Noughties icons accidentally announce they're playing Glastonbury 2025

Metro30-04-2025

Rizzle Kicks have let slip they will be performing at Glastonbury Festival this year.
The Mama Do the Hump duo – comprised of Jordan Stephens, and Harley Alexander-Sulé, both 33 – are yet to officially confirm their Worthy Farm appearance, but during a livestream the news was leaked straight from the horse's mouth.
Jordan appeared on Arsenal's YouTube channel on Tuesday, and was forced to make the revelation.
Radio host and life-long Arsenal fan Roman Kemp did an oopsies when he said outright to Jordan, 'You're playing Glastonbury this year,' to which the singer interrupted and said: 'I haven't actually announced that yet…'
Awkward. Nice one Roman.
Fans of the Down With The Trumpets hitmakers have a few options this year if they want to see the duo live, as they're heading to Brighton in May, London's Somerset House and Manchester's Castlefield Bowl in July, as well as The Cotswolds' Big Feastival in August.
But now it seems on the last weekend in June the pair will be heading to Glastonbury alongside confirmed headliners including The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo.
While the headliner line-up is always contentious, there's no doubt the 2025 festival is jam-packed with millennial nostalgic favourites like Rizzle Kicks.
Franz Ferdinand, the Scissor Sisters, Kaiser Chiefs, The Script, The Libertines, Fatboy Slim and The Maccabees will all be taking to the stage at various points throughout the weekend, keeping noughties lovers satisfied.
The biggest artists of 2025 are also in abundance with Charli XCX, Doechii, and newcomer Lola Young also billed throughout the weekend.
Tickets are now officially sold out with the resale over and out for another year, with the only options still available if you want to attend being volunteering or winning competitions.
While Emily Eavis has dropped line up posters for Woodsies stage, Acoustic stage, West Holts stage, Shangri-La and Silver Hayes, many more acts are still to be announced, with over 2,000 artists descending on the Somerset festival.
Fans are also wondering who this year's secret set will be, after the Woodsies Stage was flooded with fans who discovered last minute that Kasabian would be performing there last year.
Contenders this year seem to be HAIM, The Cure, Mumford and Sons, Sam Fender and Green Day, though we won't find out for sure until the day of.
Reflecting on their career and talking their comeback in an interview with Metro in February, Jordan explained: Jordan explained: 'When we were at our peak around 2012, it was an amazing time, but there was a whole different perception of 'coolness,' which I find fascinating.
'There was this way you were supposed to be and positioning was like a real thing, which I think is kind of blended nowadays and there was this – I felt there was, anyway – a friction with the fact that we were delivering kind of…joyfulness.'
He explained how 'self-professed hip hop or musical purists' didn't think they were cool or truly inkeeping with the spirit of hip hop.
But now in 2025, after a pandemic, Braxit and a shifting global atmosphere, Rizzle Kicks are the tonic we need, he said.
'I think it's actually cooler now than it was before to be joyful, on the basis that it's not as readily available anymore. It's almost like a scarcity, so our currency's gone up, our currency of joy is up,' he said.
Rizzle Kicks are not the only stars to prematurely announce their Glastonbury appearance, as Example accidentally self-confirmed earlier this month. More Trending
Example – real name Elliot Gleave – shared a list of upcoming shows on his Instagram page, including one pixelated date on June 27, which just so happens to coincide with Glastonbury.
The Kickstarts hitmaker, 42, shared a list of milestones achieved going into 2025, including his first show in Japan and first Reading and Leeds performance.
He also pixelated somewhere that he would be performing for the ninth time, with fans pointing out he has performed at Glastonbury eight times previously.

'I'm a fashion editor and found perfect festival outfits at unlikely retailer'

The brand may be known for its lingerie and adult toys, but it's really been killing the fashion game recently - and its latest drop is no different Festival season is officially here - and if you've bagged tickets to Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Download, Isle of Wight, or one of the other popular weekend events, you'll know that sorting your outfit is just as crucial as the lineup. Fashion editor Rachel Pugh has been hunting for the perfect ensemble, and stumbled upon options in a rather unexpected place: Ann Summers. She said: 'The brand is smashing it with its glitzy, dancefloor-ready collection. From sequin-adorned bodysuits to faux leather shorts, it's got all the elements for a main-stage moment - and some of it is even on sale.' reports the Manchester Evening News. One of her top picks was the brand's Flashing Lights Sequin Body, now £27.20 (was £34). She commented: 'In an electric pink and dripping in sparkle, it's practically made for dancing under the stage lights. It's bold, fun and cheeky, with a plunging back and mesh thong bum. Pair it with denim cut-offs, or go full throttle and wear it solo with a pair of knee-high boots.' If you're feeling particularly daring, the Eternal Rainbow Suit is another option. Now reduced to £28.80 from £36, it's crafted from rainbow lace and mesh instead of a solid colour, giving it a dreamy vibe. It also has underwired cups for extra support and adjustable shoulder straps for comfort. 'With a piece this eye-catching, keep the rest of your outfit simple,' said Rachel. 'Think black shorts and chunky combat boots to let the bodysuit do all the talking.' Festival edit various Ann Summers Buy here Product Description Elsewhere, Jaded London is set to be your new go-to for festival outfits with knockout styles including standout cargo trousers and co-ord sets that will have you channelling headliner vibes. 'I bagged myself a pair of beige parachute trousers to wear at the Lido Festival in London over the weekend,' Rachel commented. Otherwise, Motel Rocks is another option. Known for its bold prints, sheer layering and y2k party-girl energy, it's perfect for a muddy field. Back at Ann Summers, there are also some great short options available. Festival-goers can go full glam with a diamante-detailing pair or keep it classic with a plain black version - both £28. The brand's festival range has not yet received many reviews, although a couple of people have commented on the diamante shorts. One person said: "Really pretty. The material is thin, which is perfect for summer. I love the bling detail on the chains. "I recently went from 16 to 14, and I am choosing size medium more often. I went with a size large on this one so that my belly doesn't stick out. They are a bit large, but I love how they make me look as if I have room." When scouring Ann Summers site for criticism, results seem scarce, yet there's a grumble or two about their delivery service found on TrustPilot, with one customer posting: "I placed an order which was cancelled a week later. No reason was given; the email stated that if I still wanted the products, I should place a new order." Speaking on the festival edit, Rachel concluded: 'Ann Summer has officially entered its festival fashion era - and I want it all.' Shoppers can view the entire range here.

Katie Price becomes first British star to trademark her own AI image in six-figure deal as she resurrects 1990s alter ego to declare 'Jordan is back!'

Katie Price is becoming the first British star to trademark her own Artificial Intelligence image in a huge six-figure deal. The former glamour model, 47, has signed a lucrative contract with American firm OhChat to revive and trademark her old alter-ego Jordan - as an AI version of her. In the deal she recorded 30 phrases to say so that company could make the model of her. The chosen phrases include 'I like going horse riding,' and 'this week for dinner I've got beef burgers'. Katie told The Sun of the deal: 'The Jordan days were the best days of my life. This AI move is so clever. It's a genius move. It's also a way for me to feel like her again. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Jordan's back and now I'm in competition with Jordan. I love it and they've really captured my voice and personality — you see me moving and everything. 'It's scarily weird but fascinating.' Promotional videos shared on social media show Jordan saying in a voice similar to Katie's: 'It's Jordan here. No more looking at those cheeky mags.' OhChat, which describes itself as 'the leading platform to live out your uncensored dreams through AI-powered text, voice and images.' Ahead of the launch on Monday she reassured fans: 'You can have me all for yourself.' A source told The Sun that the deal was 'a brilliant, game-changing bit of business from Katie'. It comes just after Katie sparked concern at Portsmouth Pride as the ex-glamour model took to the stage to headline the event despite the lashing rain. Katie was the main act for this year's Pride, with Girls Aloud Nadine Coyle also performing on Saturday night. Despite the bad weather, hundreds turned out to watch mum-of-five Katie perform a selection of songs. Taking to the stage, she showed off her slimmed down physique as she wore a pink jacket and tassels with a statement sparkly hat that spelled out the word 'Pricey'. Katie then stripped off to reveal a racy black leotard underneath, while showing off her tiny, heavily tattooed legs. The ex-glamour model has left fans concerned over her slimmed down figure for months, and previously addressed her drastic weight loss in May. Speaking to fans on Snapchat, she said: 'Yes I've lost weight. 'Yes that what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. 'Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. 'And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. 'So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me.' Towards the end of her set, Katie brought on Married At First Sight star Ella Morgan on stage - the ex-girlfriend of her current boyfriend JJ Slater. As the women complimented each other's bodies, Katie said they both had a 'lot in common'.

Despite recovering from he flu, he appeared in good spirits. He styled his look with some sunglasses and a chunky necklace as he was snapped getting out of a black car. ‌ His daughter Kimberley showed off her growing baby bump in a black mini dress paired with a blazer and boots.

I'm fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 metres in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79." Discussing what he sees for the future, the musical icon added: "I'd like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour the year after next – smaller venues and more intimacy. But then again, I may not…'.
