Bookmakers are giving 3/1 odds that Daft Punk will perform at this year's Glastonbury festival - despte not being on the official line-up for the Worthy Farm spectacular.
The Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys and Mumford & Sons are confirmed to headline the festival in June 2013, but bookmakers Paddy Power seem certain that Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem Christo will also appear at the event. It won't be easy to smuggle their giant pyramid (not to mention a bus-load of collaborators) down to Somerset without someone noticing.
"There’s only a handful of acts that could overshadow the Rolling Stones at Glastonbury and Daft Punk are certainly up ther," says a spokesperson for the bookmakers. "Paddy Power’s 3/1 looks pretty good value at this stage for them to make an appearance."
Paddy Power are also offering odds of 11/2 on Random Access Memories, Daft Punk's long-awaited fourth studio album, being the biggest-selling album of 2013, and 5/1 odds of the album outselling David Bowie in its first week of release. They are also offering 1/7 odds that the album will hit No.1 - but that one is a near certainty, considering the excitement surrounding the release.
