So are Fleetwood Mac lying about Glasto?

how much do i have to pay to sniff stevie's bum?

Like a meet and eat?

Considering it's still probably laced with some of Columbia's finest from the late 70's, I reckon a lot.

[Thearg]

Changed my vote to a no.....it ain't happening

I have been considering changing my vote to no but the fact that the dates are still free and the Bristol typo I'm gonna hold off,the whole we're not doing Glasto could be all about the iow exclusive.

It aint over til them dates have gone or the headliners get announced,when does iow normally sell out,by the spring perhaps when Glasto can start announcing?

Is Mick still on the sniff? What's the craic with the scarves?

[lodge20]

No seems not, they have go for the money!

Fleetwood mac promised us last year if asked again in 2015 they would headline…. Many fans including myself purchased tickets to see them headline and instead they

have gone exclusively to Isle of Wight festival for a load more cash.

Come on Mick Fleetwood, you could have and should have chosen Glastonbury. You can fit it in - you have chosen to sell out o2 gigs in London when you could have

closed GLastonbury 2015! You would have made up in lost money with album sales and reached a whole new audience - Live on TV !

Are you not all making enough money? 2 world tours in 4 years . . . . . .

Shame on you.

You bought a glastonbury ticket just because you thought this desperately dull band were playing??

I sincerely hope you still go to the festival even if this MOR tripe will not be there as your cloth ears will be opened up to a plethora of infinitely better sounds.

[willutalk]

All of this makes Dick Fleetwood seem like an absolute moron.

Shame because he seemed like a decent fella on Dave Grohls SoundCity Film, when interviewed.

[Cheesey]

Sounds like such an empty experience. Although this guy seemed to love it.

According to that article, you get a 3D badge with a picture of Mick looking like something out of a Harry Potter film:

What the actual fuck is that all about?

[ericlered]

You can do that in a music shop for free!

I love those photos. Theres such a look of distain on his face. An absolute swindler.

Give me ALL of your money....

[ghostdancer1]

if they were that interested in money, surely they wouldn't be an IoW exclusive, and would do several festivals all around the world for mega-bucks?

whatever they're being paid for IoW exclusivity would surely be wiped out by a few big paydays at large festivals?

i know The Killers got 500k for headlining Electric Picnic (32k capacity) a few years ago, so FM could surely be charging 750k+ per festival. 4 big festivals and that's 3million minimum. surely IoW wouldn't be paying more than that for exclusivity (not including FM's performance fee).

You would prefer it in 2D?

I can see the the IOW cheque to Fleetwood being about 4-5 million.

[Englishdragon]

Thats cool.

Fleetwoods sounds like you're ushered in, a token picture, told a few bog standard stories and then send back out to the queue with the rest of the fans. Lasts about 40 minutes all in. For 700 quid.

Thats not really the fault of the band though, most top acts are doing this now, nice way for the label/tour management to make more money at gigs.

You want souless meet and greets, search for the Avril Lavinge meet and greet she had.

Seriously? it wont even be a 5th of that.

Libertines still have one of the (if not THE) biggest festival payoff and they only got a million.

You are taking the piss of course!!!

At least there will be some returned tickets for the April resale for folks who want to go to GF regardless.

Some of the Avril ones are ridiculously cringe. That's crazy, can't believe I've never seen them before.

holy crap imagine being a massive rhianna fan and her letting you do that to her! fair play to her for that.

you've not covered all the angles with that.

Yes, just about everyone likes to make lots of money. But they also want to make lots of money for the least possible work.

So factor that in, too.

I love Rou, such a legend, meet him a couple of times and he's a great person to chat with, treats his fans with such legitimate normality.

I've spoken to him about fan packages & he didn't say very nice things about My Chemical Romance who ES had supported when I saw them in Brighton.
