Have the Rolling stones ever played Glasto?

Forgive my ignorance/Youth but have the Rolling Stones ever played Glasto? If so what year?

I remember reading somewhere a few years ago that they demanded £1million to play! any truth in this?

They haven't. They were rumoured, but surprisingly they took the money at played the IOW instead.

They did play Alatamont once. That didn't go too well.

The gready, gready bastards are too broke & skint to play a festival as well respected as Glastonbury & one which would give a substantial amount of performance fees to charities. In short, no they've never played.

the stones have never played because they like to have complete control over the sound system/stage set up/light system etc, something that glasto would never give them, and rightly so.

they played IOW because their road manager was also head of the stage set up at IOW that year, so it was much easier for them to have their usual set up.

I imagine large sums of money were involved as well.
