It may be nothing more than Hear-say and conjecture thus far, but, if reports are to be believed, Glastonbury looks set to welcome the Rolling Stones for the first time to headline this year's festival, in conjunction with their 50 year anniversary.
Whether you think they're the best thing since sliced bread or the most out-dated thing since the wireless, it is impossible to deny their appeal - an appeal which has seen them riding high as one of the world's biggest bands for 50 years. Quite an achievement indeed.
But it seems that even someone with the appeal and gravitas of Michael Eavis is struggling to get any kind of confirmation from the band, who have only so far confirmed two live dates for the year, in New York & London.
"Michael Eavis is desperate to get the band confirmed and has made initial contact with their people" a source told The Sun, adding that "It would be a massive coup to get the band playing at Glastonbury on what could be their last round of live dates".
The past few months have proven to be busy ones for the aged rockers, with the release of their intriguingly titled, latest, greatest hits album 'GRRR' at the end of 2012. They have also just released a new single in January 2013 called 'Doom and Gloom' which many critics have hailed as one of the best releases in many years.
The tickets for Glastonbury 2013 went on sale last Sunday morning at 9am, and immediately all customers who had previously pre-registered for the opportunity to purchase a ticket jammed the phone lines until all tickets were sold out in just 1 hour and 40 minutes - a record time for the festival.
As soon as the tickets had sold out, Michael and Emily Eavis posted on Twitter that the demand simply outstripped the supply, and that they were genuinely humbled by the response. And all of this furour before a single act has been confirmed for the three day festival - a stunning achievement.
Regardless as to whether or not the band are confirmed as this year's headliners, the public have once again shown that the appeal of the festival has little to do with who the main acts are - a truly unique position to be in, and one which all other festivals would die for.
