Fleetwood Mac too expensive for Glastonbury
Fleetwood Mac played their shows in the Uk just before Glastonbury started. For those unfamiliar with the festival - it is the largest outdoor music event during the UK summer. Every significant artist has played over the years and there has been speculation that Fleetwood Mac would play. But it seems (not surprisingly) that they are more interested in the cash rather than adding their names to the long list of bands that have headlined the festival.

Kyle Minogue just reached number one in the Uk Album charts, a week after performing at Glastonbury.
Fmac never understood ...you don’t play Glastonbury for the fee, but for the kudos. Coldplay received just £200,000....it is not about the fee. |

They absolutely don't get it. They are so far removed from EVERYTHING. It would be a colossal disappointment, if, on the off shot, Mick "my next alimony payment is due" Fleetwood, actually does agree to cut "their" fee, and it's not the Rumours 5 that plays Glastonbury. I don't think they will ever do it. Festivals aren't their thing. Pink Pop was awful (based upon the videos I saw and the reviews I read) and Isle of Waite wasn't great. To be fair, Isle of Waite happened in the middle of a tour, but they all sounded tired and off.

Although, Mick has no morals, and the others aren’t far behind. |

I love that it’s not enough money for them. But, The Rolling Stones did Glastonbury and whatever fee they got was good enough for Mick and Keith. |

Based upon Mick's latest round of interviews, they will never work with him again so.....

Think about it, they somehow managed to turn an awards show that was nothing but kudos to them, into some giant breakup spectacle.

I still get a kick out of how they talk about time marching on etc...as if they have some giant project they want to accomplish that was being hindered by Lindsey, when in reality all this drama to move on was about another greatest hits tour. It makes way less sense than anything that happened in 87.

Well really, FM is her new solo band with special guest Christine McVie.

Very true, but Stevie solo will probably get better reviews than this bunch is...she may want to really distance herself now.

I assume she needed a nice chunk of cash, hence this current tour. Up to this point, Fleetwood Mac tours have to make her more money than touring solo. She wasn't filling arenas solo until she either opened for Rod or added The Pretenders as an opening act. That being said, I truly do believe at this point, she is likely a more viable product solo than with a continued cobbled together version of Fleetwood Mac.

Even though she was likely the "mastermind" behind this cobbled together version, I agree, she's, now, more viable solo, especially with FM in its current state. Last edited by Storms123; 07-07-2019 at 09:29 PM.. |

However, the shortsightedness of them remains that if Buckingham McVie was a proper Fleetwood Mac album, including 3-4 Stevie songs, with a tour to follow with the 5 of them, they would have all made more money than they did otherwise. And, they would actually be demonstrating that they are a functioning and active band with some ability to remain somewhat creative in their old age, as opposed to playing 19 song setlist that include Tom Petty and Crowded House songs. |
