As we eagerly anticipate the upcoming Glastonbury Festival, music lovers from all around are preparing to embark on their pilgrimage to Worthy Farm for a weekend filled with live music. With headlining acts like Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA, as well as the traditional Sunday Legends slot featuring Shania Twain, those lucky enough to secure tickets are in for a treat. Despite the predicted "wetter than average" weather, fans are excited for the hundreds of diverse artists scheduled to perform.
One of the most exciting aspects of Glastonbury is the promise of secret acts, with big names surprising lucky fans every year. Past years have seen the likes of Foo Fighters, Lady Gaga, and Radiohead's Thom Yorke make surprise appearances. Rumors are already buzzing about who may grace the stage this year, with some bands and artists at the forefront of everyone's minds.
Indie legends Kasabian are currently the most hotly tipped band to perform a secret set at this year's festival. In fact, betting on their appearance has been suspended after a surge of bets placed on the band. Having played at Glastonbury five times before, including a headline set in 2014, it's no wonder they are a fan favorite. With their latest studio album, Happenings, set to be released just a week before the festival, many are hoping they will make a surprise appearance to perform some new tracks.
When it comes to predicting secret sets at Glastonbury, fans often look at tour schedules for any gaps that may hint at a potential appearance. The Killers, who have played at the festival four times, are currently touring their greatest hits album in the UK. Interestingly, they have a significant gap between shows in Glasgow and London that coincides with Glastonbury. With their 2019 headline set breaking records as the loudest in the festival's history, fans are hoping to see them make a surprise appearance once again, just like they did in 2017 on the John Peel stage.
As we eagerly await the full schedule for the festival, many are keeping an eye out for potential gaps where secret sets could take place. Some possible spots include the Greenpeace Stage on Wednesday, the Transgressive Takeover at an undisclosed location on Friday, and the BBC Introducing Stage on Saturday. Will we see any of our favorite bands and artists take the stage and surprise us with their music? Only time will tell.
Speaking of bands that have never played at Glastonbury before, fans are excited about the potential debut of Green Day. Despite their upcoming performance at the Isle of Wight festival, many believe their new album, Saviors, released earlier this year, could be the perfect reason for them to pop up and play some new tracks. With frontman Billie Joe Armstrong leading the charge, it would be a momentous occasion for both the band and their fans.
Could this year's Glastonbury also mark the long-awaited comeback of The XX? With drummer and keyboard player Jamie XX headlining the Woodies stage, and vocalist and guitarist Romy Madley Croft playing a DJ set at the Levels area, fans are speculating that the band may surprise us with a performance. Romy did confirm earlier this year that the band has been in the studio recording, making this year's festival the perfect opportunity to debut their new music. The XX previously performed at Glastonbury in 2010 and 2017, making a comeback all the more exciting.
Of course, there are plenty of other rumored secret acts that could make an appearance at Glastonbury 2024, including Blur, Glass Animals, Hot Chip, Taylor Swift, and Vampire Weekend, to name a few. With the festival just around the corner, fans can't wait to see who will grace the stage and surprise them with their music. As we eagerly await the full schedule, excitement continues to build for what promises to be an unforgettable weekend of live music at Worthy Farm.
