Everyday there is a new theory about who will play at Glastonbury this year, and today it is US band Haim.
The American group, who are based in Los Angeles are made up up three sisters - Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim.
Known for songs like Summer Girl and Lost Track, the band have been thrilling fans since 2007.
Today they announced a set of UK dates, which fans are convinced will include a surprise spot at Glasto.
The dates include just one UK gig in June, which is in Margate, while the rest are in October.
Fans think this means this concert will be a warm up for Glastonbury.
Taking to Reddit to discuss, one fan said: "Yup. This has been all but confirmed for months now."
While another wrote: "Was just about to come and post this.. one off gig in Margate on Friday 27th = Glasto secret set on Saturday / Sunday?"
This one added: "Seems pretty likely.... otherwise it's odd that they'd play a one off gig in Margate in June and then nothing else in the UK until October."
Pop star with global hit says she's signed up to play Glastonbury
GLASTONBURY LINE-UP
Glastonbury 2025 has a star-studded line-up, including The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, Neil Young, Rod Stewart and Charli XCX.
They will be joined by an array of music royalty, both new and old, on Worthy Farm between June 25 and 29.
Sir Rod Stewart will perform his classic tracks in the legends slot, while up-and-comers like Lola Young will entertain the younger generation of festival-goers.
Loyle Carner is headlining the Other Stage on the Friday, while Charli XCX is performing on the same day as godfather of grunge Young when she tops the second stage.
Dance legends The Prodigy will close the Other Stage on Sunday.
It'll be party vibes with Raye and US rapper Doechii coming to the farm, while Deftones and Amyl and the Sniffers will get the mosh pits going.

RESALE BACKLASH
Glastonbury Festival is notorious for being one of the hardest festivals to get tickets to.
Fans were left fuming after they failed to bag themselves a ticket in the famous resale which always happens in April.
Final sales for the Worthy Farm extravaganza were up for grabs on Sunday - but were sold out within 20 minutes.
The official Glastonbury X account explained: "On a morning of incredible demand, all of the tickets in today's resale have now been sold.

"Thank you to everyone who bought one, and sorry to those who missed out."
Disgruntled fans complained on the social media site: "I do not think #glastonburyfestival cares about their fans anymore given the comments this morning. The festival does not seem to be what it once was."
"Absolutely gutted, got through to the payment page in around 18 mins and then it said sold out," shared a sad user.
"This is b******s, Glastonbury. Not been able to get tickets for 6 years!" vented an angry fan.

"New ticketing system is a joke. The old system worked," complained someone else.
"Please reinstate the old system. This year has been ridiculous. Four tries and didn't get anywhere near close," moaned another.
Tickets were released in November but sold out within 35 minutes
Glastonbury takes place from June 25 to June 29.

Princess of Wales makes hands-on visit to examine museum's exhibits
Princess of Wales makes hands-on visit to examine museum's exhibits Kate visited the new V&A East Storehouse in London's Stratford to learn about its "order an object" system The Princess of Wales is shown around the V&A East Storehouse, a brand-new cultural destination in east London (Image: © 2025 PA Media, All Rights Reserved ) The Princess of Wales marvelled at the "eclectic" collection of the V&A when she ordered and touched its exhibits like members of the public. Kate visited the new V&A East Storehouse in London's Stratford to learn about its "order an object" system where paintings, furniture, books and sculptures can be requested and a room set aside for viewing with staff. With a keen interest in the arts and a love of the natural world, she choose a number of items themed around nature, a large William Morris samples book, rolls of ornate textiles and a musical instrument for the private moment. More than 500,000 creative works, from individual items to whole collections like the Glastonbury festival archive, are stored at the site, the majority of the V&A's collection. Kate, patron of the V&A, told its deputy director and chief operating officer Tim Reeve "it's so eclectic" as they stood in a huge space housing objects around them adding: "It's all part of the process of displaying and curating." The princess wore a smart trouser suit for the visit to the storehouse in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and wore stiletto heels despite the attraction's website advising on flat shoes as the "metal grid flooring is not suitable for stilettos or kitten heels". Article continues below Mr Reeve said later about Kate: "It's clear today she really loves the idea of what we're trying to do, show that back-of-house world and to be a member of the public seeing that behind-the-scenes experience is what this is about. "She's obviously fortunate to see quite a bit of the back-of-house world, but I think she really understood today that she was sharing it with the public, everyone is seeing the same space, everyone has that privileged access to our collection." Commenting on the items Kate had asked to be shown, he added: "I did have a look at what was laid out, and some amazing things as always, an amazing musical instrument, there's lots of stuff that's related to nature. "One of the things I saw that she'll be super interested in is this big William Morris fabric sample book, it's an enormous thing and you can sort of flick through." Items stored at the site include a drum kit used by Keith Moon, former drummer with The Who, examples of Queen Elizabeth II's dresses designed by Norman Hartnell, and from September David Bowie's archive, donated by his estate, will be available. She began her visit by viewing with V&A director Tristram Hunt a table, wardrobe and corner cupboard designed by art historian and artist Roger Fry, who influenced the Bloomsbury artists, and made by his Omega Workshops. Later Kate put on a purple rubber glove to handle a 19th century female riding habit – skirt, waistcoat and jacket – and marvelled at its red colour as she touched its lining and was also shown an Alexander McQueen dress coat. Photographer Sarah Duncan talked Kate through the process of taking an image of ballet shoes worn by Alicia Markova, when she danced the lead role in the 1934 production of Giselle, and was told "you want scratches to shine" as the image would document the item. In another part of the building, the princess chatted to Christina Juan, lecturer and head of the Philippines department at the School of Oriental and African Studies, who happened to be in the room next to Kate's private viewing and was examining delicate fabrics from the Philippines. Article continues below The lecturer was studying turban scarves from the 1850s and said later: "I told her they were made from banana leaves. She was just surprised at the sheerness of the cloth and asked was it still made." She said about the process of seeing the items: "It's amazing I can just go online and order – it's very easy, like ordering an Uber."

Jaffa Cake lovers have complaint at they admit 'something's changed'
McVities Jaffa Cakes first arrived on the scene almost 100 years ago but recent fans of the sweet treat have expressed their disappointment after sampling them and coming to the same conclusion Jaffa Cake fans have shared a common complaint after spotting a 'difference' in the sweet treat's overall taste. The popular McVities snack is a quintessential British favourite. They're made up of a sponge base with a layer of orange flavoured jam topped with dark chocolate. They were first concocted almost 100 years ago, with many supermarkets and stores up and down the country creating their own versions of Jaffa Cakes. For many though, only the original McVities Jaffa Cake will suffice. The trusty treat is often found in the biscuit aisle, though it is legally considered a cake after a 1991 VAT ruling. Recently, one Jaffa Cakes fan picked up a pack in the supermarket after a few years of not having indulged in one. On Reddit, they explained they didn't 'even wait to get home' before opening the box and tucking in. Sadly, they soon regretted their choice, branding them 'dry'. They explained: 'That 'spongey' bit? It's not the same spongey bit I remember growing up. It's like drywall. 'Well, drywall is a bit far, but it ain't no sponge. I had three, just to make sure I wasn't going crazy, and they were all the same.' Once they got home, they offered them out to friends who agreed with their assessment and 'all said the same thing', convinced they're 'just not the same'. They then asked their fellow Reddit users: 'Has something changed? Have false memories allowed me to remember an absolutely supreme experience whilst munching on these delights? Or have they just decided to change the whole recipe to save a few quid?' They added: 'P.S. The absolute kings of the knock-off Jaffas used to be M&S. I don't dare try them now in case they've followed suit and sucked all the moisture out of theirs as well.' In the comments section, people shared their thoughts - and it seems the majority agree. One Reddit user observed: 'I used to think as you get old your taste buds change or you grew bigger but no, they f***ed with the sizes & recipes.' Another claimed: 'Off-brand Jaffa cakes have been superior for a few years now. Aldi ones are pretty good, M&S too'. Someone else complained about the size of Jaffa Cakes: 'They used to be 12 but now 10 in a packet. They have shrunk as I can easily get one in my gob as 20 odd years ago I would struggle. So that's 10 mouthfuls for me.' And another lamented: 'I'm actually starting to get p***ed off with how literally everything in the shops is crap. McVities Jaffa Cakes are a premium brand, if I am buying them I want the premium quality that ought to come with the premium branding. 'But no, I'm paying a premium price for a fancy box containing a worse tasting and smaller product than Aldi own brand. Might try them again in a decade.'
