Arctic Monkeys' appearance was under threat earlier this week after lead singer Alex Turner came down with laryngitis.

But after making it on Glastonbury's Pyramid stage, the band was met with criticism from fans.

Hit songs were sang at a slower tempo, making it tough to sing along.

One fan said: "This Arctic Monkeys Glasto performance so far is the most boring show I’ve ever seen."

A viewer added: "Thought arctic monkeys looked dull as f*** on the TV last night. Uninspiring, boring.. yeah. Not for me."

Another said: "Unpopular opinion. Arctic monkeys are probably the most boring headliners to grace thePyramid. Absolute snooze fest."

The Foo Fighters came out to headline the Pyramid stage as a surprise set last night.

Under the guise of the Churnups the American rockers stormed onto the stage, with Dave Grohl running out and launching straight into their smash hit All My Life.

Shouting to the enormous crowds gathered for the set at Worthy Farm, he bellowed, "Hello, motherf****rs," before taking fans through an electric nine song set.

Joking about their one hour long slot, Dave - who first performed at the festival 25 years ago and last headlined in 2017 - said: "We only have one hour so we need to make sure we fit in all the songs we can."

Learn To Fly, My Hero and The Pretender saw the crowds whipped up into a frenzy, as Dave and the band played with furious intensity.

Special moments included Rescue Me from their new album But Here We Are and Dave's daughter Violet, a rising star in her own right, joining the band on stage for Show Me How - the song they wrote together for Dave's mum.

Thanking the crowds for coming to watch their secret set, which was one of the worst kept in Glastonbury history thanks to Dave getting a train to Worthy Farm and being photographed backstage yesterday morning, Dave confirmed the group would be back again next summer.

Grinning he said: "Well its been nice to be here for 58 minutes.

"If you come back we'll come back.

"But we're coming back next summer for a whole f***ing tour so you can see us then."
