retiring.
“This is going to be the last time, I think, that I do rock ‘n’ roll stuff because I want to move on to swing music and the Great American Song Book,” he said. “But I’m not going to take my songs to the graveyard and bury them. I might put them out on the odd occasion, but basically I’d like to give them a break. No more big tours. I’ve said goodbye to Australia, New Zealand and Mexico, so it’s time to let’s say goodbye to the US.”

In an interview with Sun in July, he was candid about what the next few years will look like for him.
“I am aware that my days are numbered, but I have no fear,” he said. “We all have to move on at some point, so we’re all in the same basket. I’m going to enjoy these last few years as long as I can… I’m saying a few—probably 15 more. I can do it easily, my friend, easily.”
