Sharing their thoughts on the platform, another viewer commented during the headline set: "Absolute garbage from the 1975." Whilst one person said: "I just don't get The 1975." Prior to the 1975's performance this evening, a source told the Mirror that the band "pulled out all the stops" for their set. The source said: "Everyone was so blown away that Matty, Ross, George and Adam were headlining, but it's no surprise given how loved they are universally." The source added: "They've played Glastonbury before, but this is the boys at their very best and then some. They're one of the biggest bands in the world, and their tours sell out almost instantly, but to see them on the Pyramid Stage in the headline slot, nobody could have expected this." It was teased that fans could "expect a few surprises" during their set at Glastonbury this year. The source had told us: "Everyone behind the scenes has worked so hard to pull out all the stops - fans should expect a few surprises."

This Is How Davina McCall Really Feels About Wet Leg Naming Their New Single After Her
Brit Award and Grammy winners Wet Leg have already won the approval of Davina McCall after naming their new single after her. Earlier this year, the British group teased that a new love song on their upcoming album Moisturizer would be named after the former Big Brother host. The song – named simply Davina McCall – and its accompanying music video were unveiled on Monday, opening with the line: 'I'll be your Davina, I'm coming to get you, fetch you from the station, never gonna let you go, it's that kind of love.' Frontwoman Rhian Teasdale first told The Guardian back in April that the song was inspired by an evening when she was watching Big Brother with her partner. 'I know [Davina] isn't presenting the new one, but it made me think of watching Big Brother as a teenager, and how iconic she was, and that catchphrase: 'I'm coming to get you',' Rhian recalled. Davina is, in fact, already a self-professed Wet Leg fan. 'When we were first starting to play shows, she tagged us in a post and she was at a show with a Wet Leg T-shirt on,' Rhian noted. 'We were all obviously super-stoked.' Reacting to the song, Davina said: 'You've made my life. Bearing in mind I'm a 57-year-old woman, I'm not their natural fan, but I think they are ace: really cool, love the lyrics, love the music, love the attitude. They're fucking amazing.' Davina hosted Big Brother for its entire tenure on Channel 4 between 2000 and 2010, choosing to step away as host when it was picked up by Channel 5 in 2011. In the years since, it's gone through a variety of hosts, and has been fronted by AJ Odudu and Will Best since it moved to its new home on ITV. These days, Davina is known for appearances on shows like The Masked Singer and My Mum, Your Dad, and her interview podcast Begin Again. In 2023, she received an MBE for her services to broadcasting, and the following year picked up the Special Recognition award at the National Television Awards.
