After a much-anticipated wait, Glastonbury Festival's lineup announcement appears to be imminent. With just three months to go until the gates open at Worthy Farm, speculation over who will be headlining the UK's largest music festival has reached fever pitch.

As Glastonbury headliner rumours continue to circulate, betting sites have weighed in to give fans an idea of who they could expect to see closing out the festival this year. Rihanna is the latest favourite to close the Pyramid Stage on Sunday night at this year’s Glastonbury Festival while Adele is being tipped for a slot ahead of her string of Munich Open Air Arena shows.

Stevie Wonder was previously the outright favourite to be awarded a headline slot along with Madonna, but reports suggest talks have broken down with festival organisers to book the legendary singers.

But who else is being backed to headline Glastonbury this year? We've teamed up with the online betting site, Bet Ideas, to bring you the odds.

Here's everything you need to know.

Glastonbury Festival 2024 headliner odds

Rihanna - 7/2

After talks with Madonna and Stevie Wonder reportedly broke down, Rihanna quickly became the odds-on favourite to take the Sunday headliner slot. The pop superstar was reportedly booked to headline last year's edition of the iconic music festival but had to drop out after becoming pregnant with her second child with A$AP Rocky.

Additionally, Rihanna hasn't refrained from talking about the UK festival in past and even put her name in the ring back in 2011. Speaking to the now-defunct Q Magazine, Riri said: "I'd love to play Glastonbury," adding: "I think I could rock the stage at Glastonbury, no question."

Bruce Springsteen - 5/1

The Boss, who topped the bill with an epic set in 2009, is set to be playing shows in Europe come June so it's possible he's a shoo-in for a Glasto appearance. While he is the second favourite to take a headline slot, Springsteen is set to play two nights in Holland during the Glastonbury weekend.

So an entire set is unlikely, but it doesn't rule out dropping in for a guest appearance. Stranger things have happened.

Eminem - 11/2

Eminem is a name that gets floated about every time the conversation around Glastonbury headliners comes around, so you can't blame bookmakers for not having him at the top. That being said, the US rapper is bound to make his debut Glasto appearance one day, especially after the strong rumours linking him with a headline slot last year failed to materialise.

P!nk - 8/1

Fans were disappointed when P!nk wasn't confirmed to headline Glastonbury in 2019 after her UK tour coincided with the festival dates, but the stars are aligning once again. The global icon will be playing two consecutive nights at Glasgow's Hampden Park on June 28 and 29, leaving her free to headline the Sunday night.

Adele - 12/1

Adele has played Glastonbury twice in her career, and Bet Ideas has currently priced her as an outsider to give fans another spectacular showing. The pop sensation has a busy schedule for 2024 filled with residency slots in Las Vegas and Munich but there's always time for a stop at the farm... right?

Beyonce - 14/1

In 2011, Beyonce became the first solo Black woman to headline the Pyramid Stage and the first woman to headline the festival in 20 years. With over a decade passing since that memorable performance, Queen B is once again being backed to top the bill.

The Single Ladies hitmaker will be releasing a follow-up album to her award-winning LP Renaissance, on March 29. So, with a setlist full of new material and an empty touring schedule to fill, Glastonbury could be on the cards.
