Ladbrokes are not taking any bets regarding Radiohead headlining Glastonbury.
Before images of the bear logo were pointed out by BBC 6 Music news yesterday on Twitter, Radiohead were odds on favourites. Now after Gigwise spoke with a customer service agent at Ladbrokes over the phone, we can reveal the bookmakers aren't taking any bets at all. Presumably because the clues are too strong.
The logo, which was first used the the band in their promotional campaign for Kid A (2000), has been widely used in the band's advertising and merchandise since was spotted on the Glastonbury webcam in the form of a crop circle. Its outlines of it or something very similar can be seen through blurry images below.

Radiohead have received a strong amount of critical acclaim for their beautiful new album A Moon Shaped Pool. However, they didn't turn up to the Mercury Prize awards and remain the most nominated act to have never won. Nevertheless, they remain one of the world's most loved bands and are THE perfect Glastonbury headliners.
Meanwhile, bets for Guns N' Roses to headline Glastonbury are also off after interest got too intense. The band, who earned a whopping $117 million on their reunion tour in the US have made for a rock fairy tale this year with many beliving the fall out between Slash and Axl Rose was too strong for them to ever play on stage again. Fortunately, the shows have been receiving rave review and if Radiohead are joined by these classic rock legends the festival will be in for one of the best years it ever has.
Kings Of Leon, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Daft Punk, Bruce Springsteen, The Stone Roses, and Lady Gaga are among the other bands tipped to take a headline spot at the legendary Somerset festival.
The Stone Roses especially have a chance as their stadium dates line up neatly just before the Glastonbury festival making them available. The show if it does happen is likely to coincide with the release of their highly-anticipated new album.
Tickets to the event naturally sold out with demand for tickets causing the phone lines to melt momentarily.
