How much do glastonbury pay headliners

[Glastonbezza]

Noel Gallagher says glastonbury don't pay enough , but how much is not enough ?

[GlastoEls]

Ring Fleetwood Mac and ask!

[Hugh Jass]

The Stones got about £250k which was described as the "bog standard fee". Reading/Leeds headliners can command up to £1million (for two shows).

Glastonbury has always sold itself to headliners on name and prestige rather than fees.

It's more than enough, I think some of the artists are getting too greedy!

I can remember being told that Radiohead and R.E.M both got 200k in 2003. I guess that there is a TV fee on top of that.

Crazy that 2003's crop of headliners was a right bunch of cardigans, I'd happily take that over the rubbish we're looking at this year.

I think the Glastonbury number is correct - but if reports are to be believed, then R/L have paid significantly more than that on occasion - they gave the Libertines 1.5 million in 2010, and had them as sub.

I thought the Libertines got £1m for that and we're paid more than Arcade Fire who headlined. I could be wrong though.

I thought R.E.M. played for free that year or something. I could swear I heard that.

Reports at the time definitely said 1.5m - but lets be honest, given that the number quite possibly came from Pete it could've easily been exaggerated up from 20 quid and a case of beer - we'll never know for certain what the truth is.

I was told that rod stewart got £100k, seems quite low compared to some of the figures on here though so its probably not true
