Foo Fighters could finally be headlining Glastonbury this year.

Fans have been receiving mystery post in the form of a boarding pass for "Obelisk Airlines", with a check-in time of 6pm tomorrow (February 21), with the band's logo on the other side.

So will Dave Grohl and co be announcing Glastonbury tomorrow, or is it for something else entirely? Fans are certainly hoping it's the former.

The band of course had to pull out of their 2015 headline slot after Grohl broke his leg, and Glastonbury boss Emily Eavis told Digital Spy back then that she would love to have them come back in the future.

It would certainly fit the tease from Emily that announcements are coming soon for Glastonbury 2017: "Some time in March, and there might just be a little thing before."

Foo Fighters' 2017 festival dates so far seem to suggest they could be heading to Worthy Farm.

They're playing Denmark's Roskilde Festival in Copenhagen on June 30, a day after their headline set at Poland's Open'er, meaning they'd be on this side of the Atlantic and fully rehearsed for Glastonbury between June 21-25.

Foo Fighters last played Glastonbury way back in 1998, where they were beneath Primal Scream and James on the bill.

We'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out if they'll be joining Radiohead this year.
