Odds for Oasis to headline the 2014 bash have been cut significantly by national bookmakers after a string of bets were placed for the Manchester band.
Bookmakers Paddy Power have revealed that prior to this week, Oasis were 16/1 to headline next years event, but after a flurry of bets, that has now dropped to 9/1 to headline saturday night on the Pyramid Stage. 2014 would mark the 20th Anniversary of the bands debut album, Definitely Maybe.
Paddy Power claimed this week “We’ve seen a lot of money being placed on Noel and Liam burying the hatchet, reforming and rocking Glastonbury”.
Liam’s new band, Beady Eye, released their second studio album BE this June to mostly positive reviews. The band is formed of Ex-Oasis members Gem Archer and Andy Bell and have headlined festivals across Europe this summer including Spain’s Benicassim Festival.
Speculation has been mounting for an Oasis reunion tour in 2015 to mark the release of their most successful album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? which was released in 1995. The album famously won the Best British Album of the Last 30 Years at the 2010 Brit Awards where Liam thanked Ex-Oasis bandmates, before throwing the award into the crowd to thank fans.
Oasis still remain an outsider to headline the Pyramid Stage in 2014 with Foo Fighters currently the favourites at 4/1, according to Paddy Power. David Bowie, Daft Punk and Kasabian are all priced at 8/1 with Oasis and Elbow out at 9’s.
However, Canadian rockers Arcade Fire are yet to be priced by Paddy Power but with a new album out on October 29th, a headline slot at Glastonbury can’t be too far away.
