Daft Punk named as bookies favourites for Glastonbury secret show

French robots could surprise us all with a secret set

 

  • Emeli Sande: As inevitable as Glastonbury mud, she always shows up somewhere, somehow. What a fitting name she has - like sand, she gets everywhere.

Glastonbury is famous for their secret sets, with the likes of Radiohead and Pulp catching us off guard with performances at the festival. With the weekend looming ahead of us, Daft Punk have been named the duo most likely to surprise us all.

Rumours have been flying around from Bowie to Prince, but the bookies favourite is Daft Punk. They topped the album charts with Random Access Memories, their first LP in eight years and Nile Rodgers, the Chic guitarist, feature prominently on the album. And Chic ft Nile Rodgers just happen to be playing on the Friday night.

Two other prominent names on the bookies' lists are Kings of Leon, who are stirring up excitement for their new album, out later this year, and also Queens of the Stone Age, whose new album ...Like Clockwork hit number two in the UK and number one in the US.


Radiohead have done two secret sets at Glasto in the past

Either way Glastonbury is going to be a special one this year, after last year's hiatus, great headliners and a not too horrific weather report for the weekend. If the French robots do decide to grace Worthy Farm with their presence, it'll be talked about for a long time.

Below: Daft Punk? QOTSA? Who might play a secret set at Glasto?
