Having a look at the trusty Glastocam shows some people marking out a rather familiar logo in front of the famed Pyramid Stage:
Radiohead have been continually rumoured to be topping the bill at the Worthy Farm event in recent months - guitarist Ed O'Brien made some eye-opening comments recently:
"I mean I go to Glastonbury every year, it's my carnival, to be asked to play at Glastonbury again would be magic. And I also think that Glastonbury for us is kind of like our spiritual home. It is the mother of all festivals, we've been very lucky we've been asked to play festivals all over the world, and there's some many great ones, but there's nothing like that one. Everyone who leaves that Festival you're with our tribe and that's what I feel like. Being in Shangri-La at 3 o'clock in the morning, it doesn't get better than this. When we leave our faith is restored in humanity. You leave, and it's like 'people can be great can't they, people can be absolutely amazing.' So, yeah it will be great to play there."
Radiohead's latest LP, A Moon Shaped Pool, was released earlier this year.
Phil Collins, Daft Punk and The Stone Roses have also been linked with next year's Glastonbury.
