The first two secret sets of Glastonbury 2024 has been announced on Wednesday, just hours after Worthy Farm opened up its gates to thousands of festival goers. 

Artist Beans On Toast delighted fans by revealed on Instagram that he would be taking to the Greenspace stage in the afternoon. 

The singer – whose real name is Jay McAllister – told followers he would be performing his next album in full.  

He wrote: ‘Glastonbury, let’s get this started. 4:30pm today on @greenpeaceuk stage. I’ll be playing my next album ‘Wild Goose Chasers’ in full.

‘Take your place in the human race. Beans xxx’

The folk artist started playing in pubs around London in 2005, before going on to release his debut, Standing on a Chair, in 2009. 

Beans On Toast releases his new albums on December 1 every year and also makes a yearly appearance at the iconic Glastonbury festival.

Elsewhere The Sun revealed that another surprise performer is the British rock band Kasabian who will take to the stage on Saturday at 6pm.

Ten years after Serge Pizzorno and the group took to the stages at Worthy Farm, insiders have confirmed that they are booked to play.

A source said: ‘Glastonbury is always a big deal but this year Kasabian really can’t wait, especially as it’s a decade since they were last there.

‘They loved the idea of being a secret act and jumped at the idea when it was suggested by Glasto boss Emily Eavis. The set will be an hour long.

During the weekend a number of surprise artists are set to take to the stage to perform at Worthy Farm. 

In the past at Glastonbury surprise acts have included The Killers, Radiohead and the Foo Fighters. 

This year’s confirmed headliners are Coldplay, Dua Lipa and SZA, with a Legends slot on Sunday afternoon featuring country star Shania Twain. 

Despite the killer line-up football fans will be disappointed after organisers confirmed no Euros matches will be shown in the festival – including England’s upcoming game on Sunday. 

The England match will clash with headliner SZA’s set on the Pyramid Stage which means some football fans may leave before her performance is over.

Before Scotland was knocked out of the competition, festival bosses released a statement saying: ‘In previous years, we have endeavoured to show notable matches on big screens where possible, particularly on days before the main stages have opened. 

‘However, with England and Scotland’s last 16 matches potentially clashing with headline sets at this year’s festival, the decision has been made that – as in 2014 and 2016 – should England or Scotland qualify from their groups, their last 16 matches will not be shown at the festival.’

Organisers added: ‘We would like to wish both Gareth Southgate and Steve Clarke’s sides all the best in Germany. 

‘And we hope we’ll all be able to watch them play quarter-final matches in the days after this year’s festival.’
