Already self confirmed for the bash are The Coral, who confirmed in November through their Twitter account. Fatboy Slim also confirmed an appearance immediately after his 2010 performance too. Other strong rumours include Kylie Minogue on the Pyramid Stage, as she was infamously booked in 2005 to close the Sunday before pulling out.
The reformed Pulp seem certainties to make a headline appearance across the weekend. The band played a vintage set in 1995 and their reform is likely to be due to a set booked at Glastonbury.
U2 have been rumoured to make a headline appearance this year after missing their 2010 slot due to Bono's back injury, however a secret slot appears more likely. Whether they do appear as headliners or with a secret appearance, I'd bet my entire treasured back catalogue of Nirvana on U2 making some sort of appearance at Glastonbury next year.
Other names that have been thrown into the mix include Prince,Coldplay and The Foo Fighters, however none are likely to appear as headliners across the weekend. The Rolling Stones seem a promising prospect, with Ronnie Wood stating earlier this month that 'He'd love to do it'. Glastonbury is always welcoming to bands from the yesteryear, so seeing The Stones headlining wouldn't surprise any fans of the festival.
Take That are one band who have confirmed they will not be appearing, with Gary Barlow stating 'I don't think it's possible' due to the size of the production of their show.
Here are some of other names rumoured to be appearing:
Beyonce, Radiohead, Daft Punk, Paolo Nutini, The Strokes, Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Lady GaGa, The Libertines, Kings of Leon, Red Hot Chili Peppers, David Bowie, Arcade Fire, Rage Against the Machine, Led Zeppelin (again) and The White Stripes.
