Glastonbury fans convinced huge DJ is performing secret set at festival after spotting him at airport
GLASTONBURY fans are convinced Fred Again will be performing a secret set at the festival.
Rumours began to swirl after several fans reported spotting the DJ at Bristol Airport on Thursday.
Taking to Reddit, one user questioned: “Has anybody heard anything? I know Fred said Reading/Leeds was his only festival this year but someone in the know is adamant he is doing a secret set some time this weekend.”
Responding in the comments, one person said: “Heard he was spotted at Bristol Airport.
A second wrote: “We know he loves glasto and he’s close with Kieran who’s basically become a house dj at Glastonbury so I’d say it’s more likely than not that Fred makes an appearance of some sort on the regular.”
While another added: “Yep same heard he’s doing a couple over the weekend.”
A fourth penned: “Yeah, he’s playing.”
There are believed to be around 28 mystery acts yet to be confirmed for the four-day festival.
This is with further gaps on the Levels stage, Nowhere stage and BBC Introducing stage.
At last year’s festival, Fred Again had tens of thousands of people in the palm of his hand.
His performance featured a mix of his biggest hits and new material – most notably a song he dedicated to his sister, who was in the crowd.
He also whipped out iconic Jungle and heavy hitters like Danielle which sent the crowd into raptures.
Earlier this year Fred Again was voted the best DJ of all time by Gen Z.
A poll of 1,168 respondents, aged 18-24, saw the 30-year-old top the list ahead of superstars Calvin Harris and David Guetta.
Before his breakthrough as a solo artist, Fred earned his stripes as a producer for UK grime acts like Headie One, Stormzy and AJ Tracey.
Then in July 2022, he rose to fame when his Boiler Room session blew up on YouTube.
He used the set to preview a few of his collaborations with Skrillex and Fourtet.
The trio then sold out New York City’s Madison Square Garden, a 20,789-capacity venue, in seconds for a pop-up five-hour rave on February 18.
Ahead of the 2022 Brit Awards, Fred emphasised that touching people with his music matters more to him than winning awards.
In an interview with Mixmag, he said: ‘‘I don’t wanna be disrespectful to [BRIT Awards], but I so don’t care [about winning]! I care a lot more about making the good stuff’
