Fleetwood Mac ruled out of Glastonbury Festival

Rumours that Fleetwood Mac would be playing Glastonbury Festival can be put to bed following the announcement of 13 additional tour dates for the band today that put the band Stateside during the Somerset event.

Fleetwood Mac were linked to the Festival whose main stages run from Friday 28th until Sunday 30th June 2013 after singer Stevie Nicks was quoted as saying she would love to play the event.

However tour dates released by Live Nation earlier today reveal the band have shows on both the Saturday and Sunday in Spokane and Portland respectively, as well as a date on the Wednesday in Des Moines. This would make a show at Glastonbury incredibly difficult to fit in too.

Malian singer Rokia Traore is the only act confirmed so far, and the full line-up won't be revealed until mid-April, although the first names are expected be announced sometime before that. A few weeks ago Glastonbury Festival only had one headlining act booked, which the best info suggests is the Arctic Monkeys.
