Foo Fighters might not have been able to attend Wednesday night’s NME Awards, but that didn’t stop them from stealing the show with a rather important announcement - they're headlining Glastonbury.
Dave Grohl and his bandmates were accepting their Best International Band award in a pre-recorded video, when the frontman shared the news.

“We're very thankful and very happy - sorry we couldn't make it tonight, but we will be seeing you over the summer at some big outdoor festival that nobody knows we're playing,” he stated, according to the BBC. “It's Glastonbury. So we'll see you at Glastonbury - thanks a lot everybody."
The news was then confirmed on the Glasto Twitter account.
