Arctic Monkeys, the renowned rock band, are still set to headline Friday’s Glastonbury Festival. However, there is uncertainty surrounding their performance due to frontman Alex Turner’s acute laryngitis, which caused the cancellation of a recent gig. Despite this, the festival’s third day will feature a variety of entertainment options, including film screenings, theatre and circus performances, and a debate titled Solidarity with Iran, featuring British-Iranian charity worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
The main stage will kick off with a performance by The Master Musicians of Joujouka, a Sufi trance musicians group from Morocco. Singer-songwriter Maisie Peters, rapper Stefflon Don, and Scottish rock band Texas will also perform throughout the afternoon and early evening. It remains a mystery whether The Churnups, a band listed to perform, could be a cover for the Foo Fighters.
Further along the line-up, rock duo Royal Blood will take the stage. They made headlines recently when singer Mike Kerr called the crowd at another event “pathetic” before leaving the stage. Kerr later clarified that he meant no offense and described his humor as “dry as MDF.”
If Arctic Monkeys do perform as scheduled, it will mark their third time headlining the Glastonbury Festival. However, they recently had to cancel a gig in Dublin after medical advice prompted Turner to rest.
For festival attendees looking to stay active, fitness guru Joe Wicks will lead an exercise class on Friday morning. The weather forecast for the day is promising, with dry and sunny conditions expected and temperatures potentially reaching 25C.
On the previous day, Glastonbury co-founder Michael Eavis made a special appearance on the Park Stage, described by his daughter Emily as a “lovely moment” to kick off the festival. The 87-year-old performed a collection of classics despite recovering from a leg operation. Emily expressed her excitement for Sir Elton John’s performance, as the legendary singer will close the festival with what is being billed as the final UK show of his farewell tour. She also hinted at four surprise collaborators joining Sir Elton, but their identities remain a closely guarded secret.
