Rod Stewart says he is ready to leave life on the road after more than six decades. The singer announced The Final Encore, a 2027 tour through the UK and Europe, in a video posted Monday. He also made one distinction clear: “I’m not retiring, but this will be the last rock and roll tour.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, after much deliberation and sadness, I have to announce next year will be my last tour ever, ever, ever,” Stewart said. He thanked fans for what they have given him, then moved to a piano to sing an invitation to come see him on the tour.
In an accompanying statement, Stewart said he has been singing the music he loves since he was 19 and called The Final Encore “most definitely” his last tour. “I hope you’ll join me so I can thank you the best way I know how … with the music and one hell of a show,” he said.
The UK and Ireland itinerary begins April 23 in Dublin and includes Belfast, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London, with Howard Jones supporting. Stewart then heads to mainland Europe for shows in Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Prague and other cities through a July 24 concert in Hannover, Germany. An artist presale for UK dates begins Tuesday, September 29 at 10 a.m. local time, with the general sale for new dates starting Friday, October 2 at 10 a.m. local time.
Stewart also has four US concerts scheduled in March and two rescheduled Red Rocks Amphitheatre shows in September. Those Red Rocks listings retain the One Last Time name, so they should not be mistaken for a newly announced conclusion to The Final Encore.
The announcement follows Stewart’s cancellation of his remaining 2026 tour dates after a coronary stent procedure in August.
