The odds of Stormzy headlining Glastonbury have just tumbled

The odds on Stormzy headlining 2019’s Glastonbury Festival have been slashed by bookmaker Betway.

The reveal follows the grime MC updating his Insta Story with a post mimicking Noel Gallagher’s famed 2008 quote “No, I’m not havin hip hop at Glastonbury. F***in no chance” – this led to the online bookie taking measures to shorten their offering of the star being booked for Worthy Farm in 2019.

Kendrick Lamar, just 4/5 before the latest odds shift, has been pushed out to 6/5 but still tops the betting, ahead of 9/4-chance Elton John and 5/2-shot Kylie Minogue.

Betway’s Alan Alger said: “The smallest hint on social media can send odds plummeting these days and Stormzy’s latest post has left us receiving a wave of betting interest and we’ve had to cut his odds from 10/1 to 7/2. Emily Eavis has branched out into different genre’s recently to keep Glasto fresh and Stormzy might just be the man to provide something a bit different to next year’s show. As things stand, the odds suggest the headliners in 2019 for Friday to Sunday will be Kendrick Lamar, 6/5, Elton John, 9/4, and Kylie Minogue at 5/2, but Stormzy is well in contention at 7/2, while the Artic Monkeys and Fleetwood Mac could add a more authentic rock feel to the festival at 9/2.”
