I've spent over 20 years inside the betting industry. I'll guide you to avoid the hype, ignore the noise, and steer clear of the common pitfalls that catch out everyday punters.
- 2 Headliners to be added after Billie Eilish already confirmed
- Better than 85% chance Aerosmith will take one spot according to bookies
- Taylor Swift or Elton John are short odds on betting sites
- Unlikely to be Abba given cost of the holographic show, but bookmakers have them as 12/1 shots
Billie Eilish has been confirmed as one of the three headliners acts at the Glastonbury Festival 2022, now, betting sites are offering odds on who will fill the other two spots.
The Glastonbury headliner betting is dominated by 80's Rock stars Aerosmith, who are as short as 1/7 to be named, whilst next best in the betting are Taylor Swift with a 66% chance and Elton John and Diana Ross fighting for the nostalgia spot!!
Glastonbury Headliner 2022 Betting Odds
| Act | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Aerosmith | 1/7 | 87.49% |
| Taylor Swift | 1/2 | 66.67% |
| Diana Ross | 4/5 | 55.56% |
| Elton John | 2/1 | 33.33% |
| Kendrick Lemar | 2/1 | 33.33% |
| Queens of the Stone Age | 3/1 | 25% |
| Coldplay | 6/1 | 14.29% |
| Lady Gaga | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Fleetwood Mac | 8/1 | 11.11% |
| ABBA | 12/1 | 7.69% |
Who else is in the running?
Whilst it looks a done deal on Aerosmith taking the second headliner spot for the festival, things are a little more competitive for the third and final spot with a mix of youth and experience on hand.
Diana Ross is available after the cancellation of her tour and would be a huge hit at the Festival for sure. Even though she is odds on 4/5 with a 55% chance, Taylor Swift is ahead of her in the betting at 1/2 betting odds representing a bigger 66% chance of appearing
Elton John would be massive and could be helped in grabbing the final spot if Diana Ross or Taylor Swift are in.
The Rocket Man is given odds of just 2/1 to appear and would be hugely popular after the biopic film of his life and career introduced him to a much wider audience in recent years.
ABBA could not appear in person
ABBA are of course headlining their own new tour after 40 years of pop wilderness, but in a modern twist will not personally perform at their concerts having already pre-recorded the shows which will be presented as holographic images in the tour venues.
The probable cost of setting this up for Glastonbury, perhaps there are other technical difficulties we wouldn't know about, may be prohibitive, and whilst they would be a HUGE WIN for the event, the bookmakers agree it is unlikely offering big odds of 12% and just a 7% chance that they will grab the gig, even if offered.
They do have a Christmas single on their new album, the first they have ever recorded and are considered for Christmas Number One Betting though.
