David Bowie: These rumours just won't go away and, if Bowie is going to make a live comeback, Glastonbury is the place to do it (he headlined in 1971 and 2000). Perhaps he'll bring Mick Jagger out for a rendition of 'Dancing In The Street'...

Radiohead: They're British, they've got a new album bubbling away, and they would surely appease those still livid about Kanye West. They also haven't headlined since 2003, which is a generous amount of breathing space for a new generation of Glastonbury attendees to build up an appetite.

Coldplay: In some ways, given that Michael Eavis apparently said Chris Martin was involved, Coldplay seem like the most likely third headliner. But would he really have let such a massive hint slip if it really was Coldplay? And then why did Emily Eavis rule out Coldplay in March? Perhaps it'll be some sort of Chris Martin supergroup.

Paul McCartney: He last headlined in 2004, and has is back on the road this summer - with a gap in his EU tour for Glastonbury. He has more hits than probably anyone in history, plus 'Hey Jude' makes for a great Glasto closer. He's also one of the few musicians alive that Noel Gallagher has actually had something positive to say about so the could even share a stage...

Elton John: Legends don't come more legendary than Sir Elton, and his June UK tour dates lead quite neatly up to Glasto weekend. We'd welcome a sing-along with the Rocket Man. Plus, it would be wonderful to see how those screaming for the festival to bin Kanye and get a "guitar band" would react.

Stone Roses: They're currently the bookies favourites - thought that seems to change every five minutes. They're certainly big enough and British enough though, and perhaps this would be a good opportunity to release their first album in over twenty years?

Muse: Download Festival is currently the only UK festival they're playing at (not counting Big Weekend), but they're not billed as a UK exclusive. This, coupled with the new album they've got coming out, suggests that a surprise might not be out of the question.

Fleetwood Mac: They've been rumoured to headline for years, and have a tidy gap in between shows in London and Leeds that falls upon the closing Sunday. They've been announced as an 'exclusive' for the Isle Of Wight, but the same was said of Metallica with Sonisphere last year. Mick Fleetwood did tell Chris Evans, "Loud and clear, we love Glastonbury, but we're not playing it." But that could just be a really good bluff.

Noel Gallagher/Oasis: He went from coyly saying he'd be there one way or another to a rather sideways comment that he's "made other plans." Either way, his tour diary is still free for the Sunday slot - though his other plans could just be another family barbeque. It's also possible, given the recent rumours, that it'll be Oasis, but we suspect if this was the case there wouldn't be two bands joining.

Queen: Believe it or not, Queen have never, ever headlined Glastonbury. The opportunity looked like it had passed with the death of Freddie Mercury in 1992, but with their new touring lead singer Adam Lambert providing the band with a new lease of life, perhaps now is finally the chance. Lambert is American, but the rest are obviously British...
