BBC to air one hour of Rolling Stones Glastonbury set
-
The BBC and The Rolling Stones have come to a recent compromise after their recent disagreements, with Jagger and co allowing the broadcaster to air one hour of their Glastonbury headlining show.
The result should please the Beeb, far greater than the four songs they BBC were previously limited to. Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis told The Independent newspaper: “I think they’re all friends now. They’re going to be playing for about an hour for the TV. I think Mick Jagger wanted to play to the people here, rather than a TV show.”
The Rolling Stones’ full set is expected to last 2 hours 15 minutes, so the TV viewers will still have limited viewing. Jagger recently revealed he has plans to join his family and fellow festival-goers at Worthy Farm in Somerset, by camping out during the festival weekend.
The other Glastonbury headliners are The Arctic Monkeys and Mumford & Sons.
