Ladbrokes have suspended betting on Fleetwood Mac headlining Glastonbury 2014, having previously offered odds of 1/4.

The band are currently on a tour of Europe, which kicked off on September 20 in Dublin and will close in Amsterdam on October 26.

Glastonbury organiser, Michael Eavis, announced earlier this year that he already had the three Glastonbury headliners for 2014 in place. If Ladbrokes’ odds are to be believed, Daft Punk (6/4) and Depeche Mode (6/4) are likely to be named as headliners. David Bowie (3/1) might also be worth a bet.

After months of speculation it has been confirmed that The Rolling Stones will headline the Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, June 29. The Arctic Monkeys and Mumford & Sons will headline on the Friday and Sunday, respectively.

Mick Jagger told fans via Twitter:

“Can’t wait to play Glastonbury. I have my wellies and my yurt.”

Other acts announced for the three-day festival include Elvis Costello, Primal Scream, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Jake Bugg, Rita Ora, Billy Bragg, Rufus Wainwright, Smashing Pumpkins, Portishead, The Lumineers, Alabama Shakes, Chic, Public Enemy, Dinosaur Jr, Johnny Marr, Tom Tom Club, and Kenny Rogers.

The Rolling Stones performed a series of very successful 50th anniversary gigs recently, which included a brief reunion with former member Bill Wyman. As Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings are due to play the acoustic stage at Glastonbury, perhaps another reunion with his former bandmates is on the cards.

Other artists scheduled for acoustic sets at Glastonbury include Stevie Winwood, Sinead O’Connor, The Proclaimers, and the always entertaining KT Tunstall.

Glastonbury is already a sell-out with around 135,000 tickets sold in less that two hours. The television coverage will be the best ever though, with the BBC broadcasting the whole event live.

The complete line-up can be viewed on the Glastonbury website.
