Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis has revealed that the three 2014 headliners are bands who have never played at the festival before.
Speaking at the AIM Awards on September 3, Eavis told NME: "Next year's headliners are more or less in place. They're three bands who haven't played Glastonbury, and that's important. There aren't many bands left who haven't played the festival, and before we run out I'd like to persuade the ones on my wish list to come down. I think I've managed that with these three."
Glastonbury 2013 hosted an incredible headline set from the Rolling Stones, who performed at the festival for the first time in their 50-year career. A tough act to follow.
"It'll be very difficult to repeat what we did this year. You don't top the Rolling Stones, do you?" Eavis admitted. "The whole festival was perfect - even the weather. That was pure magic. But we're not going to give up trying to make the next one better. I've a team of about 20 people who book the young musicians and I look after booking the headliners. That's such a privilege and I hope I've done a worthwhile job if these three bands are confirmed. I hope to do that soon."
Glastonbury 2014 is scheduled for June 27 to 29 and tickets go on sale at some point next month. Top of the list of rumoured headliners is Daft Punk and Fleetwood Mac.
