Huge Hollywood star secretly being lined up for surprise Glastonbury set

The Irish Sun05-05-2025

HOLLYWOOD is coming to Somerset . . . at least if organisers get their way.
I can reveal that Oscar-nominee Timothee Chalamet is being lined up to make a surprise appearance at next month's Glastonbury Festival.

But rather than take to the Pyramid Stage before 200,000 fans, Timothée is likely to opt for the more humble Acoustic Stage.
In stark comparison to the main stage, the tent only has space for a few thousand people.
I'm told Timothée, will perform with Bob Dylan tribute band Not Completely Unknown.
The group are billed to appear on Saturday.
Timothée has received critical acclaim for his portrayal of the music legend in Bafta-nominated 2024 film A Complete Unknown.

During the biopic Timothée is seen singing and performing some of Bob's biggest hits himself, rather than simply miming to them. The actor had originally pre-recorded the vocals, but bosses ditched them in favour of live vocals during each take after hearing him sing on set.
Timothée said: 'It was important for me to sing and play live.
'Because if I can actually do it, why should there be an element of artifice here?

'And I'm proud that we took that leap.'
He added: 'To watch actors do karaoke really isn't that interesting.'
Timothee Chalamet's sister Pauline 'can't stand' Kylie Jenner and once-close siblings now have 'deep rift' between them
He plays both the piano and the guitar in the hit movie, which was nominated for eight Oscars.
Earlier this year Timothée performed several Dylan songs on the popular American TV show Saturday Night Live.
As well as Dylan's 1965 track Outlaw Blues, the actor also performed Three Angels and Tomorrow Is a Long Time.
This year's Glastonbury festival looks set to be another vintage year with Olivia Rodrigo, The 1975 and Neil Young all set to perform headline sets.
Sir Rod Stewart will follow in the footsteps of
Seeing Timothée in action down at Worthy Farm would be epic, and if his girlfriend Kylie Jenner also makes it over to Somerset to watch him perform then we could well be looking at Glastonbury history.

THINGS are getting serious with Madonna and her toyboy partner Akeem Morris, as she threw him a lavish 29th birthday party at the weekend.
They looked loved-up in snaps shared on Instagram and he made his feelings towards the Queen of Pop clear by referring to her as 'wifey.'
He wrote: 'All I can say is thank you. Thank you wifey.
'It meant so much to have the people I love and respect all in one room. It was a special night, and the energy in the room was nothing but love.'
She laid on a bash in a private bar in New York, which was attended by four of her six children – David, Mercy, and twins Estere and Stella – and got YG Marley to perform a special set.
The singer, whose track Praise Jah In The Moonlight was a hit last year, is the son of The Fugees' Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley, the son of reggae icon Bob.
Madonna wrote on Instagram: 'Happy Birthday to my favorite Taurus,' to which Akeem replied: 'I LOVE YOU.'
TYLA STRIPES IT UP

THE Met Gala was held in the early hours of this morning, giving celebrities the chance to wear their wackiest outfits and pass them off as high fashion.
But South African singer Tyla got in on the act early when she wore this glaring orange and black dress with a gigantic matching hat, which I'm surprised even fit inside the car she had just hopped out of.
The Water singer used the streets as her catwalk while out in New York, and she had good reason, as she has just announced that her new single, Bliss, will be out on Friday.
Tyla will be over here in August when she performs at the All Points East Festival in London in a line-up featuring
Here's hoping that she's in something a bit less constricting when she takes to the stage.
ALL TOOTH MUCH FOR KYLE

EUROVISION might be as fun as pulling teeth for some people and for Norway's act Kyle Alessandro, it really is.
Moments after completing his first rehearsal on stage in Basel on Sunday, Kyle was rushed to hospital to have one of his wisdom teeth taken out.
Referencing his song Lighter, which he will perform at next Tuesday's first semi-final, he wrote on Instagram: 'One tooth lighter.'
His team said he could barely open his mouth because he was in so much pain before the operation.
UK act Remember Monday have their first rehearsal this Thursday, but are now 14th favourites with their song What The Hell Just Happened? and given there's 37 acts, that's not half bad.

LADY GAGA played the most-attended gig ever by a female artist when she headlined Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beach on Saturday, but that record could soon be broken.
It's claimed Beyonce is already in talks to follow suit and play a mega show there next year.
Gaga's concert was put on for free by the city in a bid to boost the economy, with it believed to have brought £75million to the area.
Now locals will be hoping Bey signs on the dotted line and they can see her for free too – even if it is from miles away.
I was impressed by the sheer number of people who came to Gaga's show, but I for one know I'd have hated to have been at the back of that crowd.
MAROON TURNS TO PINK

MAROON 5's Adam Levine was one lucky man, getting to work – and pose – with Blackpink's Lisa.
She looked amazing in a snakeskin dress in the artwork for their new collaboration Priceless, which came out on Friday and earned the band their biggest first day ever on the Spotify chart when it was streamed 2.48million times in 24 hours.
Lisa insisted a new Blackpink record is 'coming soon' – their first since 2022's Born Pink – ahead of a summer tour including two nights at Wembley Stadium.
She added: 'We were in the studio a few days ago.'
DUA HAS RADICAL FEELING

DUA LIPA's Radical Optimism world tour is yet to hit the UK, but the star is already working on her follow-up record.
The Training Season singer has spent the last few days in the studio in New York and shared snaps of her time there on Instagram.
During her time in the Big Apple, she also attended an intimate gig by Miley Cyrus, who she previously worked with on the track Prisoner – although I'm not expecting another collaboration.
Dua kicks off her tour again on Sunday in Madrid before reaching London, Liverpool and Dublin next month.
I doubt we will have any new tunes by then, but it gives me hope that there might be something to hear next year, once her global jaunt finally ends in December.
FLORENCE PUGH has a box-office hit on her hands.
New movie Thunderbolts* took £122m globally in its first three days.
The Marvel superhero film, which also stars Sebastian Stan and David Harbour, has been a hit with fans, despite mixed reviews from critics.
