Celebrating its landmark 40th anniversary, Glastonbury 2010 could potentially be, to use Michael Eavis' well-worn phrase, “the best yet”. With all tickets selling out within 12 hours yesterday - a marked change from relatively sluggish sales in the two previous years - there seems to be a buzz of expectation for a monster year.
While the clichés are rolled out with monotonous regularity saying that Glasto is all about the “experience and unique atmosphere” rather than just the line-up, I reckon those phrases should be banished for next June's spectacle. Glastonbury 2010 needs to deliver headline acts monumental enough to match its landmark anniversary. At a whopping £200 a ticket, the recession hit British public deserves its money's worth too.
Here are ten acts that I believe would make perfect headline acts for Glastonbury 2010 – some are realistic while others are very far-fetched. I'll live in hope though...

Radiohead - Their 1997 headline set just weeks after the release of 'OK Computer' is rightfully regarded as the best Glastonbury performance of all time. In 2003 they mesmerised us again, but failed to match the astonishing beauty of their show six years earlier. With 'In Rainbows' under their belts and talk of new material in the pipeline, it's about time Radiohead returned for another historic show.

- Can't argue with any of these. I'd go for Rolling Stones most, just because you see them being able to for much longer. I reckon they'd be a good Sunday closer. Bowie - DEFINITELY.

- I'd like that lion from the picture to headline. RAAAWWRR!
- Radiohead will definitely be headining next year (I know this for a fact) and the Eavis' both love Coldplay, so expect to seem them.

- What about Dragonforce? A pro performance, their music crosses generations, genres and the oceans. Just about every starry eyed 8 year old boy with an air guitar knows who they are.
