Final Glastonbury headliner is "one of the biggest-selling bands in the world"

The final Glastonbury Festival headliner is currently "one of the biggest-selling bands in the world".

Arcade Fire and Kasabian are due to top the Worthy Farm bill this year, but the Saturday headliner has yet to be confirmed.

Speaking to the Bristol Post, organiser Michael Eavis - who is hosting the event over June 27-29 - said that the final headliner is one of the most popular acts around at the moment.

He said: "We are expecting to announce the full lineup at the beginning of May and everything is now in place.

"We are more than happy with the calibre of the acts and the headliner on Saturday will be one of the biggest-selling bands in the world at the moment."

Some of the acts who are rumoured for the slot include Metallica and Daft Punk.

Speaking meanwhile about the already dismissed rumours of Oasis playing the festival, Eavis said:

"The Oasis thing had nothing to do with us, we hadn't even considered asking them. They have played at the festival three or four times and they are a great band. They were not that well-known the first time they played here, but they were a great band even then.

"I am not sure that Noel is ready to go back on the road with Oasis because he has his own band at the moment. I think if it were to happen and they did come back to Glastonbury, it would probably be in four or five years' time - I can't see it happening before then."
