I wonder what the Hyde Park stage will look like.

The Stones are taking a reduced paycheck for Glastonbury - they're doing it because they wwant to do it, not for the cash.
As to why - I reckon it's partly to do with Mick's psychological make-up. The thought of everyone else except the Stones having done one of the biggest gigs on the planet - Bowie, U2, The Who, Macca, etc - could have brought out his competitive spirit.

According to a very recent interview, Mick says Glastonbury was something they'd always wanted to do but had never been asked. They're doing it this year because they were finally asked to [at 6:25].

At Glastonbury? I'd be surprised. The Isle of Wight arena is closed overnight which gave them means and opportunity to modify the stage, but at Glasto the campsite and the arena is all in the one bit so they can't block access to the Pyramid. If there's even the slightest bit of mud it'll just become an impossibility.
There is a mini-arena bit down the front, but the sides are open so people can come and go - it's mainly there to prevent huge surges from the back of the crowd.

They've been asked plenty of times and turned it down - though that's often been a matter of timing as the band haven't been together for touring at the time.

Yes - can't see how they could bring their own modified stage to Glasters as the Stones will be on immediately after the previous band. There's simply no time to build them a custom stage.
