Gossip started to circulate after the  showing the festival grounds - with eagle-eyed Glasto-goers spotting two men painting the “angry bear” symbol onto the grass on Wednesday afternoon.

This will be the band’s third time headlining the Pyramid Stage following previous headline appearances in 1997 and 2003.

There have been plenty of 2017 headliner rumours already, including Daft Punk and The Stone Roses but the strange pattern is being mooted as the first possible confirmation of 2017's line-up.

Ed Said: “I go to Glastonbury every year, it's my carnival.

“To be asked to play at Glastonbury again would be magic. I also think Glastonbury is like our spiritual home. It is the mother of all festivals.

“There is nothing like that one… it would be great to play there.”
