Both Twitter accounts set up have shit header pictures so very much doubt either is genuine 

That's exactly what made me suspicious, it's not hard to take advantage of hype like this and make a quick twitter account to stir the pot.

I think @obeliskairlines isn't a twitter account owned by the band, it just looks off.

The band are following it so I imagine it's genuine

There are definitely more than 4 of the obelisk airlines tickets a couple in our group have them.

They're following Obelisk Air, but I have a feeling that's just to do with them having a FF image as a profile picture, maybe they just think it's a fan page?

Do they live in the southwest? Also got Glastonbury tickets?

SW London

So then, on Thursday Foo Fighters fans in the Frome/Somerset area get an invite to low key gig. While they're in the area, Davey Grohlton and the lads pay a visit to Worthy Farm and film a funny announcement video, possibly involving them stepping off that plane all ready to rock out. Someone says "I think we're a bit early" Zoom out to show the naked Pyramid, possibly some cows, and a message plastered on the screen saying FOO FIGHTERS TO HEADLINE GLASTONBURY! 

Seems plausible right?

It's like you've written it yourself.

Doubt it - they were the first account to follow it

A planning application has now been submitted to close the Cheese & Grain car park on Friday......something is definitely going down.

That's the first we know of that isn't from the SW. Don't suppose they have links to the SW, or the person who secured their tickets come from that way?

Is this online? Presumably there would be a licence application too

Is a designated public car park or something, or is that they want to build a temporary structure on there? Seems odd to need planning just to shut your own car park.

No SW links, both have tickets for the festival (separate bookings).

It's a public pay and display carpark....largest in town.

I hope the application gets rejected and this elaborate plan goes down in flames and they pull out, replaced by Kendrick Lamar.

Curious. Still, no reason why everyone with a boarding pass has to come from the SW.

Ah, that makes sense.

Don't know how quick they update it. Could be under something else if it's a public car park.

I found this:     Erection of a poultry house (Building B).

is this related to the famous Blue Chicken?

The outside space neighbouring the cheese and grain is massive, could easily have a mini outdoor type festival! Very intrigued as to what is / isn't going on...

Yeah, I was just looking on streetview. It's much bigger than I had imagined.

Planning site has nothing new, latest thing is from April 2015:

" Change of use of upper floors of northern end of building from former/ storage/ loading of goods (now unused and inaccessible) to music recording studios, with extension to the west to form internal access stair, lift and canopy. 
Alterations to the exterior on the north western elevation including new canopy and day time entrance to the Cheese and Grain Market Hall. "

Cheese and Grain busy most Fridays , so why not this one? car park maintenance?

I looked at their listings earlier, they do have several other Fridays with no event?

[Inconspicuous]

Rang the cheese and grain earlier and they said it is apparently booked for a "private event". 

I said I'd heard Foo Fighters were playing and the lady said "have you?" but did't deny it. Just kept telling me it was booked for a private event.
