Mystery as huge billboard goes up outside Glastonbury Festival – and fans think it's a hint at secret set
GLASTONBURY kicks off today with several mystery slots still unannounced - and fans are on high alert for clues about surprise performers.
Now, a mysterious billboard has popped up near Castle Cary, the main train station for Glastonbury Festival.

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.
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.

EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley hits back at brutal grandmother assumptions on TikTok after her shocking five-stone weight loss
Former EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley has hit back at savage comments asking if she was a grandmother on TikTok videos with her daughter. The actress, 48, who starred as much-loved Karen Taylor on the BBC soap until July 2023, frequently takes to social media to show off her five stone weight loss, after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery. And while her fans are frequently full of praise for her new slimmed-down look, a recent video saw several followers saying she looked like a grandma. The clip saw Lorraine dancing a choreographed routine with her 10-year-old daughter Nancy, to Maroon 5 and SZA's track What Lovers Do. The soap star beamed as she displayed her slender frame and toned legs in a grey minidress, while laughing alongside her little girl. Captioning the fun-filled TikTok, she wrote: 'It's been a while!' and added the hashtag '#motherdaughter'. But despite the clarification, several followers took to the comments to brutally presume that Nancy was Lorraine's grandchild, rather than her daughter. They wrote: 'Nothing better than seeing a grandparent have that kind of fun with their grandchild' and 'Is that your granddaughter?' However, Lorraine was quick to shut them down, pointedly replying: 'Daughter. #motherdaughter is a bit of a clue.' Her fans also jumped to her defence, saying: 'Tell em!!!!' and hitting back at the original comments by saying: 'Why did you think that was an appropriate comment to make?' While her fellow EastEnders alum, Shona McGarty - who played Whitney Dean from 2008 until last year - was also quick to send praise to Lorraine. Commenting on the clip, she gushed: 'Lou! Love this x x You look great! Xxx', while Lorraine replied: 'Thank you mate!!!! Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️xxxx'. Since last year, Lorraine has undergone a body transformation and has shared glimpses with her social media followers along the way. The TV star revealed that she had lost five stone in just 12 months and gushed that she feels better than ever. But despite the clarification, several followers took to the comments to brutally presume that Nancy was Lorraine's grandchild, rather than her daughter Initially remaining coy on how she had managed to shed the pounds so quickly, fans soon began to speculate if she'd utilised a new diet or a popular Ozempic style jab. But in April, Lorraine finally confessed the secret behind her weight loss, as she shared a TikTok video of her transformation journey, revealing she'd undergone gastric sleeve surgery. Gastric sleeve surgery is a weight loss operation that involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving behind a small 'sleeve' that helps restrict food intake. As fans praised her for her honesty, Lorraine admitted: 'I was slightly embarrassed to tell the world I'd had surgery'. While she added: 'I wish I could say it was through diet, but I did have to change my diet & still have to work hard to eat the right stuff to maintain it.' She's gone on to share hacks with fans for a healthier lifestyle and frequently praised her pal and fitness guru Louise, as well as her nutritionist friend which 'clued her up when it came to what she was eating day-to-day'. Her gruelling daily workouts and a well-balanced food regime had a positive impact in Lorraine's life, who said of her journey: 'I'm enjoying it and I feel better for it.' Spilling her diet hacks while chatting to Woman's Own magazine this month, she said: 'My mate Louise is my fitness guru. I've got her to thank for it.' However, Lorraine was quick to shut them down, pointedly replying: ' Daughter. #motherdaughter is a bit of a clue' while her fans also jumped to her defence While her fellow EastEnders alum, Shona McGarty - who played Whitney Dean from 2008 until last year - was also quick to send praise to Lorraine Since last year, Lorraine has undergone a body transformation, revealing that she had lost five stone in just 12 months and gushed that she feels better than ever The actress - who lost 12lbs in her first six weeks on the new diet - recalled: 'I've eaten a lot of boiled eggs, fish, chicken, no carbs, no crisps and no chocolate.' Lorraine first starred on EastEnders as Thelma Bragg for a string of episode in 2016, before returning to Walford on a permanent basis as Karen the following year. However, her character was written out of the series in 2023 as part of a shock cast shake-up, with her final scenes were airing that December. While she has appeared for a few guest stints since, Lorraine previously revealed she is struggling to find new acting gigs following her shock axing. She later shared some of her struggles in a candid Instagram story - as she looked for new acting roles after starring on the BBC series for seven years. But she told The Sun last year that she wouldn't want to go back to Albert Square anytime soon, saying: 'At the moment I wouldn't go back, I'm happy doing what I'm doing. They've left the door open, so never say never.'

Boy George takes ‘muggle' swipe at JK Rowling live on air after row
Boy George called JK Rowling a 'muggle' following their social media row over transgender people. Appearing on Lorraine on Wednesday (25 June), where he discussed trans rights, the Culture Club singer said he was 'disappointed' by the Harry Potter author, whose comments on gender ideology have seen her repeatedly come under fire. 'In the movies she creates this beautiful, magical world but in real life, she's a muggle. So it's very disappointing to find out that actually in a way that's not true,' he told Lorraine Kelly. The singer and the author engaged in an online spat earlier this month, after Boy George called Rowling 'a rich, bored bully' over her campaign to preserve women-only spaces. The writer responded by referencing his 2008 conviction for assault and false imprisonment.

Another eye-opening turn from Queen Ange as she closes in on power
Another PMQs skipped by Keir Starmer – a paper-clip convention in Bulgaria – necessitating another stylish turn by Angela Rayner, wearing a silk dress that barely hid her Rubenesque figure. The closer she gets to power, the more we see of her. Another week at the despatch box and Ange will be popping out of a conch shell, modesty protected by her long red hair. She also wore glasses for the first time in the chamber: someone's finally gone to Specsavers. In other fashion news, Daniel Zeichner dressed as the Man from Del Monte; Chris Bryant as Larry Grayson, in a hideous, 1970s purple flower tie, almost bellowing 'shut that door!' at the party opposite. Liz Kendall, the poor woman tasked with cutting the welfare bill, seems to have treated herself to a tan: an impulse spray at Looks Fantastik. So brown she was practically mahogany, Liz is one of the few people who can honestly tell the unemployed that 'having a job could be worse'. Anyone worried about the election victory of a socialist in New York should calm down: it'll never happen here. Our 'Left-wing' government is using its historic majority to reduce benefits and buy warplanes, hence the backbenchers, mulling a rebellion, were sulkily quiet. Speaking for the Tories, Mel Stride welcomed Queen Rayner to PMQs ' for the second week running ', adding that many behind her 'wish this was a permanent arrangement'. Ange retorted that 'it's nice to talk to the latest wannabe', triggering 'ooohs' from her members. Stride is good at this; Rayner is better. While Mel gives the impression of a man used to winning in court, Ange comes off as someone used to winning from the dock – which requires greater nous. Will Kendall's Bill go to the House next week, asked Stride? Yes, it ruddy well will, said Ange; and these Tories have 'no shame' cos it's them wot ruined Our Economy in the first place. For Rayner, everything is 'ours'. She spoke of 'our NHS', even 'our Armed Forces' – though please don't clap! The soldiers will panic and open fire. Noting Kemi Badenoch's absence, she concluded: 'The Leader of the Opposition said she was going to get better week-on-week. She already has in the last two weeks, by not turning up!' Hoots from Labour; Ange almost made them feel human again. But I think she's wrong. Kemi has cleverly said she'll back the welfare Bill if Kendall tightens it, staking out a position to the Right. When Labour refuses to do this, which it must, she can then ally with the Left to bring the Bill down... and maybe the PM with it. Keir will be the last one to hear of this. He's out of the country until 2028. The rest of the session was blah. Hand-picked MPs pointed out that the Government is giving more children school meals – which just seems cruel – and Calvin Bailey attacked Reform for 'personally smearing' the commander of the RAF base that was vandalised. Bailey was Labour at its most 'public sector': officials can do no wrong and are above criticism. They are Our Jobsworths. Elsie Blundell (nice name: my grandma was an Elsie) complained about poor internet coverage. 'I've 'ad digital black-spots myself,' said Ange, and Bryant nodded sympathetically. But his underpants, if memory serves, are whiter than white.
