I know nothing of the ‘Churnups’ band. Ok?Over and out. (For now)Other speculation suggests the band Foo Fighters. Fans point to the Seattle Times interview, which reveals that Barrett Jones and Dave Grohl used to be part of a band called the Churn as teenagers, before the formation of Nirvana or the Foo Fighters. Internet media has also pointed out that Over and Out, with which Nick Banks ended his tweet, is a 2005 Foo Fighters song.Some fans have also pointed out Dave Grohl's leg cast in the Churnups teasers, as well as the hawk on the Glastonbury festival posters, which could be a nod to the late Foo Fighters drummer Tony Hawkins.Tiger Brooke@tiger_brookeTHE CHURNUPS - it’s definitely Dave Grohl’s leg cast from 2015… but is it a hint or red herring? 🤔#Glastonbury #foofighters #glasto20231THE CHURNUPS - it’s definitely Dave Grohl’s leg cast from 2015… but is it a hint or red herring? 🤔#Glastonbury #foofighters #glasto2023 https://t.co/XVyqqWjHyYGlastopia@GlastopiaRight... ur not helping me to chill on this Foo's theory and I've been led on all day so might as well continue If anything, maybe it gets so hyped they just have to turn up .. that bird to the right does look like their hawk! #Glastonbury twitter.com/jordanadams1/s…Jed@jordanadams1@BraveSirrrRobin @glastobation @Glastopia The Foos hawk is also on the new official logo (towards the right of the flying birds).

The festival follows a fallow pattern in between three and five editions, a pattern that was set by the 1992 fiasco involving the Travellers, which is considered to be the last nail in the coffin of the British free festivals.The festival has been a source of controversy in terms of its ticketing, following the end of the free festival, with the festival releasing a limited number of tickets compared to high demand. The festival this year has been met with criticism for its all-male headliner sets.
