Mick Fleetwood promises Fleetwood Mac will play Glastonbury

Fleetwood Mac rocker Mick Fleetwood has promised his band will play Britain’s Glastonbury festival “one day”.
Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis has long spoken of his ambition to see the legendary group headline the event in Somerset, England, but has never managed negotiate a deal with Mick and his bandmates John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.
The 70-year-old says the band want to play the famous festival and one day will fly in to perform.
“You will be satisfied one day,” he tells Britain’s Daily Express newspaper. “One day we’ll just get on a plane and come over and do it.”
Last year (16) Glastonbury boss Michael said that his attempts to hire the band had been thwarted by their pay demands, as acts usually lower their festival fees to appear at the Somerset, England event.
“Adele did it for less, Rolling Stones did it for a reasonable rate,” he told The Guardian. “We can’t afford to spend £4-5 million ($5.4 million to $6.7 million) on people to play. Mick Fleetwood said he would do it himself, but come on. I’d like the rest of the band and they all want to be paid a lot of money.”
However the Rumours rocker says the band, who headlined another British event, the Isle of Wight festival, in 2015, have come close to playing Glastonbury several times and pay was not a factor in their decision to decline.
“We have been asked to do it several times and it’s only through circumstances that we’ve declined,” he explains. “I personally feel it would be a great thing to do.”
Fleetwood Mac will not be performing at Glastonbury next year however, as the festival is taking a break before it returns in 2019.
