Could they? Should they? Would they? It's yet to be confirmed, but it seems that Glastonbury is eyeing up the Rolling Stones to headline the Glastonbury Festival 2013, and coincide with the 50th anniversary of one of the world's biggest rock bands.
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.
Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis is certainly eager to confirm the band as soon as possible, with a source revealing that "Michael is desperate to have the band confirmed for this year's festival and had made contact with their people."
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.
Tickets for this year's festival at Worthy Farm sold out in a record time of 1 hour 40 minutes after going on sale at 9am on Sunday morning, leaving millions of fans disappointed and unable to get tickets - despite the fact that no acts have yet been confirmed for the festival!
Father and daughter duo Michael and Emily Eavis - the festival's organisers - said that they were 'genuinely humbled by the sheer number of people who wanted to go', but that 'demand simply outstripped supply' after posting on Twitter that tickets had sold out, shortly after going on sale.
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.
