Fleetwood Mac confirmed to headline UK’s Isle Of Wight FestDecember 2, 2014 - 15:34 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Fleetwood Mac have confirmed they will headline the Isle Of Wight festival in June, ruling out once and for all any possibility of them playing Glastonbury, Gigwise reported. A worldwide festival exclusive, the band will headline the festival that takes place 11-14 June at Seaclose Park, Newport. 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." Festival organiser 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." Last year the Isle Of Wight festival was headlined by Calvin Harris, Biffy Clyro, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Kings Of Leon. Giddings revealed recently that both Foo Fighters and Ed Sheeran had turned down the opportunity to play the festival. Further headliners for 2015 are expected soon. Other than their date at the Isle Of Wight, Fleetwood Mac embark on a massive tour next summer.
