With no Glastonbury Festival this year as the event takes a break to give Worthy Farm a chance to recover, punters are already looking ahead to the 2019 edition. Every six years Michael and Emily Eavis, the Festival organisers, give the land a year off. This is in order to give the land a break because every year that the festival is held, the land has to undergo radical chances to host the event, from its usual duties of being a working dairy farm.
It is amazing just what one comment can mean for punters and their money. After the Eavis’s claim that they want to bring big surprises to the lineup when the Festival returns in 2019, along with artists who have never before player there, punters have flocked to back Madonna to be the headlining act next year at 1/5 odds* (betting odds taken from Ladbrokes at 7:22 pm on July 2nd, 2018).
Madonna has never before played Glastonbury and punters think that she fits the bill perfectly to be the star of the Pyramid Stage. Kendrick Lamar has also taken the fancy of punters along with Elton John who ticks the boxes of a surprise package and someone who has never performed before at the Festivals.
WHO WILL HEADLINE GLASTONBURY 2019?
1/5 Madonna
1/4 Kendrick Lamar
1/2 Elton John
2/1 Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac who have gotten together for a 2018 Tour have also piqued some interest in the market and despite a lot of previous interest in them showing up and performing at the famous festival, they have actually never made it there. The Arctic Monkeys who released a 2018 album are 4/1 odds* (betting odds taken at 7:22 pm on July 2nd, 2018) to be the headlining act.
