The Last Shadow Puppets tell us about their secret Saturday set

27 June 2008 - Its been confirmed that The Last Shadow Puppets will play on the Park Stage at Glastonbury on Saturday night (28 June).

It will be a surprise appearance from the band, featuring Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner and The Rascals' Miles Kane.

The Rascals have already played the Left Field Stage on Thursday (26 June) and the Other Stage on Friday (27 June).

"We are going to do a little acoustic set, me and him (Alex Turner) and our friend John on keys," said Kane.

Turner has been in the VIP bar backstage and confirmed he will be playing on Saturday. Arctic Monkeys headlined Glastonbury in 2007.

Kane added that he's looking forward to seeing The Ting Tings and Glasvegas.

Meanwhile, Emily Eavis has spoken about her hopes for this year's festival - and she believes the slower sales have drawn a different crowd, though she reckoned it was still on course to sell out.

Eavis said: "It's been one hell of a rocky road this year, but we are so pleased to be on this high and nearly be there with the tickets.

"There has been a bit of backlash - and to be honest part of that is what we needed, because last year we couldn't live up to that hype. We think it's totally amazing, but nothing can live up to a build-up like that."

She added: "The spirit is so high, I really haven't experienced an atmosphere like this at Glastonbury for such a long time.

"It's a different crowd, I think we might have lost some people who aren't real Glastonbury people, and we've got a really brilliant distilled Glastonbury audience. They're young and old, there's a complete mix of people. There are a lot of first-timers."
