Glastonbury fans convinced huge noughties band will be announced as ‘late performers’ after spotting clue
GLASTONBURY fans are convinced Empire of the Sun will be announced as ‘late performers’ after spotting one big clue.
Many are holding out hope for the additional gig after missing out on tickets for the Australian noughties band’s London show.
A discussion on Reddit saw fans speculating about the possibility of more dates being announced, with some even dreaming of the festival appearance.
The thread in a Glastonbury group was titled, “Any chance of Empire of the Sun being announced later?”
It read: “I held off from buying tickets for their London show and now deeply regretting it.”
One user responded with: “Yes, there’s a chance,” while another added: “Sure, why not.”
Some fans pointed out that Empire of the Sun is already scheduled to perform at Rock en Seine, sparking speculation about other potential festival appearances.
One user shared their excitement: “I’d love that so much. They are touring. I was hoping to see them on the first poster. They are playing Rock en Seine.”
Another fan expressed their hopes for a Glastonbury appearance, adding: “I’m not going but I’d love to see them play Glastonbury. Their music is perfect for the vibe of the festival.”
Someone else said: “Dammmmmm I didn’t even know they still toured. That would be crazy if they did do glasto.”
