Fans are convinced he will be making a 'surprise' appearance at the huge music event - especially as he has done it before.
Amanda was backstage at a gig by rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs when she bumped into the Foo Fighters legend.
After grabbing Dave for a photo, she shared it on social media and told her followers: "Well I'll be damned. Not who I expected to run into backstage at the Yeah Yeah Yeah's show in London tonight, but look, it's Dave Grohl.

She added: "We shared a sweet conversation mostly singing the cosmic praises of Melissa auf der Maur, whose magnificence truly obscures both of us.
"It was really
nice
to meet you, Dave."
Writing on Reddit, fans have been quick to make the connection between Dave's trip to London and
next
week's Glastonbury Festival.
In 2023, a mystery act called The Churn Ups caused a stir when they featured on the Pyramid Stage bill.

One wrote: "Dave Grohl is in London, likely will be at the festival. Has done bits with John Fogerty in the past and other acts. Surely will be popping up at places this year?"
Another replied: "Drumming for Alanis Morrisette possibly? Tribute for Taylor Hawkins?"

And a third added: "100% will be milling about - I'd say a couple of guest appearances are a safe bet. Maybe Alanis for a song or Neil Young for an encore."
The Foo Fighters' surprise Glastonbury set in 2023 was the first time the band had been at the festival since headlining in 2017.
It was also their first major gig in the UK following the death of the band's drummer Taylor Hawkins, who passed away in March 2022 aged 50.
Taylor had joined The Foo Fighters in 1997 and, prior to that, was the drummer on Alanis Morrissette's tour.
