James Murphy and co took over the Pyramid Stage at the annual music festival, kicking off their set with their hits such as ‘Oh Baby’, ‘I Can Change’ and ‘On Repeat’.

At the beginning of their set, the Foo Fighters frontman was spotted standing at the side of the stage watching the NYC band play to a massive crowd. This marks the third year in a row Grohl has appeared at the Worthy Farm music festival.

Elsewhere in the side stage section, Gallagher was also spotted sporting thick black frames and his signature straight-faced look. “Why Is Noel Gallagher Backstage At Glastonbury Watching LCD Soundsystem,” tweeted one viewer, while another shared: “Haha, Noel Gallagher on side stage trying to learn how it’s done watching LCD Soundsystem at Glastonbury!”

Well well well… look who’s side of stage for LCD Soundsystem….

Rattled by the sight of Noel Gallagher watching LCD Soundsystem on the Glastonbury coverage. The only person present not moving even slightly. Just the stiffest prick in the world.

In other Glastonbury news, Kings Of Leon have been seemingly teasing a secret set at this year’s edition of the music fest.

Today (June 28), the band have taken to social media to share a video of their performance at Worthy Park in 2008. In the accompanying caption, they teased that they aren’t too far from the festival grounds: “Had a great time at Glastonbury in 2008. It’s only a short trip away from our little gig at Hyde Park…”

Elsewhere, Kenya Grace covered Britney Spears, Daniel Bedingfield and more during her first-ever Glastonbury set.
