Elbow are strongly rumoured for an appearance at Glastonbury 2014

Glasto boss Michael Eavis has previously spoken out about next year's headliners, claiming that the acts have never headlined the event before and are 'pretty obvious'. 

Speaking to BBC Newsbeat, Eavis said that this year's event would be 'hard to beat', but that he was already thinking about acts for Glastonbury 2015. 

"I don't believe that we can top what we did this year, the weather was perfect," he said. "The Stones were absolutely brilliant, all the other stuff we're doing in the southeast corner was absolutely fantastic. I'm not going to say we can do it better 'cause we can't, that was the ultimate festival this year! Downhill all the way now. I've had 44 years of an incredible career and we're still milking the old cows as well."

Speaking about the acts he has lined up for next year's event, Eavis continued: "Pretty obvious isn't it? There aren't many left. It's the process of elimination isn't it? I think we've got three or four really good ones lined up for next year and we're sorting out 2015 as well. I take the liberty of booking the headliners myself."

In another interview with NME, Eavis added that 2014's headliners were 'more or less in place' and that they were new to the festival.

"They're three bands who haven't played Glastonbury, and that's important," he said. "There aren't many bands left who haven't played the festival, and before we run out I'd like to persuade the ones on my wish list to come down. I think I've managed that with these three."

Festival news and rumours website Efestivals recently reported that Elbow, Fleetwood Mac and Depeche Mode were likely to appear at next year's event - with the latter two likely to headline, as Elbow appeared on the Pyramid Stage before U2 in 2011. 

As always, speculation surrounds the likelihood of appearances from Prince and David Bowie.
