The creator of Glastonbury has said that the headliners for the 2014 festival have been picked, and none of them have ever played the festival before on any stage.
Who could that possibly be? I'm really stumped. The only plausible act I can think of that's big enough to headline who definitely has never performed there before is Rihanna, which I'm sure would cause controversy.
Any suggestions?

And before anyone tries to come in with ''she wouldn't suit a rock festival'' or whatever - she did a killer set at Coachella in 2006, downsizing the Confessions Tour but bringing the good stuff.
Bowie? Oops, he's done it already. I'm shocking at this TBH.
I think he said they're over Kylie.
oooooh what is kylies unfinished business?
She was due to headline Glastonbury in 2005 but was diagnosed with breast cancer so had to pull out.
It was reported in the press a few years back that Michael Eavis, the founder of Glastonbury, said that he was over the idea of Kylie headlining the festival. He has said on numerous occasions since then that his words were taken out of context and he didn't actually say he was over her. She was great performing with the Scissor Sisters back in 2010. Maybe she'll finally get to headline one day.
Fleetwood Mac would be great.
Although not a huge fan of pop acts headlining festivals, I think Kylie would do an amazing job of headling Glastonbury! Katy Perry could be another outside bet maybe? I hope it isn't Rihanna or Lady Gaga though!
Original Glasto headliner rumours were Fleetwood Mac, Depeche Mode and Elbow - 2 of which I don't think have played before, so that would just rule out Elbow. Unless Eavis has got confused and meant to say acts who have never headlined before??
Edit: Really, really can't see the likes of GaGa or Katy Perry headlining.
Why not just invite Il Divo and be done with it? There's a reason why T4 on the beach exists.
Of course they have every right to be at Glastonbury.
Its not The Glastonbury Festival of My Music Is Cooler Than Your Music.
Its The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts.
If that's the case then they can stay well away from the pyramid. Bands are the only ones capable of packing a field of over 80,000.
The White Stripes were incredible headliners a few years ago. Guitar and drums.
And everyone said Moby wasn't Pyramid headline material, but pretty much nailed it.
Ditto Jay Z.
Oasis, headliners in 2004 sucked big style.
And yes, I was there for all of them.
If anything should stay away from Glastonbury, its music snobbery.
Madonna, Lady Gaga and Beyonce are bands now then. OK.
Perhaps Madge could sign herself up for the Capital FM summertime ball?
Actually T4 on the Beach DOESN'T exist anymore...
Beyoncé headlined Glastonbury, so I don't really see why other pop acts wouldn't. I would prefer more rock headliners personally, but I do think that Kylie, Pink or Katy Perry would put on a good performance. Lady Gaga takes herself far too seriously and wouldn't be so much fun IMO, and Rihanna is too overexposed. Those are just my opinions though and I expect any of those would draw a crowd.
Another 'out of the box' suggestion: how about Metallica?
