The Glastonbury Music Festival in the Worthy Farm area of England isn't just good fun for music fans. It also provides fodder for gamblers and bookies. The hottest topic is who will perform a so-called "secret set." Like other music festivals, Glastonbury announces its lineup far in advance, but there always seem to be a few big-name artists that somehow show up for a surprise performance without the social media world leaking it in advance. Bookies have released the odds on what performers will show up this weekend when festivities kick-off. 

The literal best-bet for a secret set is French electronica duo Daft Punk, with 6/4 odds. The robots have shown up for surprise festival stints before, and there's no reason to think they wouldn't do it again. Second most-likely according to bookies is British rock band Beady Eye, the spinoff band of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, with 5/1 odds. Other big names being thrown are David Bowie (6/1) and Queens of The Stone Age (10/1). NME reports: 

"Who has not been to a festival already this year and heard the rumour that Bowie is there, except for Download (a huge British rock festival) perhaps? There will undoubtedly be no change at Glasto, but the odds would suggest there is plenty of weight behind this rumour."

The second potential surprise that's generating speculation is who The Rolling Stones will bring onstage for their (scheduled) headline slot. The band filled the stage with guests such as Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Dave Grohl for their American tour, so why wouldn't they do the same here? 

Guitarist Jeff Beck is the main contender at 4/7 odds. That seems logical as Beck is an icon in England, the second best native guitarist behind Eric Clapton (and that's a subject worth debate), plus Beck has a hole in his tour schedule that fits the spot perfectly. Bruce Springsteen is also an option (at 11/10 odds) as his tour heads to Ireland. Adele has long been a popular theory as a Stones guest (she didn't perform with them at their Hyde Park show as originally predicted) and, what do you know, Bowie shows up as an option again with 10/1 odds.
