Kanye West bookies' favourite to headline Glastonbury

16 March 2015, 14:38 | Written by Laurence Day

It seems like Kanye West might be taking one of the remaining two headline slots at this year's Glastonbury.

Over the past weekend, bookies saw odds grow from 12/1 to 2/1, before they were forced to suspend bets.

Given that he's set to drop a new LP, titled So Help Me God, in the near future, it doesn't seem unlikely that the he might grace the Pyramid Stage.

Leading betting establishment Paddy Power commented on the likelihood: “It looks as though it will be Kanye to touch the sky at Glastonbury this year as the welly-weaing crowd are flashing lights”

Currently, Foo Fighters, Courtney Barnett, Father John Misty and Lionel Richie (and the Dalai Lama) have all been officially confirmed for the Worthy Farm festival this June.

The Western Gazette also reckons that two bickering brothers may reunite: "An Oasis reunion is now being hotly tipped to fill the Sunday night headline slot..."

According to the paper Elton John, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Blur are also potential bill-toppers.

Earlier this month, Kanye strolled on down to KOKO for a surprise show, and we managed to catch the spectacle - head here to get our verdict.

Watch Kanye's performance of new single "All Day" at this year's BRIT Awards below.
