All the stars rumoured to be surprising Glastonbury fans including big comeback
From mystery acts, cryptic Instagram posts and surprise appearances - fans are eager to know all the secrets sets at this weekend's Glastonbury and we've pulled together everything we know
Worthy Farm is already buzzing as thousands have poured through the gates of Glastonbury 2025, with its music performances kicking off in style today. While most festival-goers have their must-see acts circled on the line-up, it's the secret sets that really set pulses racing – with Lorde already surprising a huge crowd at Woodsies this morning.
This year's line-up has been drip-fed to fans for months, with headliners locked in and new names randomly popping up. But regulars know the secret sets are the ones to look out for.
Every summer, the festival loves to throw in a few wildcards. It starts with whispers, cryptic clues buried in the programme, and the sort of social media speculation only Glastonbury can ignite. The X (formerly Twitter) page @secretglasto has been working overtime, tipping off eager fans about the biggest surprises.What do we know so far? Let's take a look!
Lorde
Royal songstress Lorde graced the Woodsies stage this morning, with a secret set being played to a crowd which was so packed that festival bosses had to close off the area.
A source told the Mirror: "It's sweltering inside the tent given the amount of people crammed inside. Bosses are urging people to stand up off the floor to make room. Some people are leaving as it's so intense." However, as the crowd spilled outside the tent, the source added: "Bosses have now shut down Woodsies as crowds are so big with a festival-wide message saying: 'Woodies is now full'."
Lewis Capaldi
Two years ago, Lewis Capaldi's Pyramid Stage set left fans in tears as they sang him through a powerful moment when his Tourette's made it hard to finish. Today, exactly two years on, he's released Survive, a raw track reflecting on anxiety, voice loss and that emotional performance, a move many believe is a clear nod he's about to return.
Fans have already spotted posters around the site revealing his name and a set time, though there's still no official word. But when the lyrics, timing and buzz all line up like this, it feels almost certain he'll take to the stage.
Robbie Williams
Robbie's been toying with us for weeks, dropping hints about a Glastonbury comeback, three decades after he first crashed the festival as a newly-solo star. At first, fans got excited when he changed his Facebook photo to a 1995 backstage snap but with tour dates abroad, people assumed it was off the cards. .
This morning, though, he posted two photos on X captioned simply '30 years later…' One showed a plaque reading: 'Robbie Williams entered this area without accreditation, authorisation, or alignment with prevailing taste. His presence was uninvited, unofficial and ultimately inevitable.' The second was the iconic 'Welcome to Glastonbury' sign - All signs lead to a Glasto comeback.
Chappell Roan
Finally, there's the mystery act billed only as 'Patchwork,' due to hit the stage Saturday at 6:15pm. The internet has been in meltdown over who it could be; guesses range from Pulp to Lorde, or even Chappell Roan.
But it was Chappell herself who sparked a frenzy of speculation, posting a snap clutching a patchwork quilt with the caption 'insane vibe.' Between the post and the timing, it's looking very likely the Good Luck, Babe! singer is planning a surprise.
With the weekend stretching ahead, we can expect more bombshell appearances no one saw coming. Because at Glastonbury, some of the best moments are often the ones that aren't on the schedule.

Lola Young puts on a VERY racy display in an underboob-flashing monokini before Glastonbury set - after Lorde sent fans into a frenzy by stripping off during surprise show
Lola Young put on a very racy display as she posed in the back of a motor on her way to perform at Glastonbury. Donning a short red skirt and an incredibly skimpy zebra-coloured monokini, the British singer, 24, sent supporters into a frenzy with the slew of snaps. Flashing underboob with the look, Lola pouted for the series of photos. She also sent temperatures soaring from beneath the camera, showing off her enviable curves while perched in the back of her tour bus. Lola captioned the sexy slew: ' coachella saw me (almost) throw up.. @glastofest what are you gonna get?' Lola is scheduled to hit the Woodsies stage at 4.30pm, just hours after Lorde sent Glastonbury-goers wild with a surprise set on the same stage. The performance came on the same day the New Zealander, 28, dropped supporters jaws after unveiling the cover of her new vinyl. Thousands of fans flocked to the Woodsies stage after rumours of a set from the Royals hitmaker spread around Worthy Farm. Such was the excitement that bosses announced the stage had temporarily closed due to overcrowding shortly before her set began. The singer - who previously graced The Pyramid stage in 2022 - performed all of her biggest hits from Ribs to Green Light, as well as a rendition of her new album. Wearing her jet black hair down, the 28-year-old sported an all-white look for the occasion consisting of a pair of straight leg jeans and a plain T-shirt. While belting out her lyrics, Lorde put her abs on full display as she lifted her T-shirt up to reveal her bra. She later stripped out of the T-shirt, laying bare her impressive figure and sending thousands of supporters wild. 'Moooorning', she greeted the crowd, 'this is sick'. And it seems her performance didn't disappoint, with a host of festival-goers taking to X to praise the popstar. Supporters described the show as 'out of this world', 'utterly euphoric' and 'brilliant'. Friday at the famous old festival will also see Lola Young, Loyle Carner, PinkPantheress and a host of other artists take to the stage before The 1975 close out the night on the Pyramid stage. Lorde's surprise set - which saw her perform a host of tunes from her new album Virgin - comes on the same day she left fans in shock after revealing the cover of her new vinyl. The singer had already raised eyebrows with the project's main artwork, which features an x-ray of her pelvis - inter-uterine device included. The show came on the same day the New Zealand singer dropped supporters jaws after unveiling the cover of her new vinyl However, the vinyl for Virgin - Lorde's fourth studio album and first since 2021's Solar Power - is even more explicit and features what appears to be her genitals beneath a pair of see-through plastic pants. Taking to social media to express their shock, some fans worried about their family members potentially seeing the NSFW cover. They shared on X/ Twitter: 'So the new Lorde vinyl just got delivered. I was not prepared for the insert'; 'lorde really got her cat out like that on her vinyl huh?'; 'My Lorde vinyl is getting delivered to my parent's house I'm scared [sic].' Others added: 'when you open your Virgin vinyl and see lordussy'; 'should've stayed curious abt the lorde vinyl'. However, not everyone was so critical of the vinyl's artwork and others described it as 'beautiful' and far from being shocking. 'A lot of you are being very weird about the lorde vinyl cover… who tf cares if her lordeussy was out. It's just a body.'; 'Wait... Is this the new album art from Lorde that everyone is talking about? It's a beautiful photo, and the entire vinyl package is, too, but come on, it barely shows anything. No need for all the discourse. 90's Madonna would kill you all [sic].' Others said that the reaction to the vinyl was so extreme that they expected it to be a lot more explicit than it actually is. 'I really thought the lorde vinyl insert would be a lot worse than people are saying it is, you guys are kinda dramatic.' The new album features several singles, including Man of the Year, which has already proven to be a viral hit. Lorde described her latest album as 'gender broadening' and said it was inspired by her own 'coming into masculinity'. The star, who uses she/her pronouns, told Rolling Stone that she is 'in the middle, gender-wise'. Elaborating further to fellow singer Chappell Roan, Lorde said of her gender: 'I'm a woman except for the days when I'm a man.' Lorde previously shocked fans when she debuted her new album artwork and its sexually suggestive title. The jaw-dropping cover was an X-ray of what appeared to be her pelvic area, with her hip bones, belt buckle, and zipper visible. But it was one particular detail in the X-ray that got fans talking - a T-shaped object that appeared to be an IUD (intrauterine device), a type of birth control that is placed in the uterus. On her website, she claimed the album was written '100%' in blood. The singer had already raised eyebrows with her latest album's main artwork, which features an x-ray of her pelvis - inter-uterine device included Lorde said she was both 'proud and scared' of the upcoming project in an email sent to fans. 'The colour of the album is clear. Like bathwater, windows, ice, spit. Full transparency. 'The language is plain and unsentimental. The sounds are the same wherever possible. 'I was trying to see myself, all the way through. I was trying to make a document that reflected my femininity: raw, primal, innocent, elegant, openhearted, spiritual, masc. 'I'm proud and scared of this album. There's nowhere to hide. I believe the putting the deepest parts of ourselves to music is what sets us free.' Lorde is one of the highest-selling New Zealand singers of all time and her 2013 song Royals reached number one in America, eventually being certified 14 times platinum.

Wild price of toast at Glastonbury festival and food prices revealed as revellers feel ‘ripped off'
FURIOUS Glastonbury fans have slammed the "ridiculous" price of food and drink at this year's festival. Festivalgoers have been sharing videos online of what's on offer at the Worthy Farm event's hundreds of food stalls, with some charging £14 for chips and £2 for "half a slice of toast". 4 4 4 Yesterday, The Sun revealed the cost of a pint at this year's festival, which kicked off on Wednesday and is set to welcome over 200,000 fans, is between £6.95 and £7.20 - up a maximum of 40p since last year. A festivalgoer from Manchester, known as on social media, posted a video to TikTok reviewing some French toast he'd bought for breakfast at the festival. The "classic French toast" with maple syrup costs £6, but with just three half slices of toast included, one user pointed out that the stall is charging £2 for half a slice of toast. "£2 for half a slice of toast, festivals are wild," they wrote. Another said: " That's Glastonbury for ya....", while another user argued that "anything under £10 is ok" at the festival. Elsewhere, food trucks have been spotted selling "loaded fries" for £14, toasted sandwiches for £10, and Mac and Cheese for up to £16. Another reveller, known as BoSFinesse, posted a video to TikTok of a burger he got at Glastonbury this week - with some of his followers pointing out the "eye-watering" price of £15. "Burgers are coming in at anywhere between 10 to 15 quid a pop, which is pretty much the average price of a meal anywhere at the festival" he said in the video, adding: "So be prepared to remortgage your house for this one." One follower replied: "15 f***ing quid...", while another said the prices at the festival were "ridiculous". "I'm sure I had one of these at an event a few weeks ago, the price was indeed eye watering but it was absolutely bloody delish!," another follower wrote. One follower fumed: "Why is it 15 quid... rent cannot be much... just ripping people off." Glastonbury chaos as bosses are forced to SHUT part of festival as Lorde performs surprise set However, Glastonbury has also been offering a £6 meal deal option since 2015, which is available at more than 250 stalls at the festival. It comes as prices at the festival's on-site bars caused a stir among fans earlier in the week, with some dubbing the costs "absolutely disgusting". A double shot of spirit with a mixer will set you back an astonishing £13, while pints of draught beer and cider cost between £6.95 and £7.20. Glastonbury bar prices Here's the breakdown of prices at Glastonbury: Burrow Hill Cider - £6.50 Brothers Festival Cider - £6.95 Brooklyn Pilsner - £6.95 Stonewall Inn IPA - £7.20 Spirits&Mixers (double) - £12.90 Spirit&Red Bull (double) - £13.90 Wine (175ml) - £7.95 Soft drinks - £3 Red Bull - £5 Burrow Hill is best value pint on the menu this year, coming to £1.91 per unit. Festivalgoers have also pointed out the huge premium being slapped on wine at the event, with organisers charging £32 for a bottle of wine that can be bought for less than than £10 from some retailers. As photos of the on-site bar menu emerged on social media earlier this week, one fan commented on X: " Imagine paying over £300 for Glastonbury tickets to be told it's a further £32 for an £8 bottle of wine. 🤪 don't give festivals your coin it's a proper scam." Some came to the defence of the festival bars, saying that the prices are "not bad". One fan wrote: "That's not bad considering it's a festival." Another person said: "Still cheaper than some pubs I've been to." The Sun has contacted Glastonbury for comment. Stars will take to the stage at the iconic festival from today, June 27, to June 29, with this year's headliners including The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo. 4

Call The Midwife star ties the knot with director fiancé and breaks wedding tradition as BBC star gushes 'we very much did it'
Call The Midwife actress Rebecca Gethings has tied the knot with her long-term partner, choosing a pink frock in a twist on tradition. The 47-year-who plays Sister Veronica in the hit BBC series, married her long-term partner, the animation director Tom Brass, with whom she has two children. Taking to Instagram, Rebecca confirmed her nuptials beneath a happy photo of the pair emerging from the Old Truman Brewery in London. She said: 'I do, he do, and we very much did' which prompted a slew of Call The Midwife cast members to send their best wishes. Renee Bailey who plays Joyce Highland, wrote: 'Wow.' And Natalie Quarry who stars as Rosalind Clifford, wrote: 'So gorgeous.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rebecca Gethings (@rebeccagethings) Since first joining the series in 2023, Rebecca's character Sister Veronica who works as a nun and health visitor, has become beloved by viewers for her plucky personality and forthright manner. Despite a shaky start, Sister Veronica proves her worth as she delivers babies, advocates for social care improvements and builds trust among her colleagues at Nonnatus House. But earlier this year the Canadian-born actress told how she'd experienced some 'spooky' encounters on set, as several co-stars are said to have witnessed some 'weird goings on' amid rumours that the Surrey-based building is haunted by an Edwardian lady. Rebecca told My Weekly magazine: 'I never go there on my own.' She went on to describe, 'lights going on and off and spooky male laughter outside the women's toilets.' She added: 'Just outside Dr Turner's office, our medic heard a bang when they were locking up for the night,' Gethings explained. 'She went running in and took a photo in the dark, and when you zoom in, there is the figure of an Edwardian lady holding what looks like a pig.' The period drama is filmed at Longcross Studios in Surrey, where a Victorian manor serves as Nonnatus House. But aside from some spookiness, Rebecca, who is also known for her roles in the BBC comedy The Thick of It and Ricky Gervais's Extras, also confessed that the Call the Midwife cast are like family. The cast and crew are currently filming the 15th series of the show which includes a two-part Christmas special set both in Hong Kong and Poplar, followed by eight hour-long episodes set in early 1971. It comes after it was reported that Call the Midwife will reportedly come to a close after its 15th series next year. The heartwarming show first aired in 2012 and has since put out 14 series, totalling to more than 100 episodes following the nurses and nuns in Poplar. A Christmas special for this year has already been announced, with the cast said to be currently at work filming for next year's series. However, according to The Daily Star, season 15 will be the show's last, as bosses want the popular drama to 'go out on a high'. A source told the publication: 'After years of drama and countless births, Call The Midwife is coming to an end. The team have decided it's time to draw the show to a close and bow out. 'This is the last we'll see of these much-loved characters. Storylines will tie up a lot of loose ends. It's a bittersweet time for the cast and crew. They're all sad it's coming to an end, but they want to make sure the show gets the ending it deserves.' However, the insider teased that there could be a special return episode one day in the future, saying: 'The writers are also open to the idea of reviving Call The Midwife for a special one day in the future. It's a case of never say never.'
