Noughties icons accidentally announce they're playing Glastonbury 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.

Muse appear to tease return with new song Unravelling
Muse appear to tease return with new song Unravelling Matt Bellamy and co have been dropping teasers about their return for a few weeks now, and it looks like new music is imminent Muse performing on the Pyramid stage during the Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset (Image: PA Archive/PA Images ) Muse appear to be teasing a new song called Unravelling. Matt Bellamy and co have been dropping teasers about their return for a few weeks now, and it looks like new music is imminent. The British rock band posted a snippet of a video of an unreleased song and captioned the Instagram post: "Back at it." The word Unravelling then flashes up on the screen at the end. A previous animated clip teased: "Something's coming..." Muse also posted a picture of their silhouette and wrote: "An insect trapped in amber." Article continues below In February, bassist Chris Wolstenholme revealed they were planning to work on a new album "fairly soon". The Hysteria rockers' last full-length record was 2022's Will of the People, and he said they were keen to get started on a follow-up and ink a new record deal. Speaking on an episode of The Leona Graham Podcast, he spilled: "We will [sign to a label], obviously. I think we're gonna start work on the next record fairly soon. "I think for the last few albums we've been with Warner and we've extended after each album. We may do the same again; we may go with a new label, who knows." The trio - which is completed by drummer Dominic Howard - needed the time to "reset" and Chris admits that there will be "bigger" gaps between records. He said: "When you finish touring an album, and [when] the band has been around a bit longer, the gaps between albums get a little bit bigger. I don't think we can be banging out new albums every two years like we used to. "But it gives you that opportunity to reset a little bit and think about what's gonna happen going forward." He had suggested that fans would have to wait until 2026 for their 10th studio album. He continued: "I think we'll start very, very soon, like in the next couple of months. Article continues below "We've got a few gigs in June. Only a handful – that's the only gigs we're doing this year. "I don't think the idea is to do anything really serious until next year, so I would imagine that 2026 will be a new album, barring any disasters." During Muse's downtime, Chris has been busy with a side project called Chromes, who released their first two tracks, Imaginary World and The Good Life, in October, with the musician on lead vocals. Chromes' latest track was The One, released on June 6.

Liam Gallagher reveals his biggest regret about feud with brother Noel
Liam Gallagher has made a rare confession about his years-long feud with his brother Noel Gallagher. The rift between the Oasis brothers was very well documented after a bust-up in 2009 led to the breakdown of one of the most beloved bands in the UK. The duo announced in 2024 that, despite years of barbs at one another, they'd decided to leave the past in the past and begin afresh with an Oasis reunion tour. Opening up about his relationship with his brother on X, Liam, 53, revealed that he considered the years he was in a feud with his brother as 'wasted'. A fan on X asked: 'How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times?' To this Liam replied with his regret: 'You know what it's spiritual but I can't help think about all those wasted years what a waste of PRECIOUS time.' It was unclear if he meant a waste of time not being close with his brother, or a waste of time not making music together as Oasis – perhaps both! You know what it's spiritual but I can't help think about all those wasted years what a waste of PRECIOUS time — Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) June 11, 2025 The Wonderwall singer has been incredibly active on social media in recent weeks, and yesterday revealed to fans that there would be no warm-up gigs ahead of the tour. When one fan asked him to do a warm-up gig, the singer replied: 'Warm up gigs are for w*****s.' He also revealed that creative control of the upcoming tour setlist was decided by Noel. One fan asked: 'How was the tour setlist decided?' 'Noel decided it,' the Morning Glory singer said matter-of-factly. When asked if he was nervous about the tour, Liam replied: 'Nerves are for W*****S' Adding: 'Shouldn't be doing it if you get nerves, you little tart' Noel decided it — Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) June 11, 2025 This comes just days after Liam threatened to quit social media after faking a major announcement. More Trending The Live Forever singer left fans baffled as he simply announced: 'I WORK OUT' after teasing he had big news, which some had hoped was something to do with the tour. The excitement for the Oasis reunion tour has been increasing as it is set to kick off next month. Starting in Cardiff in July, the Oasis Live 25 tour will conclude in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in November, with five sold-out Manchester dates pencilled in for mid-July. With the big tour just weeks away now, fans were delighted to learn more about the Oasis' setlist after an iconic song was heard in rehearsals. Got a story?
