Band also add dates in Birmingham, Leeds and Glasgow

Fleetwood Mac have been announced as the first headline act of Isle of Wight 2015.

The band’s set at Seaclose Park will be their only festival show of the year.

The set on Sunday 14 June, which will close the festival, will include original member Christine McVie, who recently confirmed that she would be rejoining the band.

Festival organiser John Giddings told Newsbeat: “It’s the best news I’ve had in a long while.”

He said that he had been asking the band to perform at the Isle of Wight for the last seven years.

“Every year I have asked without fail,” he revealed. “I’d like to tell you otherwise but it’s true, I have begged them.”

The band will play at London O2 Arena on June 26

Tickets for the original run of shows went on sale last week (November 14). Today it has been confirmed that the band will also play a fifth gig at London O2 Arena on June 26. Tickets are on sale now.

The shows will feature ChristineMcVie, who recently rejoined the group and performing with her oldbandmates for the first time since 1997.The band’s Mick Fleetwood recently denied that Fleetwood Mac will be appearing at Glastonbury in 2015.

Despite Fleetwood’s statement, the band have remained one of the favourites to top the bill at the event next year, though Michael Eavis has stated in recent weeks that the chances of the band headlining were looking unlikely.

“One of the things that I’d like to clear up is that we’re not playing Glastonbury,” Fleetwood told Radio 2. “A lot of folks think that we are, so loud and clear: We love Glastonbury and all the surrounding history of such a lovely festival but we’re not playing it.”

Fleetwood added: “No bad faith for Glastonbury because I just don’t want people thinking it’s us.” He was then asked if this meant the band will never play Worthy Farm to which the drummer replied: “Never say never.”
