Foo Fighters to play a ‘secret set’ at Glastonbury. All details

Foo Fighters are set to make a triumphant return to Glastonbury this summer, six years after their last headline performance at the iconic festival. The award-winning US rock band was spotted backstage, setting up for their surprise set as the festival's secret act.

Lead vocalist Dave Grohl was reported to be preparing for the performance on the Pyramid stage, scheduled to take place shortly before or after the headline set by the Arctic Monkeys. Prior to the appearance, it was reported that the band had booked several rooms in a hotel near Worthy Farm, nearby festival’s venue.

The third day of the festival will also feature a diverse lineup — including film screenings, theatre performances and a debate "Solidarity With Iran," featuring British-Iranian charity worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. The Master Musicians of Joujouka will kick off the main stage performances, followed by artists, such as Maisie Peters, Stefflon Don and Texas.


The anticipation for Glastonbury's closing night is particularly high as Sir Elton John is set to perform in what has been billed as the final UK show of his farewell tour. Co-organizer Emily Eavis expressed her excitement about Elton's long-awaited first performance at Glastonbury. “So I think that’s going to be really, really spectacular and a very special moment for everybody,” she expressed.

Now, fans eagerly await the Foo Fighters’s return and Sir Elton John's grand finale on Sunday night.
