Stolen guitar allegedly belongs to ex-Rolling Stone artist, claims museum is in possession; museum denies the claim
The Rolling Stones, the iconic British rock band, did not perform at Glastonbury in 2013 as some may believe. Instead, the band took the stage at Hyde Park, London on July 5, 1969, marking a significant moment in their history.
The performance, attended by nearly 250,000 fans, was a memorable one, with Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood, and Mick Taylor leading the band. Despite the passage of time, the band's energy and charisma were undiminished, as they delivered a set that showcased their evolution from blues-based rock innovators to one of the most enduring and popular live acts worldwide.
The location of the performance was Hyde Park, London, not Glastonbury, England, as some might assume. However, it is worth noting that the Pyramid main stage, a staple of the Glastonbury Festival, was not involved in this performance.
The Rolling Stones have a long history of remarkable performances at major events and festivals, beginning from the 1960s through to the present day. Their 1969 Hyde Park performance is just one of many defining moments in rock history, setting records for attendance and showcasing their enduring appeal.
