Michael Eavis has said that he is sure David Bowie could headline Glastonbury again.

The singer is being strongly tipped to play the 2014 event, having previously headlined the festival in 1971 and 2000.

Speaking to the Central Somerset Gazette, Eavis said: โ€œThe younger ones sort out most of the music, but I like to book the headline namesโ€ฆI canโ€™t tell you at the moment who that will be as weโ€™re still talking to people. Davidโ€™s done it a couple of times before but Iโ€™m sure he could come back again.โ€

Last month, Eavis confirmed that he has already booked three headliners for next yearโ€™s festival, but refused to name any, saying that the bands would only be announced once tickets were on sale. Eavis said that picking headliners is difficult because โ€œthere arenโ€™t many leftโ€ฆThere were maybe a dozen headliner potentials so weโ€™re running out of headliners but weโ€™ve got the last three for next yearโ€. This yearโ€™s event was headlined by Arctic Monkeys, The Rolling Stones and Mumford & Sons.
