Seconds after Glastonbury’s full line-up emerged in May, eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot that one band playing high up on the pyramid stage bill feels a little… mysterious. Sandwiched between Nineties rockers Texas and recent strop-throwers Royal Blood, The Churnups immediately raised suspicion as a completely unknown group with no online presence, in one of the highest-profile slots of the entire festival.
Though a newly-reformed Pulp were touted as possible contenders, their drummer Nick Banks quickly shut it down. "Though it’s very tempting to tease you lot again. I know nothing of the ‘Churnups’ band. OK?” he tweeted. Foo Fighters, on the other hand, have done very little to quell the growing rumours and on June 6, frontman Dave Grohl further stoked the flames by dropping a huge hint.
