Michael Eavis has reportedly revealed that the final yet-to-be announced headline act for this year’s Glastonbury festival will “most likely” be British and will consist of two individuals.

Festival-goers remain in the dark about who will take the often career-defining Sunday slot on the Pyramid Stage which was last year given to Leicester rock band Kasabian.

Speaking at an event at the Victoria & Albert museum the Somerset festival founder told attendees that the next lineup announcement will be on 1 June and that it will be “a big one”.

In response to a request for more clues about the final headliner, who will join Kanye West and Foo Fighters at the top of the bill, Eavis revealed it will be two acts, rather than one, and that the artists will be “most likely British”.

Speculation is already rife that David Bowie will be one of the undisclosed “special guests” joining the Foos on stage, but this news has instead fuelled suggestions that the Starman might appear with another legendary artist. Mick Jagger perhaps? Or Sting? Following the latter’s tour with Paul Simon he has proven he is far from averse to joining forces with a performer of equal status.

“We’re not revealing who it is until 1 June,” a Glastonbury spokesman told The Independent.

Eavis also reportedly revealed that Coldplay’s Chris Martin “was involved” with the as yet undisclosed Sunday night headliner, according to efestivals, but co-organiser Emily Eavis has previously ruled them out of performing.

She also recently quashed rumours that music legend Prince was due to perform but had pulled out, saying: “Tabloid reports today about Prince playing or pulling out are unfounded and completely untrue. We'll unveil all the stages soon!”

Michael Eavis is in London today to unveil a First Great Western train named after him at Paddington station.

The festival logo will also feature on the high speed train, which will run between London and South Wales and the South West.

The festival founder has also recorded the platform announcement so his voice will directly welcome festival-goers arriving in Castle Cary who may have caught the Michael Eavis.

Those attempting a last-chance bid for tickets to this year’s festival on Sunday may have been left disappointed as they were snapped up in record time.

Emily Eavis revealed 77,000 followers on Twitter: “All the resale tickets have gone in 11 minutes, that's our fastest ever resale time! Thanks to everyone and sorry to those who missed out.”

This year’s festival will be taking place between 24 – 28 June at Worthy Farm near Pilton with Pharrell Williams, Florence and the Machine and Patti Smith among the lineup.

As usual the festival will provide its audience with an eclectic mix of artists, with RnB singer Mary J Blige and hard rock pioneers Motörhead both making their first appearances at the Somerset dairy farm.

Motown singer Lionel Richie and jazz singer Gregory Porter, Nineties favourites Suede, The Vaccines, The Maccabees and Alt-J are also set to perform.

The Foos will play the Pyramid stage on Friday night with Kanye taking Saturday night’s headline slot. Sunday night’s headline double-act will be revealed on 1 June.
