Fleetwood Mac to headline Isle Of Wight Festival 2015
Fleetwood Mac will headline the Isle Of Wight Festival in 2015, closing the event on the Sunday.
After being coy about their festival schedule, amid a vast UK arena tour - and for some reason not playing Glastonbury - the legendary '70s rock troupe confirm that they will be performing at the iconic Isle Of Wight event, following in the footsteps of Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, The Who, The Rolling Stones, and countless others.
It's a worldwide festival exclusive. Christine McVie will also be performing with the band.
Fleetwood Mac said in a statement: "We've always wanted to come to the UK to play The Isle of Wight Festival, and so we are delighted that in 2015, we are finally making it happen! So many of our fellow artists and friends have played at this historic event over the years, and we can't wait to see all of our fans on the island next summer."
The festival's John Giddings added: "It's no secret that Fleetwood Mac have been on my wishlist for The Isle of Wight Festival for some time now, so I'm very pleased and extremely proud to have them headline next year's event. With Christine now back in the band too, it is going to be a momentous occasion, a moment in music history."
Isle Of Wight Festival 2015 will take place at Seaclose Park, Newport, Isle Of Wight, 11-14 June. Tickets are on sale 9am Friday 5 December from www.isleofwightfestival.com.
