Rod Stewart Postpones Two More Concerts, Days After Canceling 200th Las Vegas Show

Rod Stewart has had to postpone two more concerts, days after canceling his 200th show in Las Vegas.

The legendary singer shared on Instagram Friday, “We regret to announce that tonight’s Rod Stewart’s concert in Stateline, NV and his August 10 concert in Lincoln, CA have been postponed as the singer recovers from a summer strain of COVID-19.”

He added that the two impacted shows on his North American tour have been rescheduled for Aug. 20 and Aug. 18, respectively. “Ticket holders should hold on to their tickets as they will be honored for the rescheduled shows,” his statement concluded.

Earlier this week, Stewart canceled his Aug. 7 performance for his Las Vegas residency, The Hits, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace — which would have been the 200th show of his 13-year residency at the venue — due to strep throat.

“I’m desperately sorry to miss this 200th show celebration. Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me,” he wrote on Instagram at the time. “I’m absolutely gutted. I’ve been looking forward to this concert for so long. My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused.”

The Las Vegas performance was set to close out the singer’s residency, which initially launched in 2011, before he headed out on his 2024 North American tour. But Stewart announced on Wednesday the residency will “now be returning in 2025” for The Encore Shows.

His 2024 North American tour is scheduled to run through Sept. 15 before he makes his way to Europe for a handful of shows. Stewart’s new Las Vegas residency is set to kick off in March next year.
