Noughties icons accidentally announce they're playing Glastonbury 2025
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.

Paul Scholes offers blunt response to daughter wearing Arsenal shirt as Man United legend watched Red Devils' Premier League opener
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes did not take kindly to his daughter's interruption when viewing the Red Devils' season opener against Arsenal. The heavyweight clash and pick of the opening weekend's fixtures, was the first chance for United fans to see their revamped roster after a summer of big spending. Scholes was among the legion of supporters who tuned into the action from Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. But at least some of the 50-year-old's joy was stolen by the sight of his daughter draped in an Arsenal jersey. Alicia, 24, filmed her father's reaction as she wandered into the lounge in the opening minutes of the game. The hilarious social media clip shows the former midfielder bluntly telling his daughter to 'take it off'. She in turn replied with a swift: 'No'. Alicia is one of three children the United legend shares with his wife Claire Froggatt. They also share sons Arron, 25, and Aiden, 20. Alicia, who plays for London Pulse in the Netball Super League and represents England at international level, got the bragging rights in the Scholes household after Gunners ran out 1-0 victors. Riccardo Calafiori's 13th-minute header separated the two sides on an afternoon when the Red Devils deserved something from their efforts. Scholes will no doubt have been happy to see the contributions of new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, who both excited fans with their direct running and positive play. Ruben Amorim's men travel to west London to take on Fulham in their next fixture before a second round League Cup clash against Grimsby at Blundell Park.

Fans are all saying the same thing after Sky Sports' US-style half-time interview with Martin Odegaard during Arsenal's showdown with Man United
Sky Sports viewers have had their say on Martin Odegaard 's half-time interview during Arsenal 's showdown at Manchester United - but not many were impressed. Odegaard was put on the spot during the interval at Old Trafford after the Premier League were granted greater behind-the-scenes access, including player interviews during live coverage and cameras filming inside dressing rooms, this season. A new four-deal domestic TV deal worth £6.7billion came into effect this month and both Sky Sports and TNT Sports are believed to have wanted more for their money. Despite the traditional 'Big Six' reportedly pushing back against the sweeping US-style changes, Odegaard found himself in front of the microphone with his side leading 1-0 after Riccardo Calafiori capitalised on Altay Bayindir's gaffe. Arsenal's captain shared his thoughts on the first 45 minutes of the game, but viewers were almost unanimous in their belief that the segment was a step too far. Posting on X, one user said: 'Don't like this American-style half-time interview thing at all. Just let the players be @premierleague.' "It's been a bit too hectic... we need more control!" Martin Odegaard shares his thoughts at half-time at Old Trafford with Arsenal leading... 🗣️ — Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) August 17, 2025 Another wrote: 'Ridiculous. Players shouldn't have to do an interview at half-time when they need full focus on the game.' A third added: 'Interview at half-time? We never asked for this.' A fourth posted: 'This rubbish half-time interview is just codswallop. Shouldn't they be recuperating and taking instructions? 'They are trying hard to ruin football by introducing all this nonsense.' A fifth said: 'Odegaard giving a half-time interview ffs. Nobody needs this. 'The team however do need their captain in the changing room as we need to figure out how to improve 2nd half.' During the interview, which lasted around a minute, Odegaard had told Sky Sports: 'They have quality and really good players up front. I think we let them play through us too easily at times, but also we had a lot of space up front. 'When we regained the ball and we got to run and counter. We just need to be a bit more clinical in those moments and we will have chance to score more. 'It has been a bit too hectic at times. So much space. It's too open. 'We need to control it a bit better and be more compact without the ball. When we get the ball we need to pick the right moments and be more accurate when we counter.' As part of the enhanced broadcasting package, touchline interviews with substituted players are also set to be introduced during coverage this season. Furthermore, camera operators will be allowed to briefly enter the field of play to film close-up celebrations after goals during live matches. Similar elements are a regular feature of sport in the United States, but they have rarely been seen during events in the UK.

Jade Thirlwall admits 'daily battle' to not take Ozempic after cruel comments
Singer Jade Thirlwall has revealed that in the past, she has considered taking Ozempic after some social media users shared cruel comments about her weight Jade Thirlwall has revealed she's facing a 'daily battle' to not take Ozempic after receiving comments on social media about her weight. The 32-year-old has previously been open about her years of struggling with eating disorders, and despite being the healthiest she's ever been, she's still having to deal with scrutiny about her weight. But in a heartfelt admission, the Plastic Box songstress has revealed that she's considered medication in the past to deal with her weight. Speaking in a new interview, former Little Mix singer Jade said: 'I have a daily battle with myself not to go on Ozempic. 'I don't judge people that do, but because I have a history of eating disorders, I don't know where taking something like that would end for me. 'Now I'm in my 30s and the healthiest I've ever been, but every time I post a picture, there are comments saying, 'She must be pregnant.'' It comes after one TV star admitted she sleeps in separate bed to partner as she fumes over pregnancy. Jade added to The Guardian: 'The sad thing is that it's usually women. But people are used to seeing me in a group environment five or 10 years ago when I was stick-thin because I was in my early 20s with an eating disorder.' Although some people use Ozempic to aid weight loss, it is not licensed for this and should only be used by people with diabetes to aid their symptoms. This isn't the first time the ITV star has opened up about her weight struggles and the constant scrutiny about whether she's pregnant. Her Little Mix bandmates Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock have gone on to have children, and fans are constantly asking her when she'll become a mum. The singer, who has been dating Rizzle Kicks star Jordan Stephens for five years, said she finds the speculation about her being pregnant 'invasive'. She starred on ITV's The Assembly earlier this year and expressed: 'The thing that annoys me the most is 'Am I going to have children, am I pregnant? 'I find it weird that people ask that, as they don't know what my circumstances are. You don't know if someone can't have children, they don't want to or aren't ready yet." She shot to fame on The X Factor in 2011, where she and the rest of Little Mix became the first female group to win the show and went on to have a successful career before the band went on a hiatus in 2021. Jade launched her own solo career last year with hit single Angel of My Dreams, which won best song at this year's Brit Awards. This year alone she's performed at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend Liverpool, Capital's Summertime Ball, Glastonbury and BBC Proms. During her Glastonbury set in June, Jade took the opportunity to give a shoutout to her former bandmates Perrie and Leigh-Anne as she got emotional. Jesy Nelson was also part of the group originally, before her departure in 2020. While performing at the music festival, the singer said: "Firstly, shout out to Little Mix. I can't begin to explain how grateful I am to those girls for literally changing my life and who would have thought then that we would have a Little Mix girlie up here on the Glastonbury stage. But I can't lie, it feels good doing my own songs that I've written from my heart." She continued: "That was the old me, now it's time for something new." She then told the crowd she would bring out some special guests, as she welcomed Confidence Man to the stage. Jade also used her performance to boldly express her disdain for Reform UK while delivering a rousing rendition of her hit FUFN. The track, an acronym for 'F*** you for now', features a segment where JADE reels off a list of things she'd like to give the middle finger to. During her set, she chanted: "Reform! Transphobia! Selling arms! Genocide!", with the crowd echoing back a resounding "F*** you."
