Three shocking secrets at Glastonbury festival including X-rated locations and low-key gig few know about
The Glastonbury Festival, which is currently underway, is best known for hosting world-renowned music acts, its infamously muddy fields and its laid back vibe. But now a TikTok creator has revealed three locations at the festival that most people are likely unaware of. The content creator, called @adrenalinefuelled, shared the locations in a video on the platform titled 3 Secret Things at Glastonbury. Accompanying the clip was a short caption which read: 'Do you know this?' The video featured video footage of various areas of the festival while a voice over described what the moving imagery was showing. It started showing what looked like a run-down building called 'Atlantic Meats', which had what appeared at first glance to be animal carcasses hanging outside the front. According to the voiceover: 'This is a gay club - you can probably guess from the subtle hints scattered around. 'You're only allowed in if you've got a mustache, but you can buy one for £2.50 at the door.' The creator provided some additional x-rated information about the club - including the presence of a 'pitch black' room which is 'full of people, mainly men, getting very friendly with each other'. Festival goers interested in attending the club should head to block nine where they can find it, he added, noting: 'Just go when it's dark and bring a mustache.' Moving onto the next little known location, he said: 'Another unique place is this Lost Horizon sauna. 'So most people in here are wearing completely nothing, but you are allowed to wear clothes inside. 'They've got showers, swings, they've got trampolines [...] it's also got a stage with artists performing all day, so you can sit there with nothing on and watch someone perform, which is a really unique experience, so I hear. 'If you fancy it [it's] in the teepee field. So grab a look. ' Finally, he moved onto the third lesser-known place: the secret Piano Bar. 'If you walk to the top of the field with the stone circle in it, you'll see this fence, and it's through there,' he said. 'No one really knows when it opens. But just wait around there when it's dark and you will have a strange night. You never know what you'll be seeing there.' Many people who want to attend the festival find it impossible to get their hands on the highly-valued tickets, so it used to be somewhat common for people to try and sneak in for free, by finding a weak spot in the festival's fence and leaping over for an entirely free weekend of music. However, since security was seriously beefed up in 2000, those attempting to do the same when Britain's biggest music festival kicks off on Wednesday could find themselves serving time at HMP Glastonbury. The Somerset festival, started by Michael Eavis in September 1970 and now in the hands of his daughter Emily, has security that's more expensive than that afforded to the royal family, reports The Times. Some 200,000 people have descended on Worthy Farm this week, with the average ticket price costing around £380 to see the 2025 headliners - The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo. However, those who try and find other ways to enter the 1,000 acre-site without paying will first have to penetrate Glastonbury's 7.8km fence, which towers 4 metres high. At various points around the site, there are also watchtowers, with security staff keeping an eye on goings on both inside and outside of the perimeter. Security is likely to be a major priority for Emily Eavis this year after hundreds of people snuck in with fake wristbands, costing just £50, and by vaulting the fences in 2024, causing stages to be shut down from overcrowding.

Glastonbury's mystery act Patchwork - likeliest stars performing under fake name
Fans attending Glastonbury Festival have been speculating who could be performing on Saturday evening as an unknown band called Patchwork are expected to take to the stage Glastonbury festivalgoers will be entertained by a mystery act on Saturday night as a band that had never been known of before have been given a plum slot. A band called Patchwork are due to take to the main stage on Saturday night at 6:15pm. However, music fans have been left scratching their heads over who the act could be. The slot has been granted to the band with John Fogerty and Raye performing the slots on either side of the set. With prolific artist performing around the mystery act, most fans are convinced it is a fake name for an established act. Glastonbury has a track record of hiding big name performers behind fake band titles. In 2023, Foo Fighters performed on the Pyramid Stage - taking fans by surprise because they were billed as a band called The Churnups. So far at the 2025 festival, Lorde and Lewis Capaldi have both taken to the stage while not previously being advertised. Now speculation is rife as to who will take over the slot at 6:15pm - with a number of big name acts linked to the performance slot. Pulp Legendary Brit-pop band Pulp are the hot favourites to be the performers taking to the stage. The band is fronted by Jarvis Cocker and major singles include Common People and Disco 2000. Equipment belonging to the band has been spotted at the Glastonbury grounds, leading to the expectation they will perform to the crowds. A source told The Mirror: "I spotted the sound engineer box with Pulp's name on as they were setting up during the Kaiser Chiefs set." While social media account SecretGlasto, which has built up a reputation for confirming secret Worthy Farm acts for the past ten years, has previously declared that Pulp are the secret performers. Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson Former One Direction star Harry Styles was spotted enjoying the sunshine and music at Glastonbury Festival on Friday afternoon - sparking hopes he might perform while he is at Worthy Farm. The star was spied at the festival alongside bandmate Louis Tomlinson - who is also attending with his new girlfriend Zara McDermott. While some fans might hope both or one of the singers will entertain the crowds, it appears Louis is there purely to enjoy himself. A source told The Mirror: "Louis is determined to make it a weekend to remember and has planned everything with military like precision - including making sure enough booze is available. He has his own tent - and one just for the drinks. "Everyone is saying it's a nice break for him and Zara but it's a great way also for Zara to meet his mates. It will definitely be a boozy one and not a particularly romantic one." Chappell Roan American pop princess Chappell Roan fuelled speculation she could be attending Glastonbury under the name Patchwork after she made a telling comment to BBC Radio. After the 2025 lineup was revealed, some fans questioned if the act could refer to the star - who wore a pink patchwork suit to the Met Gala. In a recent Instagram post, she shared a photo of herself posing with a large patchwork throw that she had made out of different coloured material. The singer, whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, shared the image which was part of a collection of photos that she captioned: "Insane vibe." Robbie Williams Former Take That star Robbie Williams seemed happy to tease that he would be appearing at the festival at some point over the weekend. On Friday he shared a social media post with the simple caption: "30 years later..." This appeared to be in reference to his appearance at the festival back in 1995. It was while there that Rob was snapped partying with Oasis's Liam and Noel Gallagher. This changed perceptions of the star among pop music fans and some of the squeaky clean boy band glow began to wear off him. He quit Take That soon after and went on to launch his successful solo career.
