American rock band drop MAJOR hint they are set to perform surprise set at Glastonbury - after Lewis Capaldi and Lorde shocked festival-goers
American rock band Haim have dropped a major hint they could be performing a surprise set at Glastonbury on Saturday evening. After the line-up for the famous old festival at Worthy Farm was announced earlier this year, Glastonbury revealed set times for the weekend. But while most of the slots were filled by many of this year's most highly-anticipated performers, there were noticeably a few reading 'TBA'. One of those slots is the prominent set time of 7.30pm to 8.30pm on The Park Stage on Saturday night. And after hinting at the possibility of them returning to Glastonbury in a Radio 2 interview earlier this month, Los Angeles-based band Haim - consisting of Este, Danielle and Alama Haim - have all but confirmed their attendance. The group, who boast 1.5million followers, shared a snap of The Park Stage to their Instagram Stories just hours before the unfilled set time. While in an interview with the BBC, singers Este, 39, responded to rumours of a Glastonbury set, saying: 'Well we're playing Margate (on June 27). 'We love The Park Stage. The Park Stage is our favourite because that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury. It felt like a movie. 'It was like, "what is going on? How did we get here?" And also just like, you never forget the first time you step onto the farm. 'And it's the most insane feeling, I think, that you'll ever have. It was incredible, it's the best festival in the world.' Lewis Capaldi and Lorde sent supporters into a frenzy with their surprise sets on Friday. Such was the excitement for New Zealander Lorde, 28, that festival bosses were forced to temporarily close the Woodsies Stage prior to her arrival. But after her show went ahead at 11.30am on Friday, the Ribs hitmaker sent supporters wild as she stripped out of a T-shirt into a skimpy bra while belting out her most famous lyrics. Wearing her jet black hair down, Lorde sported an all-white look for the occasion consisting of a pair of straight leg jeans and a plain T-shirt. 'Moooorning', she greeted the crowd, 'this is sick'. Lewis' return to Glastonbury came later in the day and saw him tearfully declare 'I'm back baby' during his secret set at the Pyramid Stage. The Scottish singer was greeted with cheers from the huge Worthy Farm crowd, two years after his battle with Tourette's left him unable to finish his performance at the festival and led to a career hiatus. Delighted to back in front of an audience he tearfully said: 'Two years ago I wasn't sure if I'd ever do this again, but I'm back baby!'' Lewis sung a number of his famous hits, before once chocking back tears as he performed brand new single Survive, which highlights the difficult period in his career following his last Glastonbury gig. Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of megahit Someone You Loved. In his emotional speech, Lewis said: 'Glastonbury it's good to be back. Won't say too much up here today as if I do I might start crying, but I can't thank you enough for coming here and being with here'. 'Second times a charm hey! It's a short set today but just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't last time, also this was like the worst kept f*****g secret ever'. Following his set Lewis took to Instagram with footage of his perfomance alongside a post which read: 'Glastonbury it's so incredible to be back, thank you so much for having me x' A host of world-renowned performers are still yet to take to the stage this weekend, with Neil Young scheduled to headline the festival on Saturday and Olivia Rodrigo closing out the weekend on Sunday. The rest of the festival will too see performances from The Script, Kaiser Chiefs, Raye, The Libertines, Noah Kahan and many others. WHAT IS TOURETTE'S SYNDROME? Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition characterised by a combination of involuntary noises and movements called tics. It usually starts during childhood and continues into adulthood. Tics can be either be vocal or physical. In many cases Tourette's syndrome runs in families and it's often associated with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Tourette's syndrome is named after the French doctor, Georges Gilles de la Tourette, who first described the syndrome and its symptoms in the 19th century. There's no cure for Tourette's syndrome, but treatment can help to control the symptoms.

Glastonbury 'weren't interested' in Pulp playing in 2025
Glastonbury Festival allegedly "weren't interested" in Pulp this year. The Britpop legends achieved widespread acclaim after their defining headline Glastonbury Festival performance in 1995, which saw them step in for The Stone Roses. Jarvis Cocker and co returned to top the bill on the Pyramid Stage in 1998, before a surprise appearance on The Park Stage in 2011. However, keyboard player Candida Doyle has claimed Michael and Emily Eavis "weren't interested" in the Common People hitmakers playing a set to mark their 30th anniversary. She told BBC Radio 6 Music: 'We wanted to [play Glastonbury], just because it's the 30th anniversary and that kind of thing, and they weren't interested. 'And then we were thinking maybe next year, and then they're not doing it next year.' Frontman Jarvis previously ruled out a Glastonbury return for Pulp - who released their first album in 24 years, More, earlier this month - but suggested he could do an impromptu DJ set. He told Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2: 'I will be going to Glastonbury, and I might DJ. 'Well, you know, I do occasionally DJ at Glastonbury in a place called Stone Bridge near The Park Stage. I will be happy to see what is going on there. Asked if a Pulp set was on the cards, he replied: 'I don't think that's going to happen. If it was a life-or-death situation, but I really don't think it's going to happen.' Neil Young, The 1975, and Olivia Rodrigo are the 2025 Glastonbury headliners. Sir Rod Stewart will play the Sunday afternoon legends slot. Charli XCX, Loyle Carner, The Prodigy, Raye, The Maccabees, Wet Leg, and Doechii and many more will perform at Worthy Farm this weekend.
