Glastonbury is back - yet the mysteries around one of the most famous festivals in the world still remains.
Trying to work out which major star could surprise us all with a performance on the Pyramid Stage.
Each year organisers hold back on revealing every single detail on who we will see facing the stage, and 2025 is no different.
But this year festival fans seem convinced that they have worked out who the mystery ‘Patchwork’ guest is on the 2025 line-up.
Who is Patchwork?
The mystery guest plans to perform on the Pyramid Stage from 6pm to 7pm on the Saturday, and so far a number of big name stars and bands have been thrust into the pool of names being debated.
Lewis Capaldi has been touted as the possible performer as he dropped a new track after a two year hiatus on the evening of Glastonbury.
Chappelle Roan is another contender, after she shared a ‘patchwork’ image on her Instagram account.
Oasis, Pulp, Mumford and Sons, Sam Fender and Harry Styles have also all been mentioned, and fans have their reasons for summarising their guesses.
Named only as ‘Patchwork’ on the official line-up, it has led many to think that - despite their protests - it could be Oasis before they kick off their sold-out arena tour this summer.
One wrote: “Patchwork? Oasis I know they've said no, but that doesn't carry a great deal of weight... Patchwork... Patching things up... might be a bit of a reach but MY GOD it would be good.”
Others pointed to the book named ‘Patchwork’ by author Sylvia Haim, to suggest it would be the band HAIM while others were left convinced it was Pulp following the release of their latest album.
Haim addressed the rumours during a BBC Radio 2 interview this week, telling host Jo Whiley they were going to be “in the area” and that they love playing the Park Stage.
“We love The Park Stage,” Alana Haim said. “The Park Stage is our favourite, ’cause that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury, we got to play The Park Stage. It felt like a movie.
“It was like, ‘What is going on? How did we get here?’ And also just like… you never forget the first time you step onto the farm. And it’s the most insane feeling, I think, that you’ll ever have. But it was an incredible… it’s the best festival in the world.”
Maybe even more clear a link: "Patchwork is a German book written by a novelist called Sylvia Haim"

@glastonbury @secretglasto My literary wife has pointed out that Patchwork is a novel by Sylvia Haim, suggesting the Saturday pyramid slot is none other than @HAIMtheband .... What do you think? #glastonbury2025 pic.twitter.com/QsUvkWFbrP

Hoping Patchwork are Pulp, but the connection to Haim seems quite solid. wondering are they that big a deal to be a secret act? Maybe I'm a bit old and just don't know what's hot 😂

Other guesses included old favourites at Glasto, Coldplay:

But some thought it would be a more out there option, such as Harry Styles, because of a famous outfit choice he once made:
The secret is out. Remember THAT @JW_ANDERSON patchwork knit cardigan worn by THE @Harry_Styles? We're happy to confirm that the #TikTok trending sensation is joining our fashion collection in 2021. Read more here: https://t.co/yhonJ9PdWB#harrystylescardigan pic.twitter.com/ehPSddg3nb

Others were very honest by the fact that they simply do not have a clue:
