Glastonbury 2025: Who is Patchwork? All the theories on mystery headline act
Glastonbury festival has officially announced their full line-up, with over 3,000 performances set to take place between 25th and 27th June. A bunch of new artists have been added to this year's festival, but eagle-eyed fans have spotted a mystery band amongst the line-up. On Saturday night at 6.15pm on the Pyramid stage, slotted in right after John Fogerty and just before Raye and Neil Young, is an act called Patchwork, which no one seems to have heard of. There are a few obscure bands that go by the name of Patchwork - one's a folk group in Canada; another is a hard core band from Tennessee. However, both are unlikely to be performing on the main Glastonbury stage. Glastonbury did something very similar back in 2023 when they hosted an act called Churnups, who ended up being the Foo Fighters. The organisers have said that they won't be providing any further information on the act, leading many to believe that it's definitely a cover up for a real band. So, who could it be? Read on for all the theories behind the mystery act. Fans are convinced that Patchwork is American rock band Haim, made up of sisters Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim. One fan spotted a few clues, which they believe points towards the trio. "Heavily rumoured, then come across these. Coincidence? I suspect @HAIMtheband are Patchwork," they wrote alongside a couple of pictures. The first picture was of an article on the band from 26th April, with the headline: "HAIM stitch a patchwork quilt of rich tones, textures, and colors to explore on Women in Music Pt. III" The second photo was of a book titled Patchwork, written by an author named Sylvia Haim. Haim are due to release their new album I Quit on 20th June, which would make this Glastonbury performance the perfect time to promote some of their new songs. They're also Glasto veterans, having performed there in 2013, 2014, 2017, 2022 and during a virtual Stone Circle set in 2020, so they'll be right at home on the main stage. English rock band Pulp are another contender for who could be the real group behind Glastonbury's mysterious Patchwork. "Are Patchwork Pulp, probably not, am I going to get really excited and believe it's them? Yes. Is it them, no," one fan wrote on X. "Pretty certain 'Patchwork' is gonna be Pulp!!" another said. Pulp was formed in Sheffield in 1978. At their peak, the band consisted of Jarvis Cocker, Russell Senior, Candida Doyle, Nick Banks, Steve Mackey and Mark Webber. The group recently released their first album in 24 years and have been promoting it, so they'd definitely have some new material to perform. They're no strangers to Glastonbury either, and have headlined the Pyramid Stage twice before. According to Casino Beats, the Sheffield band, known for their iconic 1995 Glastonbury headline set, are currently 6/4 to be behind the secret slot. British folk rock band Mumford and Sons are among the list of speculated bands behind the name Patchwork. The group, which is made up of Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, Ted Dwane, and Winston Marshall, are going on their Railroad Revival tour of the US on 3rd August, so they could have time to squeeze in a little Glasto performance before it kicks off. The group are currently 8/1 to be revealed as Patchwork, however, earlier this year they said that they wouldn't be heading to Somerset for the festival, after headlining in 2013. They could change their mind or perhaps that was a decoy... Some other names have been dropped when it comes to the mystery of Patchwork, including Ed Sheeran (3/1) Lewis Capaldi (9/2) Harry Styles and Oasis who are both priced at 6/1. Recent betting odds place Lorde at 8/1, Sam Fender at 10/1, Lady Gaga at 14/1, Robbie Williams at 16/1, and Taylor Swift at 25/1, as contenders for the surprise slot. We'll update you right here once we know more about Patchwork. Glastonbury will take place at Worthy Farm, Somerset, from 25th June to 27th June.

American Music Awards' WORST dressed celebrities ever... from sweatshirts to umbrella hats
As the 2025 American Music Awards approach, anticipation builds not only for the musical performances but also for the fashion statements. Over the years, the AMAs red carpet has been a stage for dramatic ensembles and risqué outfits that sometimes didn't quite pay off, leaving us with unforgettable fashion faux pas. The AMAs have seen its fair share of sartorial nightmares, so ahead of this year's event, which is set to take place on Monday, May 26, has rounded up the worst-dressed celebrities over the years. In 2024, the awards were extra special as it marked the AMA's 50th anniversary. Despite the important celebration, some celebrities still managed to miss the fashion mark. Singer Raye, 27, who performed at the event, wore an unusually casual outfit for a red carpet - choosing a baggy dark brown sweatshirt and a mint green button-up mini skirt. Raye completed the dressed-down look with black mules, red lipstick, glasses, and statement earrings. Meanwhile, 28-year-old Sophia Culpo - who is the sister of model Olivia Culpo - chose an outdated sequin blazer dress that didn't quite work. Last year, singer Raye, 27, wore an unusually casual outfit for a red carpet, while Sophia Culp chose an outdated sequin blazer dress that just didn't work Television personality Ajani Scott also stood out on the carpet - but not for the reason she was hoping for In addition, television personality Ajani Scott stood out on the carpet - but not for the reasons she was hoping for. The real estate agent wore a short blue dress with a dramatic plunging neckline that left very little to imagination. In 2022, there were a few stand out looks - including mega pop star Taylor Swift - however, some celebs fell short. Kim Petras, 32, wore an all-denim outfit that wasn't flattering on the singer. The studded jean look flared out with a mermaid train, and Kim paired it with a chunky jean belt, a tiny denim purse, and a massive cross necklace. Singer Pink, 45, also had a fashion fail as she took the red carpet in a colorful, sparkly fridge look. The front of the dress - which was gold and black - had a high neck and slit up her thigh. It also had a thunderbolt-style zig-zag down the front of her body. Billy Porter, 55, flashed a nipple and wore an umbrella hat as he donned a bright blue Tiffany suit with black platform boots in 2021 That same year, MGK made an interesting fashion choice on the AMA carpet. The singer, 35, wore a purple suit complete with metal needles poking out all over the surface. In 2021, 28-year-old singer Becky G donned a semi-80s frilled purple mini dress with black trimming and shoulder pads. The garment featured strips of fabric fastened with dated clips, which showed segments of skin, including cleavage and her midriff. Notably, Billy Porter, 55, flashed a nipple and wore an umbrella hat as he donned a bright blue Tiffany suit with black platform boots the same year. In 2017, make-up guru Patrick Simondac, 35, who is known as Patrick Starr, stood out from the crowd for all the wrong reasons in his fringed green jumpsuit. Singer Bebe Rexha, 35, also left very little to the imagination in her nearly-naked dress, which clung to her body, and looked incredibly risqué. Bella Thorne made the worst-dressed list in 2016 with her rock star look. Bella Thorne made the worst-dressed list in 2016 with her rock star look.

In 2005, actress Katherine Heigl, 46, wore a baggy and too-casual all-ivory look comprised of a tank top, drawstring pants, and a massive jacket. The 2025 American Music Awards will be held at Fontainebleau Las Vegas in Las Vegas. Only time will tell which stars deliver with their looks, and which totally miss the mark this time around.

This Fife teen is photographing huge names in music at just 18
Despite being fresh out of secondary school, Dunfermline-born Kyle Horne has gone from the photo pit in venues like King Tuts and PJ Molloys to shooting gigs for artists such as Teddy Swims, Raye and KT Tunstall in just over a year. Horne explained that he started taking the medium seriously in S6 after studying photography as a subject for 'fun' and being encouraged by his teacher to create a music project. READ MORE: Scottish garden designers win prestigious award at Chelsea show He told The National: 'I'd studied music from first year all the way through to sixth and [my teacher] said to me 'why not do a music project?' 'It all built up from there. I'd done all these gigs while I was in school for my portfolio, and when I started out I was just DMing artists on Instagram and asking if I could come to their concert and photograph it.' Beginning as a contributor for different online music publications, Horne has since co-founded his own magazine titled ADRENALINE. Horne's impressive CV includes Grammy-nominated singer Teddy Swims, pictured above (Image: Kyle Horne) Brit-award-winning RAYE (Image: Kyle Horne) The photographer said that, whilst volunteering for other outlets was 'great', he wanted to set up his own to have more freedom over the gigs he was shooting. He said: 'I decided 'I'm just going to go for this' and build my name up with these PRs who had only heard of me through whoever was asking for a photo pass at these other magazines. 'I set up an Instagram, created a logo, set up the website, and I just put out an open call and said, 'Does anyone want to be part of this?'. 'We got about 50 applicants at first, which is a lot, but we've got 25 contributors now and I'd say it's going well.'

He said: 'Of course moving down here has helped me get into these big events and meet people working for the likes of Getty and these massive music magazines, but not everyone has to do the same. 'I don't think Scotland is restrictive, it's just smaller in terms of the number of venues and gigs on at one time. Not everyone has to move here to make it." The photographer advised other creative youngsters to 'just go for it', saying: 'I know it's cliché, but just start — email managers, DM artists, use the free bus travel to your advantage. 'The worst anyone can do is say no, and if they do then you just move on to the next one.'
