Fresh from her… hmmm… “unusual” performance at the MTV VMAs over the weekend, Miley Cyrus has been named a potential candidate to peform at next year’s Glastonbury festival.
Yup, we’re still scrubbing the mud off ourselves from this year, but already talk has turned to 2016…
According to The Sun, Miley is in talks with organisers Michael and Emily Eavis to perform on Glastonbury’s legendary Pyramid Stage next year, which would mark her debut at the festival.
“She’s outrageous and there was interest in previous years, around the time of her Bangerz tour last year and when her godmother Dolly Parton played the Pyramid.”
It’s also been suggested that she could take to the stage with The Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne, who she collaborated with on most of the tracks from her latest album.

Wayne Coyne and Miley
Miley surprised fans by releasing the collection, titled ‘Miley Cyrus And Her Dead Petz’, for free on Sunday night, following her stint hosting the VMAs.
She also performed the lead single, ‘Dooo It’, at the ceremony, taking to the stage with several notable drag performers from the hit series, ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’.
Dave Grohl and his band were forced to pull out of the festival in 2015, and Dave promised to make it up to fans - what better way to do it than to headline in 2016? Likelihood: 3.5/5. (credit:Barry Brecheisen/Invision/AP)

Following the release of 'What Went Down', Yannis Philippakis's band are bigger than ever, and it's definitely time for them to step up to the plate. Well, Pyramid. Florence Welch has already proven that you don't need to be a HUGE star to pull a giant crowd, and Arctic Monkeys have also had no problems in impressing the crowds while headlining. Likelihood: 4/5.

Fans have been calling for the band to play the festival for years now and with Christine McVie back in the group, the time's never been better. Sadly, the rockers turned down Michael Eavis in 2015, choosing Isle Of Wight festival instead (and taking home a heap load of cash in the process). Likelihood: 3/5. (credit:Jim Ross/Invision/AP)
Rihanna(04 of12)

RiRi did have a huge Glastonbury-shaped gap in her 'Anti' world tour schedule - that was until she had to reschedule most of the UK dates, which seemingly rule her out of this year's festival. Likelihood: 1/5. (credit:Joel Ryan/AP)

Adele has staged the music comeback of the century, and while she's always been adamant that headlining Glastonbury isn't on her to-do list, the festival's booker has said they're in "final talks" with the star. Likelihood: 2.5/5. (Please do it, Adele. Thanks) (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)

And you thought Kanye was a controversial choice, eh? According to reports, Miley could be making her Glastonbury debut, showcasing her latest 'Dead Petz' project with The Flaming Lips' frontman Wayne Coyne. Likelihood: To headline? 1/5. To appear at some point and twerk furiously? 4/5. (credit:Owen Sweeney/Invision/AP)

Kylie was originally booked to headline in 2005, but was forced to cancel after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Having proved that she’s still got what it takes at her 2015 Hyde Park gig, we reckon it's time for her to play the set she never had the chance to.Likelihood: 2/5. (credit:Tim Edwards/WENN.com)

The robotic duo would be the perfect Friday night act to whip the festival up into a frenzy ready for two more days of music. Glastonbury 2013 took place under a fog of (sadly untrue) rumours that the french stars would be staging a secret set, will 2016 be their year? Likelihood: 1.5/5. (credit:Zach Cordner/Invision/AP)

As her world domination continues, surely the next logical step for Queen Taylor is the Pyramid Stage?Likelihood: 2/5. (credit:KGC-138/STAR MAX/IPx)

Rod and Ronnie briefly reunited in September 2015, and Rod later stated he'd get the band back together - but only if Glastonbury came calling. But are they suitable headliners? We're not so sure... Likelihood: 1/5. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
