Fans are convinced he will be making a 'surprise' appearance at the huge music event - especially as he has done it before.
Dave Grohl, 56, has sent fans into a spin after posing for a photo with US singer Amanda Palmer at London 's Royal Albert Hall.
Amanda was backstage at a gig by rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs when she bumped into the Foo Fighters legend.
After grabbing Dave for a photo, she shared it on social media and told her followers: "Well I'll be damned. Not who I expected to run into backstage at the Yeah Yeah Yeah's show in London tonight, but look, it's Dave Grohl.
She added: "We shared a sweet conversation mostly singing the cosmic praises of Melissa auf der Maur, whose magnificence truly obscures both of us.
"It was really nice to meet you, Dave."
Writing on Reddit, fans have been quick to make the connection between Dave's trip to London and next week's Glastonbury Festival.
In 2023, a mystery act called The Churn Ups caused a stir when they featured on the Pyramid Stage bill.
Fans went into a frenzy trying to work out who the band was, before they were eventually unmasked as The Foo Fighters.
Starting a new thread on Reddit, music fans are now convinced Dave will be making another surprise appearance at Glastonbury.
Fans slam Glastonbury as 'worst one ever' as full lineup announced
One wrote: "Dave Grohl is in London, likely will be at the festival. Has done bits with John Fogerty in the past and other acts. Surely will be popping up at places this year?"
Another replied: "Drumming for Alanis Morrisette possibly? Tribute for Taylor Hawkins?"
And a third added: "100% will be milling about - I'd say a couple of guest appearances are a safe bet. Maybe Alanis for a song or Neil Young for an encore."
The Foo Fighters' surprise Glastonbury set in 2023 was the first time the band had been at the festival since headlining in 2017.
It was also their first major gig in the UK following the death of the band's drummer Taylor Hawkins, who passed away in March 2022 aged 50.
Taylor had joined The Foo Fighters in 1997 and, prior to that, was the drummer on Alanis Morrissette's tour.
Canadian musician Alanis is listed to perform on the Pyramid Stage at 6.15pm next Friday (June 27), which would be the perfect time for Dave to appear.
Other headliners this year include The 1975, Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, Charli XCX, Doechii and The Prodigy.
Glastonbury 2025 - confirmed acts so far
TICKETS to the 2025 festival sold out in just minutes before some of the acts were even confirmed. Here is who has been confirmed so far.
Confirmed headliners:
The 1975 will take to the Pyramid Stage on Friday.
Neil Young will headline the festival for the second time after his last set in 2009 on Saturday after RAYE makes her return.
Charli xcx will headline the Other Stage on Saturday night.

Rod Stewart will also be performing in the Legends slot, having previously headlined at Worthy Farm 23 years ago.
This week, the rock icon revealed in an interview how much he is being paid to perform this year - and how much he is set to lose.
Rod told the Radio Times: "It was about eight months ago when I was asked to do it, maybe a little longer. But it didn't fit with my schedule because I've got to bring everybody back from America.
"It's going to cost me £300,000 to do it and they only pay you about 120,000 quid. So it's going to cost me."

Rod Stewart celebrates 18th wedding anniversary with Penny Lancaster
Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster marked their 18th wedding anniversary with a trip down memory lane as they took the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from Paris to Venice It's full steam ahead for Sir Rod Stewart, as the legendary singer put his recent health battles behind him to enjoy a luxury train ride with Penny Lancaster. The Glastonbury headliner, who cancelled a string of gigs earlier this month, looked dapper in pink as he celebrated 18 years of marriage with his wife. Sir Rod, who will play the Sunday teatime legend slot at Worthy Farm next week, and Loose Women star Penny looked happier than ever as they took a lavish trip down memory lane on Thursday. The Maggie May singer, 80, and the model, 54, started dating in 1999 before getting engaged in Paris in 2005 and tying the knot at the medieval monastery La Cervara in Portofino in 2007. Following their nuptials on 16 June 2007, the couple spent their honeymoon on the Lady Ann Magee yacht, which was anchored in Portofino. To celebrate their anniversary, the couple retraced their steps to these memorable locations by taking the the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Penny, dressed in a pink floral ensemble to complement Sir Rod's pink blazer, gave fans a glimpse of their romantic break on social media. Uploading some snaps from their trip to Instagram, Penny captioned the sweet pictures: "Entering a bygone era @vsoetrain from Paris where we got engaged to Portofino where we got married 18 years ago, it's totally magical Sir Rod Stewart xxxx." Sir Rod's anniversary comes as the iconic singer hits out at his one-time pal and neighbour, President Donald Trump. The dad-of-eight once rubbed shoulders with the businessman-turned-politician, but now finds him off his festive greeting list. The Hot Legs hitmaker shares a neighbourhood with Trump's Florida estate and was a regular at the Trumps' soirees. However, it seems their once-close bromance has fizzled out thanks to Trump's support of Israel. In a candid chat, Sir Rod revealed that their properties are less than a mile apart, yet he's "not a great fan" of the divisive President. Despite finding some of Trump's traits appealing, Sir Rod expressed his discontent with several aspects of Trump's behaviour, particularly during his time in office. "I'm not a great fan of Trump. I knew him very, very well. I used to go to his house," Sir Rod confessed. He elaborated: "I live literally half a mile away." In an interview with Radio Times, he disclosed: "We're both on the beach. I used to go to his Christmas parties. He's always been a bit of a man's man. I liked him for that. But he didn't, as far as I'm concerned, treat women very well." Yet, according to Sir Rod, Trump's ascent to the presidency marked a drastic transformation. "He became another guy. Somebody I didn't know," he remarked. Whether there's room for a thaw in their frosty relations remains to be seen. Sir Rod declared: "No, I can't anymore. As long as he's selling arms to the Israelis - and he still is. How's that war ever gonna stop?"

England footie ace Millie Bright sends cryptic four-word message after leaving fiancé for married personal trainer
MILLIE BRIGHT has been soaking up some rays in the summer heatwave - after deciding to sit out the Lionesses' Euro defence. The Chelsea defender, 31, recently split from her fiancé Levi Crew. 4 4 Bright has been a regular feature in the Lionesses' set-up since 2016, helping the team win the Euros in 2023. She recently made herself unavailable for this summer's Euro 2025, saying she was unable to give 100 per cent mentally or physically. Away from the field, Bright has fallen "hook, line, and sinker" for her new personal trainer boyfriend. The Sun exclusively revealed this week Millie's new man was a married dad of seven who has already moved into her home. Dave Zetolofsky, 39, is a martial arts enthusiast and former pro kickboxer. And Bright appeared to be smitten as she soaked up some rays on Thursday afternoon. Millie uploaded a series of snaps for her 450,000 Instagram fans, posing in the sunshine before hitting up a restaurant for dinner. Lionesses centre-back Millie wrote: "Appreciating the little things." Millie met Dave after she began training at the 21st Century Combat gym in Redhill, Surrey. A source told The Sun: "Millie and Dave's relationship is no secret. England football ace Millie Bright leaves fiancé & falls for married personal trainer 'in a big way' "They've been seen out and about, and in the gym together. "You can understand that [Dave's wife] Katie has found the whole thing pretty devastating. "The fallout has been enormous but Millie has fallen hook, line and sinker for this guy." Bright started her career at Doncaster Belles after coming through Sheffield United's youth setup. She was snapped up by Chelsea prior to the 2015 season and has gone on to become one of their greatest ever players. Bright has earned 88 caps for the Lionesses, scoring six goals. The 31-year-old is currently the club captain and is contracted with the Blues until 2026. Bright has told friends her new romance has nothing to do with her withdrawal from international duty this summer. There is also no suggestion that the pair have cheated on their former partners.
