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.
Which would certainly prove to be quite a pull for many of the festival's older generation - although selling tickets when you're Glastonbury is decidedly easier than any other festival. And it would certainly be quite a way for the band to celebrate 50 years at the top of the musical world.
But thus far the band have remained silent about their plans for the coming year, aside from announcing that they are set to play two shows - one each in New York and London - to mark their birthday celebrations.
Michael is a huge Rolling Stones fan and is eager to add them to this years bill. a source revealed that "Michael is very keen to confirm the band, and has made contact with them... It would be incredible if they could add Glastonbury to this year's schedule".
The band have had a busy few months, releasing a greatest hits album entitled 'GRRR' at the end of last year, followed by a brand new track called 'Doom and Gloom' which was released in January 2013 - indicating that an announcement of future live dates could be just around the corner.
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.
So it is clear that whether the Rolling Stones are confirmed for the festival or not, there will be enough interest to ignite everyone's passion and appeal to aficionados of all persuasions regardless. But it certainly would be fitting for the band who have re-written the rules of music so many times to play Glastonbury for the first time on their fiftieth anniversary.
