The Rolling Stones may headline next year's Glastonbury Festival, according to reports.

The legendary band have never performed at the long-running music festival, but they are tipped to play their one and only gig at Worthy Farm in 2013, according to The Mirror.



Sources close to the band claim that the Glastonbury show will be the last of a "handful" of shows planned for 2013.

As 2013 marks their 50th anniversary, the show would provide a perfect platform for the band's last ever live gig together before retiring, the insider claims.

The source said: "All four members have agreed that next year is the right time to have one final hurrah and put on the gig of their lives. It's a case of now or never, and obviously Glastonbury is the most important festival on the circuit. Everybody's incredibly excited... it's a final bow."

Bassist Ronnie Wood recently hinted that the band may embark on a tour in October and November this year.

The Rolling Stones have also announced plans to celebrate their 50th anniversary with a new documentary about their long career together.
