Glastonbury has confirmed that a huge band will play a secret show on The Park stage over the festival weekend.

However, we won't find out who the band is as Glasto are worried they're so big that a leak would cause health and safety problems.

Emily Eavis made the revelation in an interview to BBC6music, saying: “There's a really top surprise on The Park which will definitely not come out because otherwise we'd have a health and safety issue. You can start guessing.”

Pressed for more information, she continued: “I don't think it will ever be announced. It will just happen for those people that happen to be there, hopefully for the people that are fans of the band.”

Our money's on Radiohead. Well, we can live in hope can't we?

  • surely blabbing on that there's going to be a huge group there, is going to attract big crowds and be a health n safety issue any way. my monies on the magic numbers or someone else already playing
