Glastonbury’s organiser teased Sir Elton John’s star-studded set will be an ‘amazing’ experience.
The Pyramid Stage at the Worthy Farm festival – which kicked off on Thursday – is set to host the 76-year-old icon on Sunday night, for what is billed to be his last ever UK performance.
There has been chatter for some time over his set, with whispers of Britney Spears being his star Glastonbury guest, but it turns out there will be more than just one.

While everyone including Sir Elton’s husband David Furnish has kept shtum, Emily Eavis, who runs the festival, has teased what we can expect from the Rocket Man hitmaker.
‘We have so many artists playing here and often we don’t have much direct contact. But Elton has been very involved and we’ve worked really closely. He’s so excited and engaged with what Glastonbury is,’ she told Glastonbury Free Press.
She added: ‘He’s been carving out a set that’s going to be completely unique to Glastonbury. I love his love for doing that. I don’t want to give anything away, but it’s going to be amazing.’
The Tiny Dancer musician will give a historic performance to close the 2023 festival tonight with a show that has been billed as the final UK gig of his farewell tour.
Fans are convinced that Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney could be one of the stars making a surprise cameo.
‘Paul McCartney watching the Foo Fighters secret set at #Glastonbury23 … sticking around to play with Elton John on Sunday? What else are the rumours apart from Britney Spears?’, one person tweeted.
As well as Sir Paul and Britney, other possible guests who could surprise the crowd include Dua Lipa, who collabed with the Your Song hitmaker on pop tune Cold Heart.
Billy Joel, Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Eminem, and Olly Alexander have also been suggested, so whoever walks out on that stage really will be a total shock.
