About Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart spent the early 70s as one of rock's most vital voices, first with the Faces and then launching a solo career that wouldn't quit. He had this gift for taking songs—whether they were his own or covers—and wrapping them in his distinctive raspy voice, which sounded like he'd spent thirty years smoking in a bar before he was thirty. Maggie May became a massive hit that mixed folk sensibilities with rock swagger. He kept the momentum going through the 80s with more polished productions like Sailing, which felt almost impossibly smooth for a guy who started out so rough around the edges. The hits kept coming, and while critics would later suggest his work became more pop-oriented, the basic fact remained: Stewart knew how to deliver a hook and make a song feel personal, whether it was a heartbreak ballad or something designed to pack dance floors. He's still touring and still drawing crowds.

His shows are packed with singalongs. People come knowing every word to every song. There's a looseness to them, like he's genuinely enjoying himself on stage, and that translates to the crowd. Expect the hits, expect audience participation, expect an older demographic that actually knows how to move.

Known for Maggie May, Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright), Sailing, Stay With Me, Infatuation

Rod Stewart + Salt Lake City

Rod Stewart rolled through Salt Lake City in the summer of 2004, delivering a setlist that balanced his greatest hits with some genuinely interesting choices. At USANA Amphitheatre, he worked through "Every Picture Tells a Story" and "You Wear It Well" alongside the obvious crowd-pleasers like "Maggie May" and "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" The real move was watching him lean into the standards—"As Time Goes By," "The Way You Look Tonight," "They Can't Take That Away From Me"—suggesting he was thinking seriously about his voice and legacy even then. He closed with "Twistin' the Night Away," a fitting ending that kept things light.
