Bookmakers Paddy Power have made Metallica the new favourites to headline this year’s Glastonbury Festival.

With Arcade Fire signed up to top the Pyramid Stage on Friday, June 27th as ever there’s been fevered speculation as to who will join the Canadian band; Fleetwood Mac have been strongly tipped for some time, as has Prince who is now 5/4 joint favourite with Metallica. In addition, earlier this month William Hill suspended betting on Kasabian being named as one of the 2014 headliners.

Lars Ulrich has in the recent past spoken of Metallica’s desire to play Glastonbury, telling MTV: “Every year there’s probably less chance of us doing it than the previous year, but it just looks like it would be a fun night out. “We’ve been fortunate enough to play every other festival on this planet numerous times, so Glastonbury is the only one that’s eluding us.”

Glastonbury 2014 sold out in record time last October after well over 100,000 tickets were snapped up within one-and-a-half hours.
