Glastonbury 2020: Kendrick Lamar becomes bookies' favourite to headline festival

Kendrick Lamar has become the bookies' favourite to headline Glastonbury during its 50th anniversary next year.

With only a handful of artists confirmed to perform so far, speculation has been rife among festival fans as to who will perform on the famous Pyramid Stage.

Sky Bet has now named Grammy Award-winning artist Kendrick Lamar as the favourite to headline, with odds of 1/2.

Taylor Swift is considered second-most likely for a headliner slot, with odds of 4/7.

Other artists who have cracked the top 10 include Paul McCartney, Foals, Fleetwood Mac and the 1975.

Festival organiser Emily Eavis recently dropped a few massive hints about what to expect from next year's line-up.

She reportedly said: "Two of the Glastonbury Pyramid headliners have not done the festival before."

Music icon Diana Ross was confirmed as the Sunday legends slot last month while Michael Eavis confirmed in August London-based band Wolf Alice would be performing.
