Cate Blanchett proved to be the icon that we’ve always known she is after making a surprise Glastonbury appearance.
And no, we don’t mean she was amongst the celebs descending to Worthy Farm for the festival, joining the crowds gathering for the likes of Lizzo and Lewis Capaldi.
Glastonbury crowds on Friday were given ‘a super special treat’ as the 54-year-old star made a surprise appearance onstage with US pop-rock duo Sparks.
The Oscar-winning actress stars in the music video for Sparks’ recent single The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte.
Kicking off the band’s set on Friday on the Park Stage, singer Russell Mael told crowds: ‘Hopefully as many of you know we have a brand new album, it just came out a couple of weeks ago.
‘We have a super special treat tonight.
‘We did a video for this song recently and we had the great honour of having the great actor Cate Blanchett join us – where are you Cate Blanchett?’

Cate then appeared on stage, wearing a yellow suit, green glasses and red, over-ear headphones, to roars from the crowd.
She was actually donning the same outfit she had worn for the Sparks music video.
After displaying a series of energetic moves to the song, which she performed while standing still, Cate took a bow, and left the stage again without saying a word.
Fans were in bits over her moves, with one writing: ‘I could watch Cate Blanchett dancing on this song by Sparks for hours.’

‘What’s not to love,’ someone else wrote.
Another said: ‘Cate Blanchett performing at glastonbury festival was NOT on anybody’s bingo card but here we are!’
‘I just saw Cate Blanchett dance live on stage with Sparks at Glastonbury and it might just be the best thing I’ve ever seen,’ comedian Adam Hills added.
Sparks consists of veteran musicians Ron and Russell Mael.
The pair met Cate in Paris last year, prior to her rampant success during the 2023 awards season for her performance in Todd Field’s film Tar.
‘We met Cate Blanchett in Paris at the Cesar Awards last year, little knowing that a year later one of the great actors of our time – and a splendid person – would graciously consent to lending her booty-shaking skills to the first video from our new album,’ the Mael brothers said previously.
