As the world speculates who will fill the third and final headliner spot at Glastonbury 2015, bookies have stated that the favourite of choice would be Coldplay.
This week, over 70 acts were revealed to be joining previously announced headliners Foo Fighters and Kanye West, but the spot of closing the Pyramid Stage remains open.
Now, bookmakers Ladbrokes are currently offering odds of 3/1 on Coldplay being announced as third headliner, followed by The Stone Roses at 4/1, and Madonna and Blur both at 5/1.
Ladbrokes go on to list Taylor Swift with odds of 6/1, Elton John at 7/1, Oasis at 8/1 and Ed Sheeran 10/1, with Paul McCartney at 12/1, Sam Smith at 14/1, Radiohead at 16/1, Muse 16/1, Rod Stewart 20/1 and One Direction the outsider bet at 25/1.
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "The betting's wide open, but it's Oasis that punters are desperate to see reform at Glastonbury. Stranger things have happened, but sadly for fans of the Gallagher brothers it looks like it will be a special Sunday for Coldplay."
Earlier this year, Emily Eavis denied that the band would headline saying in March "It's not Coldplay, this is the first year that most of the rumours are wrong." However, things change and Coldplay are no strangers to Worthy Farm - having headlined four times previously, the last in 2011.
Coldplay released new album Ghost Stories last year, before revealing that another 'final' album A Head Full Of Dreams would be out this year - and suggested that touring would follow. "It’s our seventh thing, and the way we look at it, it’s like the last Harry Potter book or something like that," he BBC Radio One's Zane Lowe. "Not to say that there might not be another thing one day, but this is the completion of something. I have to think of it as the final thing we’re doing. Otherwise we wouldn’t put everything into it."
Ladbrokes odds to headline the Pyramid Stage on Sunday evening at Glastonbury 2015:
Coldplay 3/1
Stone Roses 4/1
Madonna 5/1
Blur 5/1
Taylor Swift 6/1
Elton John 7/1
Oasis 8/1
Ed Sheeran 10/1
Paul McCartney 12/1
Sam Smith 14/1
Radiohead 16/1
Muse 16/1
Rod Stewart 20/1
One Direction 25/1
Meanwhile, fellow bookies Paddy Power stated that Stone Roses are currently the favourite, who are currently at 6/4 to headline the Sunday slot. Taylor Swift is shortly behind at 7/4, followed by Blur, Coldplay, Elton John and Chemical Brothers respectively.
This week sees the window close for those wishing to pay off the credit on their Glastonbury to do so, before cancelled, refunded and unpaid tickets go back on sale.
The re-sale is of ticket packages that have been cancelled or refunded during the recent period of payment. From 6pm tonight (Thursday 16 April), fans will be able to ticket and coach packages, before general admission tickets go on re-sale from 9am on Sunday 19 April.
Glastonbury 2015 takes place at Worthy Farm from 24 - 28 June, with other rumoured headliners including Paul McCartney, Elton John, Taylor Swift, Queen and more.
