Lorde ‘pretty keen' to ‘pull some strings' and make Glastonbury appearance
This draws speculation as to whether the singer from New Zealand, who does not feature on the official line-up, will play during one of the slots marked TBA.
The full scheduling for this year was announced earlier in the week and includes sets from Irish rap trio Kneecap and singer Charli XCX, as well as headline performances from British pop band The 1975, Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop singer Olivia Rodrigo.
Asked if she would be playing at the festival, Lorde told Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 2 show: 'You know, I'm pretty keen, honestly.
'I feel like, because the album's going to be coming out, I am quite tempted by what's going on, because I've got lots of friends playing as well. We'll see if I can pull some strings and get there.'
The 28-year-old is friends with a number of singers including Brat star Charli XCX, who is playing the Other Stage on the Saturday night.
Earlier in the year, the British singer played at US festival Coachella where Lorde made an appearance to perform their collaborative version of Girl, So Confusing.
The singer, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, has played at Glastonbury before and performed on the Other Stage in 2017 and the Pyramid Stage in 2022.
Asked what it was like to walk onto the Pyramid Stage, she said: 'Absolutely unbelievable, enormous. I was shooketh at the scale. So many cameras … oh goodness. So beautiful, so amazing.
'In 2017 we played the Other Stage, which was so amazing, that was kind of sunset and very moody and just the best. It's the best festival in the world.'
The singer shot to fame with her chart-topping single Royals in 2013, which was included in her album Pure Heroine.
She has since released the albums Melodrama (2017) and Solar Power (2021), with her fourth studio album, Virgin, to be released on June 27.
Glastonbury is running from June 25 to June 29 with performances from the likes of US rapper Doechii, UK singer Raye and veteran rocker Sir Rod Stewart, who will be playing during the coveted legends slot.

King Charles 'excited' by incredible but 'baffling' discovery at Windsor Castle
King Charles recently discovered a 'cache' of Leonardo Da Vinci drawings in Windsor Castle, but was surprised by the reaction of his family King Charles reportedly made an intriguing discovery in Windsor Castle that left other members of the Royal Family utterly perplexed. A new documentary suggests that as a young man, the King enjoyed exploring the library to uncover its secrets. Author Mark Lane told the documentarians: "Charles used to love rummaging through the library." However, on one occasion, Charles stumbled upon something extraordinary. Royal commentator Ingrid Seward revealed: "He discovered a cache of Leonardo Da Vinci drawings in the royal library and he was so excited." Royal journalist Emily Andrews reported that Charles was so captivated by the iconic sketches that he showed them to his family, but their reaction was not what he anticipated. She elaborated: "He apparently absolutely loved them and then went back to go and tell his family what he'd found and he was met with bafflement and bemusement." This insight into Charles' relationship with Windsor Castle comes ahead of a significant reception at the estate later this month. On June 12, the King will be joined by five other royals including the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Royal. However, Queen Camilla is not on the list, and no explanation has been provided for her absence, according to the Daily Express. At the upcoming event, 197 British businesses are set to be honoured for their accomplishments in four categories as part of The King's Award for Enterprise. Meanwhile, it isn't just Windsor Castle which is seeing a visit by the King, but Balmoral Castle too as plans were announced to open it to the public following a successful trial run in 2024. A statement on the official Balmoral Castle Instagram read: 'Following the historic opening of the castle's doors in the summer of 2024 — for the first time since its completion in 1855 — we are once again delighted to offer exclusive private tours, guided by our experienced team. "Journey through history, from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's purchase of the Balmoral Estate to the present day. "You'll have the rare opportunity to view a selection of rooms within the Castle that are still used by Their Majesties The King and Queen, as well as other members of the Royal Family." King Charles is breaking with tradition by being the first modern-era monarch to make Balmoral accessible to the public, unlike his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, who kept it as a strictly private retreat.

But now he has broken his silence on the infamous "well done, he's 13" gag from Neville Southall. 6 Michael Owen showed his ruthless finishing in the 1999 video Credit: YouTube 6 He famously celebrated the goals Credit: YouTube 6 Neville Southall quipped the famous phrase 'well done, he's 13' Credit: YouTube Owen featured in a Michael Owen Soccer Skills video in 1999 where he faced a young goalkeeper at an empty Stoke City stadium. The former England striker did his best to humiliate the 13-year-old Jamie Hutchinson, who was given goalkeeping tips from Southall. To his credit, Hutchinson did make some saves. But the video is remembered for Owen chipping, rounding and firing past the helpless child between the sticks - before shamelessly celebrating each finish.

Southall said: "Well done, he's 13," a comment which remains a viral sensation and etched into British football heritage. But now, 26 years on, Owen has opened up on the clip - and revealed not all was quite as it seemed because he was told to play up for the cameras.

He said: 'Being the goalkeeper on a programme headlined by a striker wasn't exactly ideal for me. 'It was made clear that it wouldn't make good filming if the goalkeeper was saving all the shots taken by the other kids after they had been coached by Michael.' And even Southall himself did defend Owen's actions earlier this year. The 92-cap Wales goalkeeper - who reunited with Hutchinson a few years ago - added: "I think he was being ironic to be fair, but I think he was enjoying himself and being ironic. 'But the poor kid, he scored a squillion goals past him and I was thinking 'give him a break'. 'On the day, Michael was okay and he's always okay.
