Rolling Stones or Fleetwood Mac ?

[TheSeventhOne]

Mac. The Stones are overrated.

[danbailey80]

still, it's not exactly a great song. It just has that memorable bass line that comes in in the middle...

[shineongas]

.Fleetwood Mac. The Stones final tour was in 1981.

Both bands any only in it for the money though. One final payday to top up their pensions.

[BlackHole2006]

After a few listens probably Fleetwood Mac, I actually think they would be pretty good if I was highly intoxicated.

[JamesT977]

Fleetwood Mac everytime.

[oneeye]

Stones for me

[guypjfreak]

hard one why cant we have them both its glastonbury after all lol

[Red Day]

Haven't seen either live, and I don't have any stones stuff but I have rumours and played it on Friday. It's a fantastic album but for sheer classic acts in my lifetime, Id have to go for the stones. Be pretty happy if both play.

[alframsey]

Not a massive fan of either if I am honest, I do like them but not mental over them. I'd probs rather Fleetwood Mac though

FM tour starting Apr 4th in USA - 35 dates. That'd eat up April and May, maybe into June, before elsewhere in the summer.

I'm putting two and two together and getting 8, but hope there's some serious work being done behind the scenes to sort this!

Soon my friend

I'm trying to stay relaxed about it, but they are my favourite band, with the opportunity to play the best festival on the planet - and i'm even taking my Dad, who got me into them! I'm going to be a nightmare next year if they get booked.

US tour dates for Fleetwood Mac released. Starting on April 4th and finishing on June 12th in Atlanta.

Few days off then over to UK to make my Glasto dreams come true? Maybe, just maybe.

Only American dates are announced, but the group is planning on touring the whole world. "If everything goes will we'll be in Europe doing festivals this summer," says Nicks. "Then we'll actually tour Europe, which is different than just doing festivals. Then we might do fifteen or so shows in Australia."

I would say those dates look pretty much perfect for a potential glasto gig. A much needed couple of weeks off between US and Europe and then on with the European festivals.

Definately Feetwood Mac

[Morse Code]

I reckon we'll get to see both down on Worthy Farm next year and I for one will be happy to report back afterwards the answer to this question!

[Justiceforcedave]

Any efestivals news on which European festivals they may be talking about? These press releases tend to come alongside a little shift around in gossip and new rumors don't they?

[eFestivals]

you mean the festivals they were talking about not doing in favour of gigs?

So any news on if they may turn up at a UK festival? Or that eliminates them from appearing at any of them?

My hunch on Glastonbury stays close to Michael's words about Fleetwood Mac from about five years ago: "No one's interested in them, are they?"

I'd guess that they'd be most likely to crop up in one of the following places, if they are doing outdoor shows or festivals (that quote suggests they might not be to me)....

1. Wembley Stadium.

2. one of the new AEG shows in Hyde Park

3. Hard Rock Calling, if it's going to continue as it now can't use Hyde Park (if still run by Live Nation, anyway).

4. at a Vince Power promoted event, if he's still in business to do them (I'm not sure that he will be, despite his efforts).

Then again Emily has expressed a desire to have them, so perhaps what Michael said means nothing now. And now I think about it, perhaps Emily's tweet was a part of the negotiation process to prove that they'd be wanted by the Glastonbury audience.

Who knows? Bands based outside the UK are often very hard to get good info on (when I got info before that was sourced from the states, but was a one off. And was wrong anyway ).

[zahidf]

Guess we will know more when the Euro dates are announced:-)

I think it'd be a no myself, just on the 'in it for the money' aspect of the tour.

[Stu H]

Hang on, but this is Stevie's latest quote:

Discussing the prospect of playing European shows, meanwhile, she said: "If everything goes will we'll be in Europe doing festivals this summer. Then we'll actually tour Europe, which is different than just doing festivals. Then we might do 15 or so shows in Australia."

They've never been a festival band, so perhaps this is an opportunity to break into that market. Not least the size of the crowds they'd be playing to.

On the popularity bit, weren't they top of the poll which did the rounds a few months ago? They do have a massive and very loyal fan base, so it's a bit crass of Eavis to have made the comment about them not being relevant.

Plus since then they've had the whole Glee thing (which was cringe-worthy but had them top trending on twitter throughout the planet).

With the way these dates are being planned, I think Glastonbury would be missing a trick if they aren't at least talking to their people.

Perhaps not as headliners, but certainly Sunday eve set.
