Rod to line out at Nowlan Park

ONE of the world’s legendary rockers will play Kilkenny later this summer when he headlines the Source Festival.

Rod Stewart, the man who brought us If You Think I'm Sexy is to send pulses racing at Nowlan Park on June 25, when he headlines this year's festival. Tickets go on sale on Thursday and are expected to sell out quickly.

The Scot will be joined by a line-up of support acts, including Natasha Bedingfield, with more special guests to be announced over the coming months. It's the fifth year of the festival, which has drawn thousands to the south east. Previously it has featured Paul Simon, James Taylor and Bob Dylan, who described the vibe at the open-air festival as one of the "music highlights of his year."
