Metallica tipped to headline Glasto

A tip by Glastonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis as to the Sunday Headliner at Glastonbury has set the rumour mill into full swing.

Eavis, who launched the world famous festival on his farm in 1971, told a British newspaper that the headliner would be "one of the biggest-selling bands in the world at the moment", and added that the band would be making their first appearance at Worthy Farm.

Going on that criteria, Metallica have become the clear favourite to top the bill at Glasto 2014.

Other contenders

It would seem to rule out Artic Monkeys, David Bowie and Oasis (despite Liam Gallagher's cryptic tweets) who've all headlined before as well as Kate Bush, Prince and Fleetwood Mac who aren't particularly high-flying in sales these days. 

Those that may fit the bill would be the mouth-watering prospect of Daft Punk and the potentially controversial choice of One Direction.

Arcade Fire - Kasabian - Dolly Parton - Jack White - Elbow - The Black Keys - Robert Plant - Lily Allen - Lana Del Rey - Skrillex - Pixies - Massive Attack - Disclosure - Paolo Nutini - Manic Street Preachers - MIA - Rudimental - Bryan Ferry - Richie Hawtin - Ed Sheeran - De La Soul - Goldfrapp - London Grammar - MGMT - Jake Bugg - Jurassic 5 - Dexys - Above & Beyond - The 1975 - Bonobo - Kelis - Blondie - Warpaint - The Wailers - Wilko Johnson - James Blake - Gorgon City - Metronomy - Tinariwe - Chvrches - Little Dragon - Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 - Kodaline - Interpol - Foster the People - Mogwai - Royal Blood - John Grant - Annie Mac - Lil Louis - Daptone Super Soul Revue - John Newman - Chromeo - Rodrigo Y Gabriela - Midlake - Angel Haze - Four Tet - ESG - The Sun Ra Arkestra - François Kevorkian - Parquet Courts - Sam Smith - Crystal Fighters - Nitin Sawhney - DJ Pierre - Toumani & Sidiki Diabate - Chance the Rapper -MNEK - Temples - Phosphorescent - Connan Mockasin - Public Service Broadcasting - Courtney Barnett - Gorgon City - Wolf Alice - Radiophonic Workshop - Suzanne Vega - Tune-Yards - Eats Everything - Jamie xx - Ms Dynamite - Breach - Chlöe Howl - Jagwar Ma - Danny Brown
