Who are The Churnups? Mystery band playing Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage that has music lovers speculating

A mystery band will take to Glastonbury's famous Pyramid Stage on Friday night. Festival fans were sent into a frenzy trying to work out who it will be, but it seems we now have an answer.

The lineup for the 51st edition of the Somerset festival features a band called The Churnups, set to play the main stage at 6.15pm ahead of Royal Blood and headliners Arctic Monkeys. But eagle-eyed music fans were quick to work out that such a band doesn't exist, leading to the conclusion that Glastonbury organisers are hiding a special surprise act behind the cryptic name.

Since the full schedule was revealed at the end of May, people have been sharing their theories about who the mystery act will be - and there are some options that seem more plausible than others.
