Mama Do The Hump stars Jordan "Rizzle" Stephens and Harley "Sylvester" Alexander-Sule are set to play Glastonbury this summer - but the news was blurted out by host Roman.
Jordan was appearing live on Arsenal's pre-match show when the presenter declared the big news.
Kemp stated: "You're playing Glastonbury this year."
The alarmed singer noted: "I haven't actually announced that yet…"
The DJ corrected himself: "You're not playing Glastonbury this year..."
Jordan - who has been in a relationship with Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall since 2020 - admitted: "It's gonna come out at some point."
Fans commented on social media: "Yay, I hope I can see them,"
"Last time was like 10 years ago. New album too, can't wait," echoed a second.
A third delighted fan wrote: "Hopefully introduced by Huey Morgan."
Their debut album, Stereo Typical, was released in 2011 and Roaring 20s followed in 2013.

Both albums reached number 5 in the UK charts.
The pair also had several chart-topping songs, including a collaboration with Olly Murs Heart Skips a Beat which reached number one in 2012.
Harley previously said about their split: "We were both, very much not in a position to be pop stars at that time."
Jordan added: "But yeah, we took a break because I was doing loads of drugs.
"I had crippling anxiety."
The pair both agreed their health was suffering because of their music careers.
Reminiscing on the exact day the pair decided to take a step back from the limelight, Harley said: "It was one of the most depressing days of my life."
He explained that he experienced a panic attack after performing at a festival.
"Performing in front of 15, 20,000 people or whatever, and coming off and feeling worse than you did when you went on stage. I was like, that's not right," he said.
"And I think we both just looked at each other like yeah, nah that's not the one."
The Down With The Trumpets hitmakers are also heading to Brighton in May, London's Somerset House and Manchester's Castlefield Bowl in July, plus The Cotswolds' Big Feastival in August.

Lewis Capaldi reveals brutal snub from huge A-list singer after 'lovely evening together'
Lewis Capaldi has opened up about being ghosted by the star over text after they enjoyed a night out together. Lewis Capaldi has revealed that he was ghosted by a huge celebrity as he opened up on the embarrassing snub. The Someone You Loved hitmaker spoke out about his night out with global superstar Justin Bieber at a star-studded bash but said that the Love Yourself singer ignored him the next day. The Scots megastar, 28, explained that he and Bieber had exchanged numbers after meeting on the night out but after dropping him a message the following day, Lewis was left with no response. Chatting to Chris Stark on Capital Breakfast, Before You Go singer Lewis revealed: 'It was amazing, there was famous people, Charli xcx was there, Justin Bieber was there. 'Justin Bieber comes over and said 'hey man, what's going on?' And I said, 'you don't remember my name?' And he said, 'of course I do, you're Lewis Capaldi'. Me and Bieber had this super night together, like really lovely evening together. We didn't spend the night together, but we hung out and I'm like 'me and the Biebs are gonna be best pals, this is huge'." However, things did not go as planned for Lewis as he continued: 'And he's like 'man make sure I get your number tomorrow'. And I was like 'me and the Biebs, this is huge'. 'I text him maybe the most sucking up his a*** text. I said, 'Just wanted to jump on bro, last night was so special, great guy, so nice to hang out with you, such a dude'. 'He likes it and doesn't reply. So if you're out there Bieber, wherever you are, text me back please. Bieber aired me.' Capaldi returned to the spotlight earlier this summer with his surprise comeback to Glastonbury which came two years after his emotional breakdown on the very same stage, The Sun reports. The musician, who has Tourette's Syndrome, took a two-year break from the limelight after his 2023 Glastonbury performance saw him unable to carry on with the audience carrying on his songs for him. He made an iconic return to the Pyramid Stage in June with crowds of over 100,000 people chanting his name. Capaldi told fans his two years off had been 'difficult' but admitted he had unfinished business to resolve at Glastonbury. He said: "Glastonbury, it's so good to be back. I'm not gonna say much up here today because if I do, I think I'll probably start crying. "But I said it's just amazing to be here with you all, and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me.' Making light of his 2023 performance, which he was forced to cut short at the time, he said: "Second time's a charm on this one, everybody. "It's just a short set today, but I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't finish the first time.' Lewis played for 35 minutes in the surprise set slot, belting out some of his most famous tracks including Before You Go and Hold Me While You Wait.

The 2025 Maho Rasop Series lineup has landed
It's strange to think of November in Bangkok without Maho Rasop. The annual gathering – once a shorthand for discovering music you didn't yet know you loved – has been a fixture in the city's cultural calendar, a rare blend of precision and chaos, polish and grit. Last year, it was Air who drifted into the skyline, their set suspended somewhere between nostalgia and dream. I remember it not just as a performance, but as a collective hallucination; a crowd swaying in a rare moment of perfect weather. This year, though, the festival is on pause. In its place comes something that feels at once smaller and more deliberate: Maho Rasop Series, a chain of standalone concerts unfolding across November and December 2025. Less sprawling field, more curated rooms. The same people – HAVE YOU HEARD?, Seen Scene Space, Fungjai – but now playing with intimacy as their headline act. The absence of the festival was not a creative decision alone. The press release didn't dress it up. The global economy is fragile. Artist fees keep climbing. Audiences are cautious with their spending. The regional circuit has grown more crowded, each city trying to host its own miniature Glastonbury. And so, Maho Rasop – usually a sprawling, weekend-long escape – is sitting this one out. It's a sobering reminder that 'support your local scene and festival' isn't just a nice slogan to print on a tote. Without audiences, without sponsors who understand the worth of these events, without the often-invisible crews who make them happen, even the most beloved gatherings can vanish. And yet, from that pause comes a pivot. Maho Rasop Series promises to keep the spirit intact – introducing listeners to acts they might not stumble upon otherwise, making each show its own world of light, sound, and atmosphere. Three names are already on the poster. Let's have a closer look at them. Black Country, New Road The first to be revealed, announced in July. They arrive on December 13 at Search Studio, Ramkhamhaeng 81. Black Country, New Road (BC,NR) are not a band you half-listen to. Their sound spills across experimental rock, touching post-punk's nervous edges and the wistfulness of klezmer. Their debut, For the First Time (2021), landed like a thesis statement. The follow-up, Ants From Up There (2022), was heavier with emotion – and also the last with vocalist Isaac Wood. Their debut, For the First Time (2021), sounded like six people running in different directions but somehow keeping pace – jagged saxophone, angular guitar, lyrics you weren't sure you'd understood but couldn't stop replaying. Then came Ants From Up There (2022), warmer, more melodic, and bittersweet, now considered one of the defining records of the decade's early years. When frontman Isaac Wood stepped away in 2022, many thought it might be the end. Instead, they dissolved the idea of a single frontperson altogether. Forever Howlong, their latest, feels both lighter and more fragile – all shared vocals, quiet pastoral interludes, and words that cling like half-forgotten dreams. Live, this shift has given them an almost theatrical fluidity, with members swapping instruments and roles mid-set. Tickets are available now via Ticketmelon right here. Regular price B2,200 or B2,400 at the door. Suchmos Next, the Japanese rock collective with a taste for groove. Formed in 2013 in Kanagawa Prefecture, Suchmos pull from African-American genres – rock, jazz, hip-hop – and their name nods to Louis Armstrong's nickname, 'Satchmo'. Catch them live on November 30 at Ambience Space. Their debut THE BAY (2015) gave us 'YMM', all funk and disco lift, and won them Apple Music's Best New Artist of that year. THE KIDS (2017) leaned further into rock and hip-hop, with 'STAY TUNE' sending the album to the top of Billboard Japan's charts. In Thailand, they became familiar faces after their Big Mountain Music Festival slot in 2018, just as THE ASHTRAY brought a '70s haze to their catalogue. THE ANYMAL (2019) – part Beatles homage, part experiment – proved they could keep evolving without losing their rhythm-first DNA. Tickets are now available on Ticketmelon – grab yours here. Zone A: B2,400, Zone B: B1,800. L'Impératrice Presented by Seen Scene Space on November 27 at The Street Hall. The Parisian group weave electropop, funk, and nu-disco into something lush and cinematic. Members Charles de Boisseguin (keyboard), Hagni Gwan (keyboard), Achille Trocellier (guitar), David Gaugué (bass), Tom Daveau (drums) and vocalist Flore Benguigui build songs that glide – silk basslines under disco name means 'The Empress', a nod to transformation and quiet authority. Flore's presence is both magnetic and political: she writes about sexism in the industry, about being second-guessed as an artist because she is a woman, about resisting any attempt to reshape her identity. On stage, those politics become euphoria. Albums like Matahari (2019) and Tako Tsubo (2021) show their range – the former a cascade of glittering dancefloor anthems, the latter dipping into more introspective textures without losing groove. Live, they're masters of atmosphere: coloured lights curling like smoke, bass lines you feel in your ribs, and an audience that inevitably starts to sway by the second will be on sale via Ticketmelon here, with early bird pricing at B1,900 from August 16-22, and regular tickets at B2,200 starting August 23. What's being offered here isn't a consolation prize. It's a reminder that live music doesn't always have to be a sprawling field and a weekend lost to mud. Sometimes it's a single night in a small room, the air thick with anticipation, where the distance between audience and artist is short enough to see every detail. Maho Rasop Festival will be missed this year, but Maho Rasop Series might give us something else entirely – a season stitched together from singular moments, each one designed to be unrepeatable.
