Glastonbury 2023 theories: All the secret sets and rumoured performing artists at the festival

Glastonbury Festival 2023 is happening right now and already the theorists are spiralling trying to work out which secret artists will be performing sets this year.

We already know this year’s line-up, with Elton John headlining as he stops touring for the last time. We are also expecting to see Lizzo, Guns N’ Roses, Mel C, Lana Del Ray and loads more. In the midst of all the hype though, festival goers are starting to expect the unexpected and suspicions are rising about who the secret performers are.

Here’s a rundown of all the musical artists and famous people set to take the stage at Glastonbury, according to rumours and zero concrete evidence.

Harry Styles

2023 isn’t the first time Harry Styles has been rumoured to play at Glastonbury Festival. Harry has a gap in his current touring schedule as he completes his Love on Tour shows across the UK and Europe. He finished his leg in the UK last night at Cardiff and now isn’t performing again until 24th June in Belgium.

Loads of people are suspecting him to come out and perform at Glastonbury this year.

Elton John to bring out Britney Spears

Okay, this one might be a bit far fetched but it is his final tour so why the hell not go for it? Britney Spears and Elton John released a duet together last year, Hold Me Closer dropped in August 2022 and it’s the perfect Glastonbury bop if you ask me.

Foo Fighters

The dads are going to be buzzing with this one. Foo Fighters posted a cryptic message online recently. A handwritten note appeared on their band Twitter account and their fans are convinced it’s all leading to them ripping up Worthy Farm.

The Pretenders

This year’s Glastonbury Ticket showed the band’s name pop up on screen in a time slot which fits one of this year’s TBA acts on the Park Stage. Slay!
