Glastonbury Festival 2023 kicks off today with Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses and Elton John headlining.
Yet as is often historically the case, there are the occasional surprise guest performances.
Over the years this has included Lady Gaga performing a secret set to a lucky 400 fans back in 2009.
There have even been rumours of Harry Styles and Foo Fighters showing up this year.
And now the BBC webcam live stream of Worthy Farm has appeared to announce one surprise guest.

One mystery slot is at the Park Stage on Saturday from 7:45-8:45pm, which appeared to have been filled by the BBC webcam.
Following the already announced Tinariwen and before Leftfield are The Pretenders.
The band, formed in the 1970s with hits like I’ll Stand By You and Don’t Get Me Wrong seems likely, especially with what else they have on this summer.
The Pretenders have since confirmed on social media they will indeed play the slot, with a message and video.
The post read: “‘It’s always been there for most of our lifetimes. There has never been a festival like it anywhere else.’ – CH. Swipe to see what The Pretenders have planned for this weekend. Saturday, 19:45 BST, The Park. And they’re bringing friends, too….”
Chrissie Hynde’s band are also set to support Guns N’ Roses at Hyde Park British Summer Time at the end of the month.
The band are set to perform on Saturday at Glastonbury, the same night that Axl Rose and Slash are headlining.
