				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest record selling artists of all time has just announced a fresh UK tour this coming summer in 2023. The British rockstar, Rod Stewart, has not tired after last year&#8217;s UK tour following up the release of his last album <em><a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/rod-stewart-releases-new-single-one-more-time-and-announces-new-album-the-tears-of-hercules/">The Tears Of Hercules</a> </em>in 2021. Fans were delighted with the deliverance of his beloved classic hits, as well as catch the first live performances of his new albums tunes. So, this year, he comes back with a new <em>&#8220;Rod Stewart: The Hits&#8221;</em> world wide tour, put together to celebrate a six-decade long career of hard work, dedicated to contributing groundbreaking songs to the public&#8217;s ears.</p>
<p>The singer is undoubtedly running on top gear this year, taking a roaring 58 live gigs to the table. He will be carrying his performances around the world including USA, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Ireland, UK, Spain and Canada. He is kicking off this Tuesday, 14th February in Hollywood in the Hard Rock Live venue. The continuous shows will run through the next few months until he&#8217;s majestically gone around the whole globe finishing in Niagara, Canada on the Saturday, 2nd September at Fallsview Casino.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-59550" src="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/rod-press-600x600.jpeg" alt="rod press" width="600" height="600" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/rod-stewart-releases-new-single-one-more-time-and-announces-new-album-the-tears-of-hercules/">His 31st studio album, </a><em><a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/rod-stewart-releases-new-single-one-more-time-and-announces-new-album-the-tears-of-hercules/">The Tears Of Hercules,</a> </em>was a great success and, considered by the writer himself, some of the best work he has ever created. Whether the legendary rockstar is on a busy roll because of its great outcome is unknown, but it is definitely a great way to recognise his significantly stunning work throughout the years.</p>
<p>He will be bringing the show onto UK roads on the Saturday, 24th of June in Plymouth at the Home Park Stadium, and will proceed to travel through Northampton, Durham, Bristol, Hull and finalise officially in Edinburgh. However, the legendary singer has come back this summer to drop-ship an unforgettable set of live experiences in &#8220;under the star&#8221; settings within astounding venues such as rugby and cricket stadiums, estates and even castles. As he <a href="https://allmusicmagazine.com/rod-stewart-announces-2023-uk-summer-tour-dates-as-part-of-his-global-hits-tour/">states himself</a>: &#8220;<em>I’m impatiently awaiting this summer playing at a variety of special venues – football, cricket and rugby stadiums, estates and castles! We’ll all be dancing under the stars.”</em></p>
<p>The UK will be waiting to hear his famous raspy voice with open arms. Stewart has been pinned as one of the best singers of his generation and has received a number of deserved awards including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the ASCAP Founders Award for songwriting and most importantly was knighted by Prince William in the 2016 Birthday Honours after generating 10 number-one albums and 31 top-ten singles in the UK, six of which reached number one.</p>
<p>His presence is always a celebration for the music industry. This year is set to be a big one for Rod Stewart.</p>
