Glastonbury 2025 is in full swing, with The 1975 bringing an emotional, but definitely not political headline set on Friday night.
Lorde and Lewis Capaldi both made surprise appearances on Friday.
Today (Saturday, June 28), Patchwork was revealed to be Pulp, and Haim confirmed a surprise 7.30pm appearance on the Park Stage.

Have any secret sets for Glastonbury 2025 been confirmed?
When the full Glastonbury schedule came out last week, a number of acts appeared as ‘TBA’ or under false names on the lineup. The rumour that Lorde would appear at Woodsies on Friday turned out to be true, as did the one about Lewis Capaldi turning up for the 4.55pm Pyramid Stage slot.

As for who they will be, this won’t be confirmed until either very close to the time, or when the act comes out on stage.
Who are the most rumoured acts for secret sets this year?
Haim, Pulp and Chappell Roan have all been rumoured for the remaining secret sets Glasto 2025.
Jarvis Cocker and co. are strongly tipped to be ‘Patchwork’ on the Pyramid at 6.15pm on Saturday. At their O2 gig on June 23, Pulp, who have just released a new album More, reportedly said they had ‘a big secret to share’. Could that be an appearance at Glasto?
However, some fans are convinced that Patchwork is actually pop superstar Chappell Roan, after the singer posted a photo to Instagram earlier this week holding a patchwork blanket.
Word is that Haim are the secret guest on the Park Stage at 8.30pm on Saturday. Their fourth album I Quit is due to be released on June 20, a week before Glasto. When asked by BBC Radio 2 about the rumours, Haim replied: ‘Well, we’re playing Margate. We’ll be in the area.’
Whispers of Timothée Chalamet, who would be performing the songs of Bob Dylan with tribute band Not Completely Unknown on the Acoustic Stage on Saturday, have been pretty much ruled out.
Other acts rumoured include Olivia Dean and Rachel Chinouriri at Strummerville, enigmatic electronic duo Two Shell at Babylon Uprising (call +44 73512 57957 to hear a mysterious message about that), CMAT at BBC Introducing, and Fat Dog, playing under the alias ‘Yessir’ at Strummerville.
Which secret acts performed last year?
2024 was pretty sparse when it came to surprise sets at Glastonbury. Kasabian was the only big act to perform in a TBA slot last year.
How do you find out about surprise sets?
The Glastonbury app will be updating punters with news at the festival, sometimes sending notifications just minutes before the set. Otherwise, it will be good old-fashioned word-of-mouth. We also recommend following Secretglasto on X for up to date news and alerts.
