Last week, fans went wild when it was announced that The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, and Neil Young will all headline the famous Pyramid Stage this summer.

These huge acts will be joined by other members of music royalty, both new and old at Worthy Farm between June 25 and 29.

However, fans are still speculating there are other acts still to be released.

They are now convinced that noughties Indie band Wombats will be playing the iconic festival.

Hailing from Liverpool, the group are known for songs like Greek Tragedy and Let’s Dance to Joy Division.

It comes after the group revealed they were heading back out on tour this summer.

Discussing this on Reddit, one fan said: “Thought the Wombats be a shoo-in with their new album and them touring (playing Liverpool June 19th), wonder if a band of this size could get announced later on?”

Another agreed: “I think they’ll play Other stage first band of the festival!”

This fan added: “I’m also praying for a Wombats announcement!

“You’d think it’d be likely.”

BIG LINE-UP
