Glastonbury Lineup Includes Rolling Stones

In October, U.K.’s Sun reported that Glastonbury Festival organizer Michael Eavis was “desperate to get the band confirmed.”

Ronnie Wood told London’s Independent in February that he would meet with his bandmates in March and that Glastonbury would be his first question.  Evidently, that question is now answered.

Set for June 28-30 at Worthy Farm in Pilton, England, Glastonbury will also welcome Portishead, Chase & Status, The xx, Foals,Example, The Smashing Pumpkins and Alt-J on the Other Stage; Chic feat. Nile Rogers, Public Enemy, The Weekend, Seasick Steve, Major Lazer and Tom Tom Club on the West Holts Stage and Cat Power, The Horrors, Fuck Buttons, Django Django, Rodriguez and Dinosaur Jr. on the Park Stage.

But it doesn’t stop there.  Glastonbury has several more stages to fill as well as its Acoustic Tent and venues Silver Waves, Theater & Circus and Block9.  Artists listed include Steve Winwood, Sinead O’Connor, Nas, and Martha Wainwright.

It should also be noted that former Rolling Stones member Bill Wyman will bring his Rhythm Kings to the Acoustic Tent, but no word on whether that will intersect with Jagger & Co.

Tickets for Glastonbury 2013 sold out in October.  For more information about this year’s lineup, point your browser to GlastonburyFestivals.co.uk.
