THERE are already huge stars across the line-up for Glastonbury, but I can reveal two more will be appearing at the festival this weekend.
I’ve learned both Pulp and Hozier will play secret sets at the Woodsies stage – which is the new name given to what was previously called the John Peel Stage.

Sheffield legends Pulp will play an hour-long show from 6pm on Saturday.
It will be the first time Jarvis Cocker’s band will have played the festival in more than a decade.
Hozier – who last played the festival in 2019 – kicks off at 7.30pm on Friday.
A source said: “Every year Glastonbury likes to keep fans on their toes and this year is no different.
“Both Pulp and Hozier have signed up to play the festival ages ago but bosses decided to keep their names under wraps.
“Neither have played the farm for a while so no doubt their sets will be extra-special.”
I previously told how rock legends Foo Fighters will play the famous Pyramid Stage under the pseudonym The Churnups – 25 years after they made their debut at Glastonbury.
As ever, I’ll be down on Worthy Farm all weekend bringing you backstage exclusives from the world’s greatest festival.

BRIT’S FLYING VISIT
BRITNEY SPEARS hasn’t sung on stage in almost five years but could these photos suggest she is about to dig out her mic once again?
The Toxic singer shared images on Instagram of herself and actor husband Sam Asghari on a private jet, which many are hoping is bound for the UK.

She collaborated with Elton on the No3 hit Hold Me Closer last August and he recently promised he will be joined by special guests during his Glasto set.
In another clue, earlier this month she wrote on Instagram that she was “going to London next week to go shopping.”
Perhaps some wellies for Worthy Farm, Brit? Fingers crossed.
JUMP TO IT, KYLIE
KYLIE MINOGUE was jumpsuiting for joy when she took to the stage in New York.
She covered up in this blue outfit for the show – a week after wowing the crowd at Capital’s Summertime Ball in London.

Kylie played a nine-song set including Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, Spinning Around, In Your Eyes and Love At First Sight.
Also included was her new single Padam Padam which reached No9 on Friday and looks set to rise even further.
According to chart data, last night the song had gone up to No8 – and was just one sale behind Rudimenta’s Dancing Is Healing at No7.
BEYONCE LOOKING GLOVELY
BEYONCE was Crazy In Gloves as she took to the stage in this hot pink outfit in Amsterdam.
She is still earning rave reviews across Europe for her Renaissance tour and made a special effort with her wardrobe on Sunday night.

After changing through several custom looks at the concert, she wrote online: “In honor of Juneteenth, everything I wore for Renaissance World Tour tonight was created exclusively by Black designers.”
Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the US to mark the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.
I told last month how she had enlisted the help of 12 seamstresses during her shows in London, so that they could work on outfits backstage.
Clearly she is not skimping on her clothes on the continent, either.
LEIGH TO MIX IT UP
LEIGH-ANNE PINNOCK has only just dropped her solo single but she has already promised a Little Mix reunion.
The Don’t Say Love singer, who is at No3 in the midweek charts with the track, insisted she is still close with Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards.
She said: “We’re so tight, they are my girls and they’re always gonna to be my sisters, so of course we’re gonna do a reunion, how would we not?”
On their decision to go on hiatus after their tour last May, she told Heart Breakfast: “I genuinely feel like it’s the right time.
“We’ve been together for 12 years and I really feel it was time for us to spread our wings.”
NIALL WITH HIS GIRL
NIALL HORAN had a very special supporter by his side as he performed at Isle of Wight Festival – his rarely seen girlfriend.
I can reveal his partner, Amelia Woolley, cheered him on from the side of the stage on Sunday and they were later seen strolling backstage.

A source said: “They were inseparable and watched James Bay’s set together.
“Niall was attentive and they were holding hands, chatting and giggling. She looked amazing in double denim.”
Niall had good reason to celebrate, after his third album The Show – inspired by his romance with fashion buyer Amelia – topped the charts on Friday.
His relationship with actress Hailee Steinfeld lasted just over a year before they split in 2018.
Clearly this one is faring much better.
Bizbit
IT is worth keeping an eye out for George Ezra this summer as he says he often goes undercover at festivals.
The Green Green Grass singer said he puts on other people’s clothes in order to move around sites without being hounded by fans.
He told Hits Radio: “I will do a bit of a disguise after the gig.
“Once, I did festival security, and was genuinely asked a lot about where the toilet was.”
WHAT IF TOM GETS NO1
TOM GRENNAN is on course to score his second No1 album this Friday with What Ifs & Maybes.
It is ahead of Queen of the Stone Age’s In Times New Roman, which is at No2 so far, while Kelly Jones’ new band Far From Saints’ album is at No4.

Elsewhere, new greatest hits collections are proving popular with the Pet Shop Boys at No3 and Texas at No7.
And the 20th anniversary reissue of Girls Aloud’s Sound of the Underground is at No9.
