The Rolling Stones are favourites to headline next year's Glastonbury Festival, according to bookmakers William Hill.

The rock veterans are 4/1 favourites ahead of Coldplay and David Bowie who are both at 8/1.

Other interesting odds are Prince at 16/1, Elton John at 16/1, The Stone Roses at 20/1 and Take That at 33/1.

William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said: "We have lost a few quid on the headline act for two years running and it will be interesting to see if punters get it right again."
