Mystery as huge billboard goes up outside Glastonbury Festival – and fans think it's a hint at secret set

The large white banner features a cryptic message in red text which says: 'I've had my share of Monday mornings when I can't get up.'
It also included a mobile phone number. When one Reddit user contacted the number, they said they got a response to sign up to a "scam" investment scheme.
The billboard was spotted by a festival-goer queuing early for the gates, who shared a photo to Reddit with the caption: 'Does anyone know what this is about / who's it for?
'Just got here to queue for gates opening and haven't seen anyone mention it. Give me ya theories!!!!'
One fan was quick to point out that the same sign appeared in Glasgow recently, fuelling rumours that Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi - who made a surprise return to the stage in May after a hiatus - may be planning a surprise return on one of Glastonbury's stages.
The Someone You Loved star, who has been diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome, was forced to take a break from music after struggling to finish his set at Glastonbury in June 2023.
The legendary festival officially opens today at Worthy Farm in Somerset, with headline performances scheduled from June 27 to June 29.
This year's headliners include The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo.
Elsewhere on the bill are major acts like Charli XCX, Loyle Carner, Rod Stewart, The Prodigy, Doechii, and Raye.
Earlier this month, the full festival schedule was released — but fans noticed several TBA slots still in place.
Foo Fighters make surprise Glastonbury performance as The Churn Ups
Now they have a new theory about who else could make a surprise appearance at the legendary festival.
On the 2025 Glastonbury schedule, the Saturday 6.15pm slot has a mysterious act called "Patchwork" pencilled in, and fans have been trying to work out what it means.
It follows a similar mystery in 2023 when Churn Ups were revealed to be the Foo Fighters.
Fans are convinced that Chappell Roan is "Patchwork" after she posted a telling clue on Instagram.

It came after the Pink Pony Club star shared a picture of herself holding a patchwork quilt, and wrote next to it: "Insane vibe."
Dave Grohl also sparked a flurry of excitement after he jetted to the UK earlier this week.
Grohl, 56, sent fans into a spin after posing for a photo with US singer Amanda Palmer at London's Royal Albert Hall.
After grabbing the Foo Fighters legend for a photo, she shared it on social media and told her followers: "Well I'll be damned. Not who I expected to run into backstage at the Yeah Yeah Yeah's show in London tonight, but look, it's Dave Grohl."
The rest of the bill features big-name acts such as Charli XCX, Doechii, Rod Stewart, Loyle Carner, The Prodigy and Raye.

British pop superstar makes huge comeback with new single out TOMORROW – the same day as his secret set at Glastonbury
'He is firing on all cylinders and there's no doubt this single will go straight to No1' LOOK WHO'S BACK British pop superstar makes huge comeback with new single out TOMORROW – the same day as his secret set at Glastonbury LEWIS CAPALDI will make a sensational return to music tomorrow – with the singer dropping his comeback single. The release, Lewis' first since he put out Strangers and A Cure For Minds Unwell in January last year, coincides with his secret set on the Pyramid Stage at Glasto. 9 Lewis Capaldi will make a sensational return to music tomorrow Credit: Getty 9 The announcement coincides with his secret set at Glastonbury Credit: PA As the gates to Worthy Farm opened to let the first of this year's revellers through yesterday, a source said: 'Lewis took a decent chunk of time away and now he's ready for his fans to hear what he has been working on. 'Tomorrow is a huge day for him. He will be releasing a brand new single and it is his Pyramid Stage performance. He is in a great place and feels ready to come back into the spotlight.' Lewis' last performance at Glastonbury on that very stage in 2023 ended in tears, with the Someone You Loved star breaking down before cutting the set short. I was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with fans who, like me, were in tears at watching Lew struggling. Afterwards, Lewis told us the performance made him realise he needed to 'spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order'. He retreated from the spotlight but last year started working on new tunes, going into the studio with British singer-songwriter Dan D'Lion, where he was snapped strumming on an acoustic guitar. Then one of my pals overheard him in Gerry's bar in London last October excitedly talking about new music coming this year. Insiders said the new record came together quickly. It will follow his two No1 albums, 2019's debut Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, and Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, which came out in 2023. In March, I caught up with his pal Yungblud, who told me he thought Lewis was back to his best, telling me: 'I have heard his new music and it sounds great.' And it's not just the music which is on point, as Lewis returned to the stage for a secret show at Tom Walker's Calm charity gig in Edinburgh last month. Lewis Capaldi's highly-anticipated comeback -- and who will be Charli XCX's Apple girl? | Showbiz Fix Lewis came on stage after Tom had finished performing and played a six-song set in the Assembly Halls. The show went down a treat and Lew absolutely nailed his six-song setlist. Those close to Lewis' told me he is more than ready to return to the spotlight. 'Lewis is raring to go,' my insider added. 'Naturally there will always be nerves but he feels confident and assured. 'He is firing on all cylinders and there's no doubt this single will go straight to No1, which will give Lewis a massive boost.' We're rooting for you Lewis, and we can't wait to see you back down in Somerset.

And I won't be surprised if Gene and Lennon hotfoot it from the French capital to Glastonbury, as I've seen them letting loose at the festival before. If their resemblance to Liam extends to his behaviour, I'm sure they will be getting up to plenty of antics on Worthy Farm.

'Nearly ten years later, we finally got to it. We're in the midst of touring at the moment, we're still finishing off the touring cycle of this last album.' Gary also dismissed suggestions The Libertines are still 'ramshackle' on stage. He said with a laugh: 'It takes a lot of work to be as ramshackle as we are. Most bands will try and be ramshackle, whilst being extremely ramshackle. We actually work really hard at being ramshackle. 'I wouldn't be in anything other than a well-rehearsed band.'

All other us From start to finish, the show is surprisingly funny, with jokes landing perfectly from Mount Olympus all the way back down to Earth. The all-female gospel singing muses steal the show with their vocals and camp sass. Hades and Meg are also perfectly cast. Along with Phil, they are given a more adult costume, bringing them further into real life. My only gripe is that in doing so, some of the classic Disney magic is lost. Hades' famous flame hair has been replaced with silver locks, while half-goat, half-man Phil is now all man. But the cast make the characters their own and crowd pleasers come from the original film's score. While the new songs may not be instant classics, I'm pretty sure this show will Go The Distance.

Exhibition of Palestinian dress and embroidery to open at V&A Dundee
Thread Memory: Embroidery From Palestine brings together more than 30 historical dresses, alongside veils, head-dresses, jewellery, accessories and archival photographs. The exhibition explores the ways tatreez – an ancient practice of elaborate hand-embroidery – has shaped and expressed Palestinian national identity since the late 19th century and evolved into a form of resistance and solidarity. It also showcases the regional variations in dressmaking and embroidery across Palestine, with the cut, colour, textiles, stitches and motifs on Palestinian women's dress being both a highly skilled craft and a language which reveals who the wearer is and where they are from. Artist Leena Nammari alongside her installation 'Absence does not mean forgetting', which forms part of the exhibition (Jane Barlow/PA) Leonie Bell, director of V&A Dundee, said: 'Thread Memory: Embroidery From Palestine is an exhibition that through research, collections and partnership explores the traditions and material culture of Palestinian dress and the vast range of regional styles that tell important stories about the lives of the women who made, adapted and wore these dresses, jewellery, head-dresses and accessories. 'The exhibition also explores the 45-year-old connection between Dundee and Nablus, a twinning relationship that has brought these two cities together, and it celebrates contemporary Palestinian design and creativity from Dundee, Scotland and across the UK.' The exhibition includes 'spectacular' historical dresses from villages in Gaza – including one that was damaged in the bombing of the Rafah Museum in 2023. Nadia El-Nakla alongside the thobe dress she wore at the Scottish Parliament in 2023 for the swearing-in ceremony of her husband Humza Yousaf as first minister (Jane Barlow/PA) It also features the dress worn by Dundee councillor Nadia El-Nakla at the swearing-in ceremony of her husband, former first minister Humza Yousaf. Ms El-Nakla said she is 'delighted' to welcome the exhibition to V&A Dundee. 'Design and culture are peaceful and powerful forms of resistance and solidarity,' she said. 'Palestinian fashion and dress express ideas about who we have been, who we are and the lives we want to live in peace and with dignity. 'This exhibition is opening at a time of extreme pain and suffering. It's bringing design from Palestine to life and tells the stories of women's lives in Palestine. 'I am proud that my dress, or thobe, that I wore at the Scottish Parliament is there as an expression of my Scottish-Palestinian identity, and as a symbol of solidarity, hope and peace.' The exhibition was developed in partnership with the Palestinian Museum in Birzeit in the West Bank, drawing on local expertise and objects from Palestine, as well as with Art Jameel and the V&A. Thread Memory: Embroidery From Palestine is free and on show at V&A Dundee from Thursday until spring 2026.
