This could be one of your last chances to see Rod Stewart on a major tour. Rod Stewart has extended his "One Last Time" tour into 2026 with 15 additional U.S. dates, and the man himself has made it clear this farewell run is the real deal. With a concurrent Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace running May 27–June 6 and August 18–29, 2026, Stewart is giving fans two distinct ways to catch a living legend before he takes his final bow.

Tickets for the 2026 dates are on sale now — grab yours at TicketX before they're gone.

Rod Stewart's Las Vegas Residency 2026

Alongside the tour, Rod Stewart will perform a residency at the iconic Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas with shows May 27–June 6 and August 18–29, 2026. These "Encore Shows" are a separate experience from the touring leg — a more intimate, theater-style setting where Stewart works through his biggest hits, including ''Maggie May,'' ''Hot Legs,'' and ''Every Picture Tells a Story'', alongside swinging material from his Great American Songbook era and his most recent studio album, Swing Fever with Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.

If you can't make one of the touring dates, a Las Vegas residency show is an exceptional alternative. Tickets for the Caesars Palace run are available now at TicketX.

Rod Stewart's "One Last Time" 2026 Tour: What You Need to Know

In November 2025, Rod Stewart announced 15 additional U.S. dates for 2026, extending a run that was already billed as his farewell tour. The new leg sweeps through iconic venues across the country — from the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles to Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado — before closing out at Morton Amphitheater in Riverside, Missouri (Kansas City area) on August 15, 2026.

Joining Stewart on the 2026 extension as special guests are two beloved artists in their own right:

• Howard Jones — the British synth-pop icon behind ''Things Can Only Get Better,'' and ''No One Is to Blame''

• Richard Marx — the rock balladeer known for ''Right Here Waiting,'' and ''Hazard''

This is a stacked bill from top to bottom. Grab your tickets at TicketX before the best seats are gone.

Rod Stewart Band Members 2026

Rod Stewart's touring band has remained one of the tightest and most experienced road units in rock. The core group bringing his sound to life in 2026:

• Don Kirkpatrick  – Guitarist

• Emerson Swinford  – Guitarist

• Kevin Savigar – Keyboardist and producer, contributing to the rich, layered sound of the performances

• Curt Schneider – Bass guitar

Why Is This Tour Called "One Last Time"?

Rod Stewart has been unambiguous: this farewell tour is the real thing. The 2026 dates, announced in November 2025, extended what was already positioned as a career-ending live run, and the "One Last Time" branding is meant to signal exactly that to fans.

At 81 years old, Stewart has delivered one of the longest and most decorated careers in rock history — and he's choosing to end it on his own terms, in packed arenas and amphitheaters, doing what he does better than almost anyone: performing live. The demand reflects the urgency. Don't wait to book.

About Rod Stewart

Sir Roderick David Stewart turned 81 on January 10, 2026 — and this raspy-voiced London-born rocker has sold over 120 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. A key member of both Faces and The Jeff Beck Group, Stewart forged his solo career into one of the great catalogs of British rock.

He has 33 studio albums to his name, including 2024's Swing Fever (with Jools Holland), and has been inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice — once as a solo artist in 1994 and again in 2012 as a member of Faces. He was also inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006.

His chart record speaks for itself: 11 UK No. 1 albums, 31 UK Top 10 singles, and 16 US Top 10 singles with four reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — ''Maggie May'' (1971), ''Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)'' (1976), ''Da Ya Think I'm Sexy'' (1979), and ''All for Love'' (1994).

Stewart was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2000 and was knighted by Prince William in the 2016 Queen's Birthday Honours at Buckingham Palace for his service to music and charity.
