Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters have been unmasked as the mystery band playing the main stage at Glastonbury festival.

Rumours were flying around after an unfamiliar name appeared on Friday’s schedule to play the Pyramid Stage at 6.15pm – after Texas and ahead of Royal Blood and headline act Arctic Monkeys. Pulp were another name in the mix.

The game was given away shortly before the big reveal on the Foo Fighters official UK Twitter account (and perhaps Grohl being spotted backstage).

The set opened with the 2002 hit, All My Life.

“You guys knew it was us the whole time, didn’t you?” laughed Grohl. “It’s nice to see your faces again.”

A mini-greatest hits set also included Learn To Fly, The Pretender and Best Of You.

Of Hawkins, Grohl told the audience: “We wouldn’t be here without him.”

The American rock band are also dropping a brand new album in June, titled But Here We Are, and coincidentally had a huge Glastonbury-sized hole in their touring schedule.
