Could they? Should they? Would they? It's yet to be confirmed, but it seems that Glastonbury is eyeing up the Rolling Stones to headline the Glastonbury Festival 2013, and coincide with the 50th anniversary of one of the world's biggest rock bands.
Which would certainly prove to be quite a pull for many of the festival's older generation - although selling tickets when you're Glastonbury is decidedly easier than any other festival. And it would certainly be quite a way for the band to celebrate 50 years at the top of the musical world.
The band have already confirmed that they will be playing two one-off shows - one in London and one in New York - as part of their birthday celebrations, and Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis is desperate to add them to this year's line-up.
"Michael Eavis is desperate to get the band confirmed and has made initial contact with their people" a source told The Sun, adding that "It would be a massive coup to get the band playing at Glastonbury on what could be their last round of live dates".
The past few months have proven to be busy ones for the aged rockers, with the release of their intriguingly titled, latest, greatest hits album 'GRRR' at the end of 2012. They have also just released a new single in January 2013 called 'Doom and Gloom' which many critics have hailed as one of the best releases in many years.
The tickets for Glastonbury 2013 went on sale last Sunday morning at 9am, and immediately all customers who had previously pre-registered for the opportunity to purchase a ticket jammed the phone lines until all tickets were sold out in just 1 hour and 40 minutes - a record time for the festival.
Father and daughter duo Michael and Emily Eavis - the festival's organisers - said that they were 'genuinely humbled by the sheer number of people who wanted to go', but that 'demand simply outstripped supply' after posting on Twitter that tickets had sold out, shortly after going on sale.
So it is clear that whether the Rolling Stones are confirmed for the festival or not, there will be enough interest to ignite everyone's passion and appeal to aficionados of all persuasions regardless. But it certainly would be fitting for the band who have re-written the rules of music so many times to play Glastonbury for the first time on their fiftieth anniversary.
