The Foo Fighters leave fans baffled as they make a surprise appearance on Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage… after the slot was held under the mysterious alias The Churnups
The Foo Fighters left fans completely dumbfounded when they made a surprise appearance at Glastonbury Festival on Friday.
The rock and roll icons shocked festival-goers as they took the stage at The Pyramid for an impressive hour-long setlist, leading Friday’s star-studded performers.
The slot had been held under the alias The Churnups, with speculation over who would actually appear on stage as the truth remained shrouded in mystery.
Fans previously thought the alias referred to Britpop band Pulp, but the Daily Mail then confirmed that it would be The Foo Fighters who would make the surprise appearance.
The Glastonbury crowd went wild as lead singer Dave Grohl stepped on stage, guitar in hand, and the show began.
Festival-goers and viewers at home alike took to Twitter to share their shock at The Foo Fighter’s surprise performance, with some admitting they “screamed” when they came on.

One fan gushed, ‘Actually screamed when Foo Fighters came on! Wahhhhh.’

A third quipped, “The Churnups look and sound suspiciously like The Foo Fighters.”
Another said, “There aren’t many bands these days that I wish I was with Glasto, but Foo Fighters is one of them.”

The Foo Fighters take the stage with new drummer Josh Freese, following the tragic death of Taylor Hawkins in March last year.
