The final headliner of the Glastonbury Music Festival was confirmed today, as rock legends The Who declared they'd be performing on the Pyramid Stage during late June, along with other headliners Kanye West and the Foo Fighters. The inclusion of the band continues the attempts of the Eavis family to book the biggest acts in British history, such as the Rolling Stones during 2013. It makes us wonder: What are the biggest bands in UK music history that haven't graced the big stage yet? There are several that still seem ripe for a headlining gig, such as Elton John, Fleetwood Mac and more. -

Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks Dishes on Cocaine Habit, Relationship with Lindsey Buckingham
Stevie Nicks covers the latest issue of "Rolling Stone," and the Fleetwood Mac singer opened up about her impressive career in a lengthy profile. Nicks talked about her cocaine habit and her tumultuous relationship with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. The band is currently on a reunion tour with its original lineup. Despite the fact that Nicks is a huge fan of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and would leave Fleetwood Mac to join that band if the opportunity arose, she loves her iconic group. "We choose to stay," she said about her Mac bandmates. "Because we can't do anything else. None of us are ever going to stand up and say, 'I'm going to make my own choice for the first time in my life, and I'm going away, and I don't know if I'm coming back." Nicks also revealed that her drug habit back in the day was a big problem. -

Lionel Richie Confirmed for Glastonbury; Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters Still Want to Play
Lionel Richie is the first big name secured for Glastonbury's 2015 festival. The "All Night Long (All Night)" singer will perform during the event's Sunday afternoon slot, which is historically reserved for some of the most-respected names in music. Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen and Brian Wilson have all played Glastonbury's Sunday afternoon set. Dolly Parton had the honor last year, drawing an enormous crowd, "NME" noted. No headliners have been announced, and Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters have yet to receive a call about performing at the legendary festival. "I'm really excited to play Glastonbury next year, as it's one of the most iconic festivals in the world," Richie told "The Guardian." "It has a phenomenal history and the alumni of artists who have previously played is incredible, so I'm honored to be joining that club. It will be a really special moment for me and I can't wait to share it with everyone. I can now say, 'Yes, I'm playing Glastonbury.'" Organizer Emily Eavis was ecstatic to book Richie, saying there will be "a lot of love" for the artist at Glastonbury. Earlier this month, Grohl suggested that Eavis contact his band to play the festival, but that call has not come yet. "She hasn't called — I have not gotten the call yet," he said. "The Foo Fighters haven't been there since 1998, so er ... and that's a fun festival." Eavis seemed open to the idea when the frontman suggested it, though. -
11 Great Albums With 11 Songs
If you're obsessed with albums like I am, the number of songs in a tracklist has an inexplicable significance. While having 10, 12, or 15 tracks seems very neat and tidy, and having nine or less seems vaguely progressive, 11 tracks bursts with confidence, as if the artist had too many good songs for 10, but didn't want to pad it with 12. In honor of Nov. 11 (11/11!), here are the 11 best albums with 11 tracks. -
