Fans were absolutely enamoured with the Australian producer’s performance.
One wrote: ‘Good morning to Cate Blanchett only.’
Another penned: ‘Obsessed with the woman that is Cate Blanchett.’
One Sparks fan chimed: ‘Insanely jealous of everyone who gets to see Cate Blanchett [doing the dance] live.’
A Twitter user said: ‘Just the iconic Cate Blanchett performing at Glastonbury.’
One fan addressed the blonde beauty: ‘Cate Blanchett you are the moment.’
Sparks consists of brothers Ron and Russel Mael who have previously explained they met Cate Blanchett in Paris at the Cesar Awards a few years ago.
‘We met Cate Blanchett in Paris at the Cesar Awards, 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,’ they said previously.
While this was a welcome surprise, disaster struck another set on Friday night as the Arctic Monkeys were reportedly forced to stop their headline show amid concerns for a fan.
The band took to the iconic Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm for a 90 minute set, which was criticised by fans for being ‘boring’ as they’d seemingly ‘slowed down’ many of their hits.
However, the performance was said to be halted by the band to allow help to be given to a fan after members of the crowd begged for medical help.
It’s reported that festival-goers used their mobile phones to flag down stewards so they could come to the aid of the troubled fan.
While lead singer Alex Turner and the rest of the group briefly stopped their performance to allow the poorly person to be helped efficiently.

‘Festival goers about 40metres deep from the stage cried for medics, and frantically waved mobile phone lights, to attract the attention of stewards who rushed into the crowd to help.
‘The band briefly paused their set to allow the stewards to deal with the situation before resuming.’
