Sir Rod Stewart once again provided an unforgettable evening at the start of his 2025 European tour. A visibly cheerful singer took to the stage punctually at 8 pm to thunderous applause from the audience. ‘Kaunas, we have 23 songs for you today. I hope you enjoy the evening as much as we do,’ the 80-year-old called out to the almost 20,000 fans.
And it didn't take long for Stewart to really get the audience in the arena fired up. With Infatuation, Tonight I'm Yours and Some Guys Have All The Luck, Stewart and his band really got the audience going and the man on stage didn't miss out on any of his numerous hits from the last few decades. I'd Rather Go Blind, Forever Young, Downtown Train, First Cut Is The Deepest, Tonight's The Night, It Takes Two and others found their place on the setlist, as did You're In My Heart, I Don't Want To Talk About It and Sailing. After around two hours, Sir Rod bid his fans an enthusiastic farewell with the Faces hit Stay With Me.
The online news portal 15min wrote afterwards very aptly of an ‘unforgettable evening’ and stated that Sir Rod, at the age of 80, ‘really tore the place down’. The conclusion was that ‘real rock knows no age limits’.
The internet portal Kaunas Kasvyksta went one step further, saying that Sir Rod had turned the arena into ‘a rock'n'roll sanctuary’. ‘His energy, charm and timeless voice created an unforgettable evening for thousands of fans’.
The Stewart entourage flies on to Finland today, where the concert in Tampere is on the tour programme tomorrow evening.
