Who are the Churn Ups?
The Sun exclusively revealed that Foo Fighters were Churn Ups.
The group are set to play a secret set on the iconic Pyramid Stage tonight (June 23, 2023), taking to the stage ahead of Royal Blood and headliners Arctic Monkeys.
The Sun previously revealed the band, fronted by Dave Grohl, booked out a series of rooms in a hotel near Worthy Farm ahead of the show.
Keen to keep fans guessing, the official Glastonbury line-up has Best Of You rockers under the codename The Churnups.
The Foo Fighters are set to play for an hour and 15 minutes from 6.15pm.
A music mole said: “The set has been in the planning for some time as it will be 25 years since the Foo Fighters first played Glastonbury back in 1998.
“The day and slot is also exactly the same as when they made their debut as well.
“After a tough 12 months the group wanted to celebrate their time together and what better way than at the mother of all festivals.
“The Foos made sure to leave a gap in their tour schedule but wanted to keep it all under wraps. “

They dropped a hint at the news when Dave shared an open letter to fans on social media which referenced “churning up emotions” – similar to the pseudonym they will perform under.
He penned: “Hey, it’s been a while.
“Now that we’ve returned from our first run of shows, I felt compelled to reach out and thank you all for being there for us.
“Every night, when I see you singing, it makes me sing harder. When I see you screaming, it makes me scream louder. When I see your tears, it brings me to tears. And when I see your joy, it brings me joy.
“But, I see you… and it feels good to see you, churning up these emotions together.
“Because we’ve always done this together. Time and time again. See you soon.”
Who else is rumoured to play a secret set at Glastonbury?
Rumours are circulating that it Sheffield britpop band Pulp will also play.
The group hit the big time in the early nineties with their hit song Common People.
However, Pulp drummer Nick Banks has taken to social media to deny any link to the speculated slot, saying: “Though it’s very tempting to tease you lot again. I know nothing of the ‘Churnups’ band,” he tweeted. “Ok? Over and out. (For now).”
