The Rolling Stones were named today as the favorite bookies to become the headliner for the Glastonbury Festival next year. Though none of the acts will be officially announced until next year, Rolling Stone tickets as well as hte event tickets were sold out within hours of sale, allowing bookmakers and fans to debate as to who will become the opening and closing acts of the show. “We have lost a few quid on the headline act for two years running and it will be interesting to see if punters get it right again,” William Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams said. According to NME, Bookmakers have The Rolling Stones as 4/1 favorites for the headlining acts of the Sunday night bil, with Coldplay and David Bowie joint second favorites at 8/1. Here are the odds:
Rolling Stones 4/1
Coldplay 8/1
David Bowie 8/1
Muse 10/1
U2 12/1
Arctic Monkeys 12/1
Radiohead 14/1
