The 1975 to headline Glastonbury Festival amid rumours of Lorde secret set
Made up of four school friends, the group, known for songs including Chocolate, Someone Else and About You, is comprised of singer Matt Healy, bassist Ross MacDonald, guitarist Adam Hann, and drummer George Daniel.
The five-day celebration of music and performing arts, which opened its gates on Wednesday, will also see headline performances from veteran rocker Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop star Olivia Rodrigo.
The BBC confirmed on Thursday that Young's Saturday Pyramid Stage set will not be broadcast live 'at the artist's request'.

This year's line-up features a number of acts listed as TBA, as well as a mysterious act called Patchwork, which will take to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday.
Among the music stars rumoured to be performing a secret set is New Zealand singer Lorde, whose fourth-studio album, Virgin, is set for release on Friday.
The pop star posted a picture of the Woodsies stage to her Instagram account on Thursday, fuelling speculation that she could be the act listed as 'TBA' who will be performing at 11.30am.
Earlier in the month, she told BBC Radio 2 that she is 'pretty keen' to see if she can 'pull some strings' and make an appearance at this year's festival.

Other Friday performers include: Irish singer CMAT; hip-hop star Loyle Carner; rock band English Teacher; indie band Wet Leg; and Canadian star Alanis Morissette, who will take to the Pyramid Stage after a TBA act which will be performing at 4.55pm.
Festival goers can expect a clear morning and temperatures reaching the mid 20s centigrade, according to the Met Office.
Spokesman Stephen Dixon told the PA news agency: 'Friday should start relatively sunny, with temperatures reaching into the mid-20s. However, there will be a touch more cloud later in the day and into the evening.'
Friday's line-up of events also includes a Q&A featuring Australian actress Margot Robbie at Pilton Palais and a Mountainhead Q&A with Jesse Armstrong, along with performances from psychedelic rockers Osees and Britpop veterans Supergrass.

Saturday will see Irish rap trio Kneecap, who have seen one of their members charged with a terror offence, perform on the West Holts Stage at 4pm.
Before the festival, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said it would not be 'appropriate' for them to perform their slot at Worthy Farm.
Rapper Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in London in November last year.
Last week, the 27-year-old, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts.
He was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20.
On Thursday evening, the rap trio posted a film they executive produced to social media, titled Stop The Genocide, which includes testimonies from a Palestinian activist and plastic surgeon on the war in Gaza.
Performing in the coveted Sunday legends slot this year is Sir Rod Stewart, who previously said he will be joined by his former Faces band member Ronnie Wood, as well as some other guests.
Sir Rod's performance will come after he postponed a string of concerts in the US, due to take place this month, while he recovered from flu.
Among the other acts expected to draw large crowds this year is pop star Charli XCX, who is engaged to The 1975 drummer Daniel and will perform songs from her sixth studio album, Brat.
She is performing on Saturday night on the Other Stage, 15 minutes before the West Holts stage is graced by US rapper Doechii, another artist who has exploded in popularity in the last year.
Other performers include: Prada singer Raye; US musician Brandi Carlile; Nile Rodgers and Chic; US pop star Gracie Abrams; Mercury Prize-winning jazz quintet Ezra Collective; US rapper Denzel Curry; and rising star Lola Young.
This year, the BBC will provide livestreams of the five main stages: Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park.

Ultimate Glastonbury 2025 rich list reveals star worth jaw-dropping £220M…& singer who claims to make nothing from music
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THOUSANDS of fans are turning up in their droves (and their wellies) for the biggest music festival of the year. But although Glastonbury 2025 got off to a damp start yesterday, music lovers are set to enjoy rocketing temperatures when its dazzling line-up of headliners take to the stage this weekend. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 16 Appearing on the Pyramid stage is an iconic moment for music stars Credit: AP 16 Rod has admitted that playing Glastonbury will end up costing HIM money Credit: Reuters This year will see The 1975, Rod Stewart and Olivia Rodrigo take to the iconic Pyramid stage - with punters paying around £387.50 a ticket. Such is the prestige of Glasto that some acts agree to play there for a fraction of the fee they'd normally command. Bestival organiser Rob Da Bank previously revealed: 'Glastonbury is the one show that artists will play for free or for a reduced price. 'They cap their budget and even the headliners don't get paid more than 500 grand, I think, which is cheap for some of the headliners - and they've had a lot of them.' Though for many of this year's biggest acts, it's not about the money - as their healthy bank balances can afford to take the hit. Here we take a look at the eye-watering fortunes of this year's biggest names. Rod Stewart - £224million The Maggie May crooner, 80, is a festival veteran - and thanks to decades in the spotlight he's built up a pretty hefty fortune. He's estimated to have banked £224million, which is no surprise given Rod has sold more than 120 million records. Part of his huge wealth comes from selling his back catalogue in February last year for a staggering £72million. Rod, who's touring in the US, claims his Legends slot at Worthy Farm this year will actually see him lose money. The pint-sized Glastonbury with healing area and kid's zone He said: 'It was about eight months ago when I was asked to do it, maybe a little longer. But it didn't fit with my schedule because I've got to bring everybody back from America. 'It's going to cost me £300,000 to do it, and they only pay you about 120,000 quid. So it's going to cost me.' He later added that 'it doesn't matter' that he's having to splash his own cash for the show, as the kudos is worth it. Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts - £146.9m 16 Neil last played Glastonbury back in 2009 on the Pyramid stage Credit: Getty US rocker Neil, 79, is headlining the Pyramid stage with his band the Chrome Hearts on Saturday. His fortune is estimated to be around £146.9million according to Celebrity Net Worth. Like Sir Rod he made a wad of cash selling a chunk of his back catalogue for £109million. Neil last played Glastonbury back in 2009, also on the Pyramid Stage, but his return to the festival wasn't smooth. He previously threatened to pull out of the festival due to its BBC partnership feeling like 'a corporate turn-off' but was persuaded to stay on - though his performance won't be broadcast on the Beeb according to the channel's Glastonbury schedule. Nile Rodgers and Chic - £146.9m 16 Neil is adding to his fortune by developing a musical of the Blues Brothers Credit: Getty Blues legend Nile, 72, has also amassed a jaw-dropping £146.9m, reports Celeb Net Worth. And it's not surprising given he's sold more than 750 million albums and 100 million singles worldwide. Nile was also a member of English rock band The Honeydrippers and R&B group New York City, as well as the band Material - all of which will have bolstered his bank balance. Nile is currently working on a Blues Brothers musical set to launch on Broadway before coming to London's West End. A source told The Sun: 'Nile loves the film and jumped at the chance to get on board. 'The whole process is still in the very early stages so it won't be opening for a while but he has officially signed on to the project.' The Everybody Dance singer is also credited with turning queen of pop Madonna into an icon. John Fogerty - £80.8m 16 John made some of his cash renting out lavish properties in California Credit: Getty Best known as the lead singer of Creedence Clearwater Revival, John and his band are performing together for the first time since 2007 at this year's festival. John's music success is believed to have netted him £80.8m - thanks to hit songs like Susie Q, Have you Ever Seen the Rain and Fortunate Son. Outside of his music earnings he's invested heavily in property - one of which in California sold for $20million in 2023, netting more than $11m in profit. Alanis Morissette - £44m 16 Alanis has a huge fortune, despite a business manager stealing from her Credit: Getty Canadian singer Alanis, 51, is the richest woman playing Glastonbury this year, with an estimated fortune of £44million. The Alt-Rock queen rose to stardom with her 1995 album Jagged Little Pill when she was jut 21. But it wasn't an easy road, as she had to deal with rampant sexism. She told The Guardian: 'What I found in terms of the lovely patriarchy, was that at that time if men couldn't f*** me, they didn't know what to do with me.' Most of her earnings come from her 75 million albums sold across the globe. In 2017 she sued her former business manager for stealing $5million from her over seven years. Like John Fogerty, Alanis has also invested in several properties, all of which sold for millions more than she paid for them. Olivia Rodrigo £18.3m 16 Former Disney child actor Olivia wants to be known for her songwriting not singing Credit: Getty Disney child star Olivia is only 22, but she's already sitting on an incredible £18.3m fortune, according to Celeb Net Worth. The Driver's Licence singer is thought to have earned up to £14,563 per episode for her role on High School Musical: The Musical—The Series. She's sold more than four million albums across the UK and USA, plus her two world tours which will have bolstered her accounts. Reacting to her headline slot at Glastonbury, Olivia posted on Instagram: 'Can't think of anything more exciting than headlining Glastonbury but being in the NYT crossword is pretty close.' She previously admitted she wants to be known as a songwriter rather than "the biggest pop star that ever lived", adding: "I worked my whole childhood, and I'm never going to get it back." Danny O'Donoghue, The Script - £11.7m 16 The Script members have made millions over the years Credit: Getty The Script are returning to Glastonbury for the second time and have this time made it to the main Pyramid Stage. Reflecting on the band's journey, Danny told Hot Press: 'It was the story of rags to riches for us. Going from not having two pennies to rub together, to playing Croke Park.' Lead singer Danny is estimated to be worth £11,7million thanks to the band and his TV projects. He is believed to have been paid a whopping £100,000 per series for appearing on BBC's The Voice as a judge. Danny has also taken a share of the profits from The Script, which has sold more than 20million albums. Meanwhile the band's former guitarist Mark Sheenan left £9.4million to his family after his tragic death aged 46 in 2003. Matty Healy, The 1975 - £11m 16 Matty is known for his controversial quips on stage Credit: Getty The 1975 will be playing Glastonbury for the first time this year after years of trying to make it happen. Lead singer Matty, 36, is thought to be worth £11million thanks to the band's huge success. The Manchester-based group are best know for their hits Somebody Else and Robbers, and have sold over two million albums worldwide. Brandi Carlile - £8m 16 Brandi has won six Emmy awards for her music Credit: Getty American rocker Brandi has said playing at Worthy Farm is a dream come true for her. Estimated to be worth £8million, Brandi has been nominated 18 times for a Grammy and taken home six of the prestigious awards. While she is traditionally a solo singer, she did form a county supergroup in 2019 with Amanda Shires and Maren Morris called Highwomen. Ricky Wilson, Kaiser Chiefs - £7.3m 16 Ricky attends the festival when he's not performing as he loves it that much Credit: Getty The Kaiser Chiefs are back at Glastonbury for a fourth time this year, after making their debut in 2005. Frontman Ricky, 47, is understood to have netted himself a fortune of £7.3million thanks to the band's success and his work as a judge on The Voice. He previously claimed he'd only return to the ITV talent show if they offered him a £1million pay cheque. Even when not preforming, Ricky is a huge fan of the festival. He said on Virgin Radio: 'I stayed there for three days and had the best three days of my life.' Raye - £5.2m 16 Raye smashed the Brits record for the number of awards taken home in one night Credit: Getty British pop star Raye, 27, is returning to the Pyramid stage after her debut performance two years ago. Since rising to fame she's thought to be worth around £5.2million -but claimed last year she makes no money from her album sales as she was only breaking even. Her earnings will no doubt be bolstered by her work as a songwriter, with the likes of Little Mix and Ellie Goulding having recorded songs she penned. At last year's Brit Awards Raye smashed records for the most awards taken home in one night with her six. Simon Neil, Biffy Clyro - £2.9m 16 Biffy Clyro are no strangers to performing at the iconic festival Credit: Getty Scottish band Biffy Clyro, made up of Simon Neil and twins James and Ben Johnston, are back for their fifth time at Glastonbury. Frontman Simon, 45, is estimated to be worth just shy of £3million from their success across the globe. And they're cashing in on the festival as they've just announced their new album Futique. Given they've sold millions of albums worldwide, this latest drop is sure to be a success. Pete Doherty, The Libertines - £1.05m 16 Pete has managed to claw back some of his fortune after years of partying Credit: Getty They opened the festival in 2022, and now The Libertines are back at Glastonbury, following their UK tour last year. Frontman Pete, 46, who now lives in France with wife Katia and their daughter, also played the festival in 2005 with his band Babyshambles. He is estimated to be worth around £1.05m by the Daily Mail, despite his money troubles. In an interview with The Guardian last year, Pete admitted he still had debts to pay with the money from the new album. He said: "For me, there are tax bills from 15 years ago. Also, every time I think I've made a bit of bunce, it's gone immediately.' 16 Pete attended the festival with Kate Moss long before he performed there Credit: Getty

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen gives away estate and admits it's 'going very badly'
Changing Rooms star Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, 60, has handed over his sprawling Cotswolds estate to his sons-in-law and invited the whole family to live in "Chateau LLB" Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen has taken the big step of passing his Cotswolds estate over to his sons-in-law, bringing the entire family together under one roof at what he dubs "Chateau LLB". However, the 60-year-old TV personality, made famous by BBC's 90s favourite Changing Rooms, confesses that his "retirement is going very badly" as a result. With a net worth of £8million, the father-of-two has his sights set on handing his flourishing business down to his daughters Hermione and Cecile. The delightfully eccentric grandad labels this move as "commonwealth." Outfitted in a floral print linen suit complemented with sunglasses, Laurence said: "We've worked very hard to make the life we want. After thirty years on television, I've worked very hard to get here. With things now like us all living together and how we've split the house up, which everyone is so intrigued about, that's a decision. "And it is a straightforward decision as far as I'm concerned. It's sharing resources with the next generation - we call it commonwealth - to me it is a very ordinary thing to do." The design maven now savours life on his expansive property with his wife, Jackie, 60, alongside Hermione, now 27, her little ones Romily, two, and one year old Eleanora. Just beyond their verdant lawn, Cecile, aged 30, has made a home with her husband Dan and their young brood Albion, eight, and Demelza, three, reports the Manchester Evening News. Laurence disclosed that he had to convince his lawyer he wasn't being pushed by his sons-in-law to pass on his estate. He revealed: "My son's in law, they're at the beginning of their career, they're starting to do well and that's the point, this is an opportunity for them. "It is my sons-in-law that are rising and it gives me an opportunity to quieten down." Yet with the revamp of 11 Bibury, a new community hub, eatery, and shop in the idyllic Cotswolds village, an undertaking he calls a high point of his professional life, Laurence finds himself energised by the transformation of a dilapidated post office. "That doesn't seem to be happening mind you - my retirement is going very badly," he joked. Laurence has been open about "manifesting" the life he aims for. Addressing his belief in the concept of manifestation he remarked: "I do talk a lot of b******. I know this has become a real buzz word - for me 'manifest' just means you make - you just line your ducks up to make the life you want. ". The refurbishment of 11 Bibury is guided by Lady Anne Evans, who champions it as an "inclusive" establishment. She and Laurence present it as a counter to Soho Farmhouse, neighbours to the Beckham estate in Chipping Norton. Laurence took a swipe at the upscale members' club, labelling it "patronising", and critiqued its superficial rural aesthetics adorned with "a metro design with a thin veneer of countryside and a couple of wellington boots thrown about." He elaborated: "This is kind of my legacy - as well as the fact that Hermione is now running the business." Speaking about his collaboration with Lady Anne, he said: "I've never had the opportunity to let rip before meeting this creature, so she's completely ruined me for all other clients." He mused on his legacy, said: "There is that game that you start playing when you get to 60 which is asking yourself 'what would I like to be remembered for?' And I'm immensely proud of the reach and scope of Changing Rooms - that changed so many lives but if there's one design scheme just taken on its merits - it would definitely be this." The chic simplicity and subdued tones of 11 Bibury evoke a sensation more akin to the South of France than the Cotswolds, a creative choice Laurence admits is intentional. The tribute to William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement within the design is gracefully understated. Further explaining his vision, he declared: "I want people to walk away from 11 Bibury and not feel patronised - I want them to leave and google William Morris - I want them to be empowered by the Cotswolds and not just feel they've been sold a cup of coffee, a tea towel and some fudge, patted on the head and moved on."

Past Lives to The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes – the seven best films to watch on TV this week
With Celine Song's new film Materialists on the brink of release, now is the perfect time to revisit the film that put her on the map. Past Lives is an extraordinary piece of work about a woman forced to re-examine her entire sense of self when an old love reappears, long after she has moved on. It's a film that aches with longing. It's knotty with the mess of cultural identity. All three of its leads do tremendous, heartbreaking work, but Greta Lee deserved an Oscar for her outstanding central performance. That she didn't even receive a nomination is utterly baffling. Nevertheless, consider this an update to Brief Encounter, only with a less infuriatingly paternalistic ending. Sunday 29 June, 10pm, BBC Two Ed Zwick's recent memoir Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions has much to recommend it (not least the astonishing bridge-burning chapter about his involvement with Shakespeare in Love), but chief among its qualities is how much it will make you want to rewatch Glory. Zwick's film about an African American regiment in the civil war is a true epic. The script swings for the fences. Cinematically it spills from the screen. And, let's not forget, this is the movie that announced Denzel Washington as a major presence. He still may not have bettered this performance. Saturday 28 June, 12:30am, Channel 4 Starting life as a short John Cheever story in the New Yorker, The Swimmer does its best to defy as many conventions as it can. Burt Lancaster plays Ned Merrill, an ad executive who one day decides to 'swim home' by clambering in and out of every pool he passes. Along the way he attempts to seduce a string of women, refers to himself in ever more grandiose terms and begins to detach from the easy suburbia he finds himself in. Before long he has spiralled out of control. Dark and hallucinogenic, it's perhaps the best midlife crisis movie ever made. Monday 30 June, 4:55pm, Film4 This needs to be said upfront: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is a musical. Even though the film's publicity really did not want you to know about it, this is a film where Rachel Zegler will not stop singing. But forewarned is forearmed, and once the shock of the genre has worn off, what's left might be the best Hunger Games movie yet. A prequel, this is an origin story for Coriolanus Snow (the authoritarian ruler played in previous movies by Donald Sutherland), so it gets to exist in the moral murk more happily than the rest of the series. Tuesday 1 July, Netflix Sign up to What's On Get the best TV reviews, news and features in your inbox every Monday after newsletter promotion Long before The King's Speech made him an A-lister (and even longer before Cats blew his career to smithereens), Tom Hooper made arguably his best film. A wilfully inaccurate biopic of Brian Clough's ill-fated stint as manager of Leeds United in 1974, the film is like a tug of war between a headstrong individual and an immovable corporation. It is truly fantastic, with Michael Sheen operating at the highest possible level as the cocky, obstinate Clough. A wonderful celebration of a complex man. Tuesday 1 July, 12am, BBC Two Strongly in the running for the most gleefully preposterous film of the decade, Heads of State is a movie about the American president and the British prime minister. What's preposterous is that they are respectively played by John Cena and Idris Elba. Even more preposterously, it's an action buddy comedy by Ilya Naishuller, the director of Nobody. Did the world need a film where the leaders of the western world are stranded in the middle of nowhere and have to machine-gun their way out in a whirlwind of quips? Absolutely not. But the most preposterous thing of all is that it somehow works. Wednesday 2 July, Prime Video If you couldn't get enough of Heads of State, here's a film that must have at least partially inspired it. Although it suffered at the time from comparisons to Olympus Has Fallen – Gerard Butler's dour action film about a terrorist attack on the presidential residence – White House Down is a far lighter affair. Sure, the same things happen, but this has Channing Tatum instead of Butler, and he's intent on delivering all his lines with the biggest wink imaginable. This is an impossibly silly film and, if you're drunk enough, it forms a perfect double bill with Heads of State. Friday 4 July, 9pm, E4
