Iconic 90s band 'confirmed' as Glastonbury's secret Patchwork act
There are only two weeks to go until Glastonbury 2025 kicks off and festival fans think they've worked out who secret act Patchwork really is.
Speculation has been growing about the various secret sets across Worthy Farm but it looks like this biggest lineup mystery has been 'confirmed'.
Names like Haim, Harry Styles, Timothee Chalamet, Robbie Williams, and even Oasis have been mentioned as potential performers (despite Noel and Liam Gallagher distinctly saying no).
However, it seems Patchwork's identity has been 'confirmed' by popular Glastonbury hint account SecretGlasto.
According to the anonymous tip poster, none other than Pulp will be taking to the Pyramid Stage in that primetime slot of 6.15pm on Saturday, June 28.
SecretGlasto shared a video of a patchwork quilt and someone using a sewing machine before cutting to clips of Jarvis Cocker and Pulp. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKrJkFfiRI-/
Formed in Sheffield in 1978, Pulp grew in popularity in the mid-1990s, firstly with their 1994 album His 'n' Hers and its follow-up Different Class.
In the background clips from recent interviews with the Common People hitmakers discussing Glastonbury — and Candida Doyle's love of Patchwork.
While speaking to Jo Whiley, the 61-year-old musician shared: 'I used to do patchwork when I was on tour and I made a really nice bit of patchwork, that's all I can think of right now.'
Then there's frontman Jarvis, 61, who confirmed he will be going to Glastonbury this year for a DJ set at the Stone Bridge bar.
However, when pushed by Scott Mills about the possibility of taking to the Pyramid Stage, he said only in a 'life or death situation'.
Fans have taken SecretGlasto's post as fact, with ruwise commenting on Instagram: 'So glad that Jarvis realised that it was a life or death situation for me.'
'Hope this is real?🙌' said kellyknox123 as miaandfam wrote: 'So Jarvis lied to me on @bbc6music then hey? 😮.'
'Better not be a stitch up,' added james.wilford, with some mystery still surrounding an account for Patchwork which has not been verified.
'Still dont think it's pulp…… on the 'patchwork' account the date is in american format….. would pulp say 'ya'll' on a post like americans do,' said shepherd_ali.
Stuartbrown12 replied: 'That patchwork account could be run by anyone, the blue tick doesn't mean anything these days. Secret glasto is usually right about these things.' More Trending
SecretGlasto does have a tendency to be correct, although not always — in 2023 they said James Acaster was doing a secret set but it was not the comedian.
The popular account did apologise for the confusion, but we'll happily excuse one error every so often.
Pulp have just returned with new music and a tour, although it is bittersweet as the band lost bassist Steve Mackey in 2023.
The Babies hitmakers themselves have not confirmed anything, but they're unlikely to say either way until the big day — watch this space.

Beaming Sophie Turner flashes her abs in low-rise trousers as she lands in NYC after showing support for her ex-husband Joe Jonas
Sophie Turner was all smiles while arriving at JFK Airport in New York City on Saturday. The Joan star, 29, flashed her toned midriff as she opted for a casual look including grey low-rise trousers. The English actress completed the casual but stylish outfit with a bomber jacket and Adidas trainers. Sophie carried the essentials in a large black tote bag and shielded behind a pair of shades for her arrival in the US. Her sighting comes after the GOT favourite recently hinted at where she stands with her ex-husband Joe Jonas, less than two years after their contentious separation. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The couple had a Las Vegas wedding in 2019 and welcomed two daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, two, over the course of their marriage. In September 2023 Joe filed for divorce, plunging the couple into a rancorous legal battle that played out dramatically in the headlines. Ultimately, they reached a legal settlement one year after Joe submitted court documents to dissolve their brief union. But in a recent Instagram post, Sophie has revealed how their equation has evolved by showing support for her ex-husband's new album. The Game of Thrones actress, shared an image of his new album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, on her Instagram Stories earlier last month. She captioned it, 'Go go @joejonas.' The album officially dropped on Friday, May 23. Sophie and Joe began dating in 2016, got engaged in October 2017 and got married on May 1, 2019 in Las Vegas before splitting in September 2023. Earlier this week, Joe, 35, gave some insight into what he feels was the scariest part of getting divorced. Joe gave insight into divorce and his love life during a TalkShopLive stream on May 21. At one point, the performer talked about the track Only Love from his album Music For People Who Believe In Love. 'I was seeing somebody at the time and I was kind of having this idea of dating again,' Jonas recalled. 'It was really scary and intimidating. Love takes different shapes and forms and I was rediscovering what that was.' Joe remembered that someone he was dating - and whom he did not name - had simply told him, 'Well, it's only love. 'I was like, 'Well, when you put it that way…' So we wrote a song about it. Like, it was not a big deal, but it was a big deal to me, and a big deal to them, too.' The former Disney channel star added, 'But it's okay to take a leap of faith and just try again and put yourself out there.' In 2023, it was revealed that Joe and Sophie had split - with their divorce being finalized in September 2024.
