The as-yet-unannounced third headlining act of Glastonbury 2014 are “one of the biggest-selling bands in the world”, festival organiser Michael Eavis has revealed.
The Glastonbury founder dropped the hint after responding to questions about the ongoing speculation surrounding Oasis’s rumoured reunion at the weekend-long event, which Michael’s daughter Emily Eavis has already denied.
Speaking to Bristol Post, Michael Eavis said the third headliner is “one of the biggest-selling bands in the world at the moment”, and that it would mark the first time that the band has played at the festival.
He added: “We are expecting to announce the full line-up 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.”
Eavis also made his personal thoughts on the Oasis rumours clear, saying: “The Oasis thing had nothing to do with us, we hadn’t even considered asking them. They’ve played at the festival three or four times and they’re a great band. They were not that well known the first time they played here but they were a great band even then.
“I’m 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.”
