With summer just around the corner, our OK! columnist Judi Love says she has no intention of jumping on the "Rat Girl Summer" craze.. Created by TikTok creator Lola, the hot girl summer alternative encourages women to "embrace the rodent energy" and spend the summer scurrying around the streets and "nibbling our little snacks".

Last night, Lewis Capaldi took to the iconic Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury for his first show in three weeks, after taking some time off to focus on his mental health.The 26 year old had previously cancelled all commitments leading up to the festival, citing that “the last few months have been full on both mentally and physically.” While also revealing in his emotional Instagram post that he hasn’t “been home properly since Christmas” and that he’s “struggling to get to grips with it all.” Lewis previously opened up about his mental health and Tourette’s diagnosis - a neurological condition that causes involuntary movements and tics - in his recent Netflix documentary, How I’m Feeling Now, which showed fans a more serious side to the happy go lucky Glaswegian musician. But upon returning to the spotlight ahead of his major Glastonbury slot, Lewis revealed that he had been “sh*t scared” to take to the stage, and that he’ll be taking another break following the festival.

Often regarded as the must-attend music event of the year, Glastonbury is easily one of the most widely renowned and globally recognised music festivals on the planet. From humble beginnings in 1970, the Somerset based festival has grown year on year, with a countless slew of big names taking to the stage to delight fans, including the likes of David Bowie, Dolly Parton, and even Beyoncé.

Sir Elton John will bring on four special guests during his headline show at Glastonbury this weekend, his husband David Furnish has revealed.The Rocket Man superstar will take to the Pyramid stage at Worthy Farm on Sunday night for what has been billed as his final UK gig.

People, he just thought, ‘I’d really like to do something with these artists at Glastonbury’.

Whether you were in the thick of it and soaking up the vibes at Worthy Farm, or you were snuggled up on your sofa watching Glastonbury from the comfort of your own home, chances are, you tuned in for the first major headline show of the festival. Last night, Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Nick O'Malley, and Matt Helders - aka Arctic Monkeys - took to the iconic Pyramid stage for their third headline set, after first securing a main stage slot in 2007 and then again in 2013. For hardcore AM fans, it was a huge moment, with literally thousands of people gearing up for an hour and a half of their biggest hits.

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl dedicated the last song of the band’s surprise set on Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage to their late drummer Taylor Hawkins. The US rock band stormed through a number of hit songs during the hour-long performance – their first time at the world-famous festival since 2017.There had been high speculation that the Foo Fighters would take to the main stage on Friday from 6.15pm in a slot which was billed under the name The Churnups. An hour before the slot, the band posted a photo of flags within the festival crowd, one with the phrase Churn It Up brandished across it, and tagged the post #Glastonbury2023.

Glastonbury Festival on Friday, Foo Fighters took the Pyramid Stage for a surprise appearance that marked the band’s first appearance at the English extravaganza since 2017.It was also the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band’s first full show in the UK since the death of their beloved drummer, Taylor Hawkins, in 2022.Although there were rumors that the ChurnUps were actually the Foos, it wasn’t confirmed until a tweet about an hour before their set.“You guys knew it was us the whole time, didn’t you?” said Foo frontman Dave Grohl. “It’s nice to see your faces again.”And then Foo Fighters launched into an hour-long set that included hits such as “All My Life,” “Learn to Fly,” “The Pretender” and “Best Of You” as well as short covers of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” and the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage.”“We’ve only got one hour so we gotta make sure we fit in all the songs we can,” said Grohl. The set included a slow, stripped-down version of “My Hero” that many felt was a tribute to Hawkins, who actually received an official dedication on “Everlong.”But he wasn’t the only dearly departed loved one that the Foo Fighters remembered at Glastonbury.

Glastonbury 2023 has been in full swing all weekend, and a new high standard for tents has been set. Since kicking off on Friday, it's become clear that a little pop-up number just doesn't quite cut it anymore! One particular festival-goer has even ditched his rusty old sleeping bag for, you heard it, an entire double bed.The Glastonbury fan took to Twitter to show off his rather plush set-up, which featured a white wooden bed frame with a comfortable mattress, duvet, and pillows on top.The social media user uploaded a photo of his impressive bedroom, which he said was "worth" the effort.

Emily Eavis has revealed that Sir Elton John finally performing on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury is the event she is really looking forward to during this year’s festival, saying: "I think that’s going to be a very special moment for everybody."

Not only that, festival-goers also get to enjoy performances from Arctic Monkeys, Manic Street Preachers and Guns N' Roses, as well as Lana Del Rey, Lizzo and The Chemical Brothers.

Emily Eavis has said she’s confident the Arctic Monkeys will play Glastonbury, but that they “have a couple of back-up plans” just in case.The band cancelled their Dublin show slated for June 20 due to frontman Alex Turner dealing with an acute case of laryngitis. The announcement came just days ahead of their scheduled headline performance at this year’s Glastonbury on Friday (June 23).Eavis, the festival’s co-organiser alongside her father, told reporters at the gates of the festival’s opening day (June 21) that she believes the band will still headline on Friday despite Turner’s illness.“I think we are going to be all right.

When 17-year-old Jo Whiley set off for somewhere called Glastonbury after a raucous sixth form party, she had no idea the festival would come to define her next four decades. In the early 80s, Jo was studying for her A-levels and had plans to train as a speech therapist. What actually happened was rather different — and much more glamorous, in a muddy sort of way.

Lewis Capaldi has cancelled all his upcoming gigs for the next three weeks, taking some time to rest and recover before performing at Glastonbury Music Festival later this month.

Scheduled to perform in Leeds and at Capital's Summertime Ball this week, the hitmaker took to the stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Dundee just last weekend and is set to head Down Under to continue his tour in July.

Lewis Capaldi has announced that he has cancelled all work commitments until his performance at Glastonbury in order to “rest and recover”.The singer released a statement today (June 5) explaining that the last few months have been a lot for him and it has taken a toll on him “both mentally and physically”.“This is a really difficult message and one that hurts me a lot to have to type, but I’m really sorry to say that I’m going to have to cancel all commitments from now until I play Glastonbury on June 24th,” Capaldi wrote.

Glastonbury 2023 ticketholders are speculating online over a prominent mystery slot on the Pyramid Stage.Today (May 30) the full line-up and stage times were revealed for this year’s festival, which is due to take place at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset between June 21-25. Joining the bill were the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age, The Hives and Ben Howard.But the main talking point surrounding the extensive schedule is a slot occupied by an unknown act, The Churnups, on the opening day of music (June 23).They are billed to perform on the Pyramid Stage for an hour and a quarter (6:15pm-7:30pm BST) ahead of Royal Blood (8:15 pm-9:15pm BST) and headliners Arctic Monkeys (10:15pm-11:45pm BST).Initially, many fans on Twitter and beyond claimed that the pseudonym belongs to Pulp – who recently began their 2023 reunion tour. Jarvis Cocker and co are currently free over the Glasto weekend (see their full list of gigs here).As fan account Glastobation – and numerous others – pointed out, “when something is churned it becomes Pulp”.Since the widespread rumour began circulating, however, Pulp drummer Nick Banks has taken to social media to deny any link to the slot.“Though it’s very tempting to tease you lot again.

Elton John has spoken about what fans can expect from his headline set at Glastonbury Festival 2023.The legendary artist is due to top the bill on the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset on Sunday, June 25.Upon announcing the performance last December, organisers said: “This will be the final UK show of Elton’s last ever tour, so we will be closing the Festival and marking this huge moment in both of our histories with the mother of all send-offs.”Speaking on BBC Radio 2 this afternoon (May 30) – shortly after Glasto revealed its full line-up and stage times for this year – John gave Scott Mills some details about the forthcoming historic set.“I have played festivals, and have really enjoyed them,” he explained. “But of course Glastonbury is the crème de la crème.“To be honest with you, it’s the first time I’ve been asked to play it.”John continued: “It’s just come at the right time.
