Here’s a recap of the standout moments from the unforgettable music extravaganza at Worthy Farm in Somerset. The highly anticipated mystery band, The Churnups, turned out to be none other than the legendary American rockers, Foo Fighters. Fans were treated to an electric performance on the iconic Pyramid stage on Friday. Front man Dave Grohl kicked off the set with their hit song, “All My Life,” and the rest of the setlist included crowd favorites like “Best Of You,” “Learn To Fly,” and “The Pretender.” The band even welcomed new drummer Josh Freese after the tragic passing of Taylor Hawkins last year.
It’s been 25 years since Foo Fighters first graced the Glastonbury stage, and their performance drew the attention of other musical giants. Sir Paul McCartney, joined by his daughters Stella and Mary, was spotted enjoying their show. Rock legends Slash and Duff McKagan from Guns N’ Roses, British singer Rick Astley, and actress Kate Hudson were also among the audience.
Dave Grohl jokingly remarked, “You guys knew it was us this whole time, you knew it. We’re not good at secrets,” addressing the surprise element of their performance.
Adding to the star-studded lineup, Hollywood actress Cate Blanchett took to the Glastonbury stage on Friday with US pop-rock duo Sparks. Blanchett, who also appeared in their music video, joined Ron and Russell Mael for a performance of their recent track, “The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte.” Sporting the same yellow suit and red earphones as in the video, she brought an extra sparkle to the festival.
The Mael brothers expressed their gratitude for working with Blanchett, stating, “We met Cate Blanchett in Paris at the Cesar Awards last year, little knowing that a year later, one of the great actors of our time (and a splendid person!) would graciously consent to lending her bootie-shaking skills to the first video from our new album, The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte. Dreams really do come true. We will sleep well tonight knowing that forever we can say we co-starred in a film with Cate Blanchett!”
On a different note, Joe Wicks, known as The Body Coach, got the crowd moving and grooving on Friday at midday. He led a warm-up session and a 25-minute workout on the Gateway stage. Attendees showed up in various outfits, from sequined skirts to kilts, ready to break a sweat. Some even sported fancy dress costumes, with a group of friends dressed as Where’s Wally.
As the festival continues, Saturday’s headliners on the Pyramid stage will be none other than Guns N’ Roses, with performances from Lizzo and Lewis Capaldi leading up to their set. Singer Lana Del Rey will take the stage on the Other stage, while The Pretenders, who have promised to bring some special guests, will perform on the Park stage.
