Glastonbury surprise guest band ‘confirmed’ after BBC webcam gaffe


Glastonbury Festival 2023 kicks off today with Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses and Elton John headlining.

Yet as is often historically the case, there are the occasional surprise guest performances.

Over the years this has included Lady Gaga performing a secret set to a lucky 400 fans back in 2009.

There have even been rumours of Harry Styles and Foo Fighters showing up this year.

And now the BBC webcam live stream of Worthy Farm has appeared to announce one surprise guest.

One mystery slot is at the Park Stage on Saturday from 7:45-8:45pm, which appeared to have been filled by the BBC webcam.

Following the already announced Tinariwen and before Leftfield are The Pretenders.

The band, formed in the 1970s with hits like I’ll Stand By You and Don’t Get Me Wrong seems likely, especially with what else they have on this summer.

Chrissie Hynde’s band are also set to support Guns N’ Roses at Hyde Park British Summer Time at the end of the month.

And interestingly the band are set to perform on Saturday at Glastonbury, the same night that Axl Rose and Slash are headlining.

As it stands that 7:45pm slot at the Park Stage on Saturday night remains TBC on the official Glastonbury website.
