Yesterday, the noughties indie band took to the Other Stage for a set which included all of their greatest hits.
As revellers sang along to their top tunes in the sweltering heat, they then got a welcome surprise.
Poking fun at all the talk about “surprise sets” at Glastonbury, lead singer Alex Kaparanos said: “One of the things I love about Glastonbury is the rumours. You know, all the gossip that goes around.”
Continuing he then revealed the band had their own surprise for the fans up their sleeve.
“You may have heard a rumour that a fellow Glaswegian who goes by the name of Capaldi,” Alex told the crowd.
“Well, Glastonbury, it gives me great joy to say that these rumours are true. He is here with us tonight. The original Capaldi – Peter Capaldi!”
Fans went wild to say the least as Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi walked on stage.
Revellers then couldn’t believe what they were seeing when the Time Lord joined in with the band to sing their famous hit, Take Me Out.
NOT THE ONLY CAPALDI AT GLASTO
As Franz Ferdinand pointed out, Peter wasn’t the only one of the Capaldi family at the Worthy Farm yesterday.
The actor’s nephew Lewis, 28, joined in on the action for a surprise set on the Pyramid Stage – at the same time as he was on stage with Franz Ferdinand.
Strutting on stage for his surprise set, he told Glastonbury revellers: “I’m back baby” as he made a triumphant comeback to the famous festival.
The Scots singer made his long-anticipated return to the festival two years after he broke down on the very same stage.
Lewis, who has Tourette’s, took a two-year hiatus from performing after his 2023 Glasto set saw him tear up and suffer repeated tics.
But he made an emotional return as he swaggered onto the stage yesterday as a crowd of more than 100,000 people chanted his name.
The singer told fans the past two years had been “difficult” but admitted he had unfinished business to resolve.

He said: “Glastonbury, it’s so good to be back. I’m not gonna say much up here today because if I do, I think I’ll probably start crying.
“But I said it’s just amazing to be here with you all, and I can’t thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me.”
Making light of his 2023 performance, which he was forced to cut short, he said: “Second time’s a charm on this one, everybody.
“It’s just a short set today, but I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn’t finish the first time.”
Festival-goers when then treated them to the surprise 35-minute set with hits like Before You Go and Hold Me While You Wait.
Introducing his new song, Survive, which dropped this week, Lewis said: “I released a new song. The last two years haven’t been the best for me. It’s been quite difficult at times.
“I wanted to write a song about overcoming that stuff and getting to the other side of it.
“This has been my f*****g goal to get here. This song’s about that.”
