At the beginning of the month, Glastonbury organisers shared the complete schedule.
However, there are still several 'TBA' slots that hint at secret sets on the Pyramid Stage and beyond.
Now fans have a brand new theory about who 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.
Now 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."
Taking to Reddit to discuss, revellers now think she is definitely the surprise act.
One fan said: "This means she is defo Patchwork!"
Another added: "This post all but confirms it!"

Richard E Grant goes on 'emotional' Gavin And Stacey tour - in memory of his late wife

Richard E Grant has shared an emotional video of his trip to Barry - the town made famous by the hit TV show Gavin And Stacey. He was joined by the show's co-creator Ruth Jones, who is best known for playing Nessa. They are both filming a new drama called The Other Bennet Sister, which delves into a character in Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice. Grant excitedly said "oh my god" as he stood outside Stacey's family home - and headed across the road to Uncle Bryn's. A trip to Barry Island soon followed to visit some of the sitcom's most famous landmarks, including Marco's Cafe and the beachfront. And the actor's visit wouldn't have been complete without Jones putting on her best Nessa voice - and asking: "Oh, Rich, what's occurin'? "It's really emotional being here," Grant said. "The last months of my wife's life, we watched Gavin And Stacey on repeat - and it just cheered us up endlessly." In 2021, Grant announced that his wife Joan Washington had died - eight months after she was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer.

Fans divided as Tom Sandoval tries to rebrand himself as a musician on America's Got Talent with some leaving scathing remarks

Fans tuning into NBC's America's Got Talent were quite stunned to see reality TV villain Tom Sandoval auditioning as a musician. The 42-year-old Vanderpump Rules star mentioned that he was once referred to by The New York Times as ' the most hated man in America, ' after his cheating scandal. While he has continued to appear on reality shows like The Masked Singer and most recently The Traitors, now he's trying to rebrand as a musician. He appeared on Tuesday's episode of AGT with his band dubbed The Most Extras, which he is hoping to turn into the 'ultimate cover band.' He took to the stage to perform the 1985 A-ha classic Take On Me, and while the crowd was clearly apprehensive at first, his stage presence seemed to win them over. Sandoval even managed to win the judges over, as he was voted on to the next round, a decision that was clearly quite divisive on social media While he has continued to appear on reality shows like The Masked Singer and most recently The Traitors , now he's trying to rebrand as a musician. Before he took the stage, a staffer approached judge Simon Cowell, asking if he knew who Tom Sandoval was, and he said he did, since his former boss Lisa Vanderpump is his 'old friend.' Sandoval said in confession, 'A couple years ago, I made some really bad choices and was involved in a very bad cheating scandal. And I let down a lot of people. It pretty much destroyed my life. It's absurd how much coverage and how big it became.' 'Ever since then, it's like everything that I do is completely criticized. I feel a lot of pressure. I just hope the audience and the judges see who I am as a musician, versus just somebody on a reality show,' Sandoval said. He got tepid applause in his opening segment, adding he was in a 'very very dark place,' but his band was, 'the only thing that kept me going.' When asked if music is what he wanted to do from now on, Sandoval said, 'Yes. I would love nothing more for us to tour the world, like just be the ultimate cover band, party band,' as he said his girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson and his old friend Tom Schwartz were in the audience to support him. Before the performance, judge Howie Mandel explained to fellow judge Sofia Vergara that he's so hated because, 'he slept with his girlfriend's best friend.' While the performance didn't seem to impress the crowd or the judges much at first, he ultimately brought the crowd to its feet after hitting a surprisingly high note. The judges were impressed, though Simon Cowell admitted, 'the vocals weren't great,' as the crowd started to boo, as Simon added, 'Not everyone comes on this show to get a record deal. Sometimes it's about being true to who you are.' He got tepid applause in his opening segment, adding he was in a 'very very dark place,' but his band was, 'the only thing that kept me going' Mel B and Sofia Vergara both gave the band yesses, and Simon Cowell did as well, albeit reluctantly, putting Sandoval and his band through to the next round, a decision that was praised by some fans and blasted by others. One X user dubbed @AGTCommenter said, 'This is an odd prop-up job by the show. What are they gaining from trying to rehab Tom Sandoval's image for him? Sounds like he is kind of a top notch scumbag. I'm not a pearl clutcher but this seems like an unnecessary hill for the show to be on right now.' Jordan @JordanLR7 added, '#AGT Already said what I had to say about Tom Sandoval a few days ago but this needs to be added. He's a cheater. That is an awful sob story to go with for this show. Turning your bad decisions into a sob story is head scratching. And apparently he's a MILLIONAIRE. Why is he here.' Others were impressed with Sandoval's musical stylings, such as @Samfree92, who said, 'Tom Sandoval was great on America got talent.' Another fan - @PaulBacon30 - added, 'Tom Sandoval & The Next Extras SHOULD have got the #GoldenBuzzer because it was the best act in Week 5 of the auditions.' Carol (@catitcomb) insisted, 'Tom Sandoval is a complete IDIOT Evil & no one will vote for you Mr. Cheater. We hated you on PumpRules & we still hate you.' X user @Hibiscus_2500 added, 'Oh Tom Sandoval we didn't forget dummy #agt #vanderpumprules.' Dorcha (@dorcharibhinn) added, 'He was better than I thought he would be. But he won't win. Tom Sandoval #AGT #TomSandoval.' One X user dubbed @AGTCommenter said, 'This is an odd prop-up job by the show. What are they gaining from trying to rehab Tom Sandoval's image for him?

Turned it off and not watching anymore. This show is a joke.' Samantha W (@swasser85) even tagged Bravo's Andy Cohen, adding, '@Andy you watching @AGT? Tom Sandoval is on! I feel awful about how everyone talked about him. It was cruel. Maybe @BravoWWHL shouldn't have fostered it. @TomSandoval1.' Jacqueline DeClerg (@JaxDeClerg) tweeted, 'Not Tom Sandoval trying to rebrand on America's Got Talent.' ShimBo84 (@ShimBo84) added, 'I don't care who the hell Tom Sandoval is, his act on #AGT wasn't good. He has the 'looks,' but his voice isn't great & the act wasn't good. Who agrees? Clearly he's a SOME1 since they're making a big deal about him & want everyone to like the act… but pass. #AmericasGotTalent.'

True to life or not, F1 movie draws on decades of drama

LONDON, June 25 (Reuters) - The racing scenes in Brad Pitt's new F1 movie are impressively authentic but the filmmakers have also made much of how the sport's past is woven into the plot -- with a hefty slice of Hollywood artistic licence. "We just drew from history. A little this, a little that, then we had Lewis Hamilton keep us straight," commented Pitt at a New York premiere ahead of this week's general release in cinemas. Apple's senior vice-president of services Eddy Cue, a lifelong Formula One fan and Ferrari board member, told reporters after a media screening that "there's not a single event in here... that hasn't happened in a real race." That does not mean, of course, that such events could still happen now or that they served as anything more than inspiration. The Apple Original Films blockbuster -- with scenes shot during grand prix weekends -- is a redemption story, with Pitt playing ageing driver Sonny Hayes on an unlikely comeback alongside a young hotshot at a struggling team. Seven-times world champion Hamilton provided advice and is credited as a co-producer on a movie scripted for audiences unfamiliar with the sport. Pitt's age -- 61 in real life -- has been called out as unrealistic for a driver in the modern era but as Hamilton, 40, said when filming started in 2023: "Brad looks like he's ageing backwards." The oldest current F1 driver is Spaniard Fernando Alonso who will be 44 next month but in the 1950s, when physical demands were less but dangers greater, Philippe Etancelin and Louis Chiron raced at 55. Luigi Fagioli was a winner at 53. F1 comebacks also tend to follow short absences nowadays, one or two years at most, but it was not ever thus. Dutch driver Jan Lammers raced from 1979-82 and was out for more than a decade -- when he won Le Mans and raced at Daytona -- before returning in 1992. Italian Luca Badoer also had 10 years between races before a short-lived comeback in 2009. Drivers have indeed gone from last to first in barely believable circumstances, made winning strategy calls and taken triumphs with unsung teams that would not normally be considered contenders. The 2011 Canadian Grand Prix lasted more than four hours, featured six safety car deployments and was won by Jenson Button who at one point was at the back of the field and had two collisions including one with McLaren teammate Hamilton. Button made five pitstops, plus a drive-through penalty, and picked up a puncture in a race halted for two hours. Hayes' backstory is of racing Ayrton Senna before suffering a crash so violent he was flung from the car still attached to his seat. That is modelled on Northern Ireland's Martin Donnelly who crashed at Jerez in practice for the 1990 Spanish Grand Prix and was left inert in the middle of the track. He survived, miraculously, but there was to be no F1 comeback. Drivers have escaped blazing crashes, Frenchman Romain Grosjean after his car erupted in a fireball at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix while Niki Lauda suffered serious burns in a 1976 Nuerburgring crash. The Austrian returned to racing six weeks later. There are nods to the Crashgate scandal, when Brazilian Nelson Piquet Jr crashed deliberately at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix and triggered a safety car that helped teammate Alonso win. A female technical director? Not yet, but women have run teams and work as strategists, race engineers and pitlane mechanics -- although the movie is far from realistic in that regard. For F1 fans of a certain age there is the 'Easter egg' of a glimpse of the Monza banking in homage to 1966 movie 'Grand Prix'. F1 director Joseph Kosinski said that classic, and Steve McQueen's 1971 movie 'Le Mans', were his touchstones. "Those movies are now almost 60 years old but you can still watch them and still marvel at the cinematography and the feeling of being there," he said. "The whole practical nature of this film was inspired by those classics".
