Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl dedicated the last song of the band’s surprise set on Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage to their late drummer Taylor Hawkins. The US rock band stormed through a number of hit songs during the hour-long performance – their first time at the world-famous festival since 2017.There had been high speculation that the Foo Fighters would take to the main stage on Friday from 6.15pm in a slot which was billed under the name The Churnups. An hour before the slot, the band posted a photo of flags within the festival crowd, one with the phrase Churn It Up brandished across it, and tagged the post #Glastonbury2023.

Glastonbury 2023 has been in full swing all weekend, and a new high standard for tents has been set.

When 17-year-old Jo Whiley set off for somewhere called Glastonbury after a raucous sixth form party, she had no idea the festival would come to define her next four decades.

Glastonbury 2023 ticketholders are speculating online over a prominent mystery slot on the Pyramid Stage.Today (May 30) the full line-up and stage times were revealed for this year’s festival, which is due to take place at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset between June 21-25. Joining the bill were the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age, The Hives and Ben Howard.But the main talking point surrounding the extensive schedule is a slot occupied by an unknown act, The Churnups, on the opening day of music (June 23).They are billed to perform on the Pyramid Stage for an hour and a quarter (6:15pm-7:30pm BST) ahead of Royal Blood (8:15 pm-9:15pm BST) and headliners Arctic Monkeys (10:15pm-11:45pm BST).Initially, many fans on Twitter and beyond claimed that the pseudonym belongs to Pulp – who recently began their 2023 reunion tour.
