FOO Fighters will headline next year's Glastonbury Festival after the release of new UK tour dates, fans are claiming.

The band has announced a series of stadium shows next June, just days after they played a not-so-secret slot on the festival's Pyramid Stage.

Next year, Glastonbury is likely to run from Wednesday 26 to Sunday 30 June, just after Foo Fighters' last official tour date.

The band, who headlined the festival in 2017, currently has a clean slate following a gig at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on June 25, leaving a Glastonbury sized whole in their calendar.

Fans immediately picked up on it and took to Twitter to speculate about the chances of a fully-fledged headline set.

One wrote: "Foos & Taylor Swift both with Glastonbury size gaps on their UK tours, surely not."

Another said: "Foos in the UK for both Isle of Wight and Glastonbury. Side eyes emoji."

A third posted: "Foo Fighters touring the UK next June, Dave is proper obsessed with Glastonbury now isn't he?"

A fourth asked: "Glastonbury and Download slots available within the tour... WHICH ONE ARE YOU HEADLINING?!"

The band appeared on this year's Glasto bill as The Churn Ups, appearing on Friday afternoon before Royal Blood.

The secret leaked early and the group drew a huge crowd that went wild for the nine song set.

It included an emotional tribute to late drummer Taylor Hawkins before the final song Everlong as well as a duet with frontman Dave Grohl's daughter Violet on new track Show Me How, a tribute to his late mum Virgina.

Presale: Begins on Wednesday, 28 June at 9am BST, ends on Thursday, 29 June at 10pm

BST General Onsale: Friday, 30 June at 9am BST See all upcoming shows here.
