10 Artists Who Could Headline Glastonbury 2015

Who could create even more waves next year?

Greg Allen/AP/Press Association ImagesGreg Allen/AP/Press Association ImagesThe build-up to Glastonbury 2014 was dominated first by rumour and counter-rumour about the identity of the headliners, then the novelty of having a metal act in Metallica headline for the first time. William Hill have reported massive amounts of money being placed on the identity of next years' headliners already, which leads us to ask the question: what has Michael Eavis got up his sleeve for us in 2015? Well, we at What Culture love a good rumour game almost as much as we love Glastonbury, so we've compiled a list examining the likelihood of the most mentioned candidates that we'll be raising our hands aloft to next June. Obviously much can change in a year and though Eavis has dropped the odd hint and went as far to say at the time of writing that he has already booked next years' headliners, he has been known to toy with our expectations and deliver the odd red herring too. Expect to see some curveball acts appear in the reckoning between now and the tickets going on sale. It's also worth noting that major acts such as Muse are due to release a record in 2015, and the flirtation with Jay-Z in 2008 means that we may not entirely rule out Eminem or - God forbid - Drake, both of whom will have albums to promote. Let's not forget either, that Radiohead have a reputation for rush-releasing records and are quite fond of Worthy Farm... The following acts are much fancied to be on the bill in 2015; Some were already touted for slots in 2014 but never cemented a place, while others have a big 2015 in store already and seem like a good fit. The odds mentioned for all acts are courtesy of William Hill and are correct at the time of writing but subject to fluctuation. If we've missed any obvious candidates or you've heard a great rumour, let us know in the comments section.
