With just three weeks to go, Glastonbury organisers have shared the complete schedule.
However, there are still several 'TBA' slots that hint at secret sets on the Pyramid Stage and beyond.
With this in mind, fans have a brand new theory about who could make a surprise appearance at the legendary festival.
On the freshly released Glastonbury schedule, the Saturday 6.15pm slot has a mysterious band called "Patchwork", and fans have been trying to work out what it means.
It follows a similar mystery in 2023 when ChurnUps were revealed to be the Foo Fighters.
Taking to Reddit to discuss, revellers think they have worked out who it is - and they think it's US band Haim.
One fan said: "Patchwork is a book by the author Sylvia Haim..."
Another added: "Yep, that Patchwork book observation that people have made pretty much confirms that it's them in my opinion."
This one commented: "It's Haim they have a gig the day before in Margate."
American group Haim, who are based in Los Angeles are made up up three sisters - Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim.

Known for songs like Summer Girl and Lost Track, the band have been thrilling fans since 2007.
This year's headliners include The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo
The rest of the bill features big-name acts such as Charli XCX, Doechii, Rod Stewart, Loyle Carner, The Prodigy and Raye.
The festival kicks off on Wednesday, June 25, with two opening ceremonies.
The bands will take to the stage from June 27 to June 29.

Maura Higgins cashes in with new Stateside job just weeks after filming The Traitors US
The presenter has already carved out an impressive career accross the pond MAUR WORK Maura Higgins cashes in with new Stateside job just weeks after filming The Traitors US Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MAURA Higgins has landed another job in America just weeks after taking part in The Traitors US. The Irish presenter, 34, will be hosting a newly commissioned Aftersun for the upcoming Love Island Games after impressing bosses on the regular show. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Maura Higgins will be hosting Aftersun for Love Island Games Credit: Getty 4 The star has launched a very succesful career stateside Credit: Getty Maura took the helm for Love Island USA's sister show, which airs on streaming service Peacock in the US, for its fifth season last year and is now heading to Fiji for her next gig. An TV insider told us: 'The first series of Love Island Games didn't have an Aftersun sister show as it was pre-recorded and aired at a later date, but this time around for season 2 it will air in real time like the regular show does. 'As a result, bosses have commissioned an Aftersun series to run as a companion show and it will be fronted by Maura Higgins, who hosts Aftersun for the regular Love Island USA. 'Maura was thrilled to be asked to do it, as Games is a totally separate show so there was no guarantee she would be offered it. "When bosses approached her, she was over the moon because it proves how happy they are with her and she is seen as a key fixture in the Love Island USA family.' The source added: 'Her stateside career is going from strength to strength and comes off the back of her doing Traitors US. Maura would love to spend more time doing work in the US and it feels like this is the next step to that.' Maura recently returned from Scotland where she filmed the show with the likes of Real Housewives stars Lisa Rinna and Caroline Stanbury. The next series of Love Island Games is set to start filming next month in Fiji. The show features stars from the various editions of the show all living together - and unlike the original format of the show, the stars have to compete in various challenges to win. Maya Jama hosted the first series but has now stepped down and has been replaced by Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix.

Submitting... #CHARLOTTESVILLE ★★★★ Pleasance Courtyard (Venue 33) until 25 August Ohio ★★★★ Assembly Roxy (Venue 139) until 24 August With the United States thrown into turmoil by Donald Trump's second prsidency, it's fascinating to see those American dramas of doubt, division and aggressive certainty play out across the Edinburgh Fringe; and nowhere more so than Priyanka Shetty's impassioned solo show #Charlottesville, produced by Yellow Raincoat and Richard Jordan in association with the Pleasance. Subtitled 'The play that Trump does not want you to see!', Shetty's show is a powerful docudrama about the events of 2017 in the city of Charlottesville, home of the University of Virginia, which Shetty witnessed as a young first year theatre student of Indian origin. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Ohio | Oliver Rosser Enraged by a city council decision to remove some statues and memorials commemorating Confederate leaders, the American far right, emboldened by Trump's election the previous year, vowed to stage massive demonstrations in the normally quiet university city; and amid the torchlit white supremacist marches and huge counter-demonstrations that followed, one woman demonstrator was killed by a man who drove his car into the crowd. Shetty chronicles all this in vivid narrative style, with sharp and telling use of projected video images. Alongside this shocking story of a quiet town confronted with an overt politics of hatred, though, she also has a tale to tell of the more subtle oppression and marginalisation she suffers at the hands of her university department, who see nothing wrong with directors repeatedly refusing to cast her for student productions because of her skin colour, and aggressively forbid her to make a show about the Charlottesville events. The result is a riveting tale, told with intelligence and feeling, that cuts to the heart of the lingering racism and overt white supremacism that is helping to reshape American politics. And Shetty's powerful stage presence is a living reminder both of the profound crisis the United states faces, and of its enduring capacity, despite Trump's best efforts, to offer new Americans from across the world the chance to find, and raise, their own voices. In their show Ohio, at Assembly Roxy, US indie-folk duo The Bengsons - Shaun and Abigail - offer their audiences a much more meditative insight into the tensions that divide American society. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad In what they call 'an ecstatic grief concert' - a one-hour cycle of songs punctuated by narrative - they chart their own personal journeys from childhoods shaped by religious faith (hers light-touch Jewish, his in a strict and devout Christian sect) through a long youthful process of doubt, rebellion, rejection, and rage, towards some kind of new accommodation with the aspects of life that are both spiritual and unknowable. The experience that shapes them includes Sean's increasing profound deafness, inherited from his preacher father, and the premature birth of their son, when the baby's life hangs in the balance. None of this, though, ever seems to diminish the magnificent, raw strength of their music, of Shaun's guitar and Abigail's wild, magnificent singing, which ranges from the gentlest of dances and laments to heart-tearing rebel yells of rage and grief; in a show whose music comes from the very heart of American culture - religious, folk-based, touched by soul and blues - yet always succeeds in forging it into something brilliant, and new. Joyce McMillan The Monkeypox Gospel ★★★ Underbelly Cowgate (Venue 61) until 24 August There's a lot going on in Ngofeen Mputubwele's debut stage show The Monkeypox Gospel; and so there should be, given the importance of the subjects he tackles, which include the science of pandemics, the politics of vaccination, and the impact of lingering colonial attitudes on human health and health care. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad His subject is the monkeypox (now renamed m-pox) epidemic of 2022; but since m-pox, like AIDS, is often transmitted by sex between gay men, Mputubwele fears that by writing honestly about it, he will finally expose himself to complete exclusion from his Congolese family and community. The problem with the show, though, is that in a short 60 minutes, Mputubwele - who is an award-nominated podcast producer, as well as a journalist and lawyer - throws absolutely everything at it, from a massively noisy mixed soundtrack that sometimes drowns out his words (although he is a big man with a big voice), to awkward episodes in which he works through his traumas - as a gay man from a strictly religious background, and a black African living in New York - by performing extracts from Verdi's La Traviata, and dancing to the strains of Tchaikovsky's ballet music. That he has a powerful story to tell is not in doubt; but before he brings it to the stage again, he needs to declutter and re-focus the narrative, and then allow it - through him - to speak for itself. Joyce McMillan The Ego ★★★ ZOO Playground (Venue 186) until 24 August The Ego takes time to heat up, but as with a frog in water, there's no escaping the message at its heart when Anemone Valcke and Verona Verbakel bring proceedings to the boil. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad In fact, the play isn't about the ego at all (the softest, most fragile part of a person, as they understand it), but of internalised misogyny and #MeToo. The action comprises videos captured during or after significant life-events – like when Verbakel's part in a movie gets cut, or when she calls her mum in tears before going onstage to do a kissing scene – and direct conversations with the audience. There is an unsettling commentary on informed consent performed to the tune of Marilyn Manson, and a message, written over Google Docs, reveals the soft, fragile centre of the play (what it is, what it isn't, why it is, and where it came from). This is overlayed by footage of manatees, who by law, cannot be harmed. What would it be to have the same rights as a manatee, they ask? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The overall shape of the piece means the final moments are somewhat anticlimactic, but each layer holds intrigue and meaning, and its conclusion poses powerful questions, nonetheless. Josephine Balfour-Oatts Jello Brain ★★★ Greenside @ George Street (Venue 236) until 23 August What starts off as a show about an anxious young woman's fear of getting of getting Alzheimer's disease, following her mother's diagnosis at the age of 55, turns into not so much a demystification of the illness and its effects, but a celebration of a charming mother-daughter relationship that prevails through the challenges. Written and performed by Natalie Grove, it begins with Natalie's Mum going to live in a place called 'Memory Care' and Natalie taking Xanex to deal with her worry of also getting the disease which, conversely, might in the long-term also make her ill. Grove's head is initially filled with the facts she's researched online about the disease, which are adding to her anxiety but also her knowledge. Her worries slowly alleviate as she and her mum adjust to their new lives, with the world of the care home, with its supporting cast of characters and their activities, evoked in a way that feels pleasantly domestic rather than offputtingly institutional. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad A day-to-day charting of a series of events, including Natalie's trips to see her psychologist, rather than a piece with a more focussed story, it's refreshing to see such a positive piece about Alzheimer's and caring, with a heartfelt script performed by a warm and identifiable narrator with compassion and, by the end, strength.

Harry's secret letter to late grandfather Prince Philip REVEALED after pal left note on his behalf
The duke said he was 'profoundly grateful' SECRET MESSAGE Harry's secret letter to late grandfather Prince Philip REVEALED after pal left note on his behalf A SECRET letter written by Prince Harry to his late grandfather has been revealed. The Duke of Sussex, 40, paid a heartfelt tribute to Prince Philip in a note left at the National Memorial Arboretum on the 80th anniversary of VJ Day. 8 Harry's letter was lay with a wreath by a pal Credit: PA 8 The Duke of Sussex paid tribute to his late grandfather Credit: Getty Advertisement 8 Prince Philip passed away in 2021 aged 99 Credit: PA The father-of-two trusted one of his pals to place it down alongside a wreath of red poppies at the Burma Star Memorial in Staffordshire on Friday. As reported by GB News, the note was left after King Charles and Queen Camila paid their respects. VJ Day, commemorated annually on August 15, marks the anniversary of Japan's surrender to the Allies after the atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Advertisement Harry, who did not attend but stayed at his home in California, wrote: "For me, this anniversary carries an added layer of meaning. "My late grandfather, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, served in the Pacific campaign. "He spoke with quiet humility about those years, but I know how deeply he respected all who stood beside him in that theatre of war. "Today, as I think of him, I think also of each of you, of the shared hardships, the bonds forged, and the legacy you leave." Advertisement Prince Philip was in Tokyo Bay on the destroyer HMS Whelp, a warship he served on as second-in-command, when Japanese officials formally signed the surrender on the USS Missouri. King Charles did not mention his father's experience during his audio address to the nation on Friday morning. However he remembered his great uncle Earl Mountbatten, who was the Supreme Allied Commander South East Asia Command. Charles & Camilla weep at VJ Day ceremony as veteran goes off script with royal tribute before telling of horrors he saw_1 Harry's letter, which was addressed to the "Forgotten Army", read: "On this 80th anniversary of VJ Day, we pause to remember the day the guns finally fell silent across the world, the true end of the Second World War. "We also pause to recognise you, the men and women of the 'Forgotten Army,' whose courage and endurance in the Far East campaign were anything but forgettable. Advertisement "You faced an enemy determined to the last, fought in unforgiving terrain, and endured months, even years, far from home, in conditions most could scarcely imagine. "Your service in the jungles and mountains of Burma and beyond was marked by grit, unity, and sacrifice. 8 King Charles and Queen Camilla were reduced to tears by a 105-year-old war veteran's speech Credit: Paul Edwards 8 Red Arrows soar overhead during the VJ Day service on Friday Credit: Getty 8 King Charles and Yavar Abbas, who served as an officer in the Far East Credit: Reuters Advertisement "It is because of that sacrifice that generations since, myself included, have been able to live in freedom. "From the lessons of that bitter struggle came the understanding that even the fiercest of foes can, in time, become valued partners in peace. "Today, as both our nations mark this anniversary, we acknowledge the respect earned, the lives lost and the enduring friendship that has since taken root." The duke added: "I am humbled by your example, proud of your service and dedication, and profoundly grateful for what you endured. "Your story is part of our shared heritage, and it must never be forgotten. With the deepest respect, thank you." Advertisement The letter was signed "Harry", Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. Harry was reportedly left saddened in 2020 when he was not allowed to leave a wreath on Remembrance Sunday in the wake of Megxit. And just months later he was stripped of his military patronages by his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II after his decision to step down as a senior working royal. 8 Heroic Brits in the Far East in 1941 8 London's Piccadilly Circus in 1945 after the end of the war Credit: Getty
