Jordan was appearing live on Arsenal 's pre-match show when the presenter declared the big news. Kemp stated: "You're playing Glastonbury this year." The alarmed singer noted: "I haven't actually announced that yet…" The DJ corrected himself: "You're not playing Glastonbury this year..."

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. Got a story?
