The Mercury Prize-winning Manchester heroes Elbow are currently being tipped to headline Glastonbury festival 2014. 

The band last played the event in 2011, when they performed a triumphant set on the Pyramid Stage before U2. Many festival-goers argued that Guy Garvey and co's performance far surpassed that of U2, and that they should have originally been headliners.

Now, efestivals.co.uk are touting Elbow as a 'strong rumour' to play the Pyrmaid Stage. The website is renowned for being fairly accurate and reliable when it comes to festival tip-offs. 

The rumours come after Kasabian and Foo Fighters were tipped by bookmakers as favourites to headline next year's event at Worthy Farm. 

Meanwhile, Gigwise readers have named Muse, Biffy Clyro and David Bowie among their top picks for Glasto 2013 - cast your vote here.

Watch Elbow performing 'One Day Like This' at Glastonbury festival 2011 below:

Following a sold-out and critically-acclaimed arena tour in November 2012 where they played a dark new track called 'Charge', the band have said to have been 'on a break', despite having plenty of new material written for a new LP. 

Speaking to The Sun newspaper ahead of that tour, frontman Guy Garvey said: "We've already done six songs for the next album, then we'll come back to finish it next year."
