American group confirm secret Glastonbury set as they tease fans with big clue
HAIM have finally confirmed they are one of the secret acts at Glastonbury Festival. The American sister trio will be hitting the Park Stage at Worthy Farm tonight at 7.30pm after weeks of speculation. 4 4 As well as the BBC posting a photograph confirming the news, the sisters – Alana, Este and Danielle – shared a video of them getting ready for the weekend, donning sunglasses and wellingtons. The band has long been considered a glaring omission from the Glastonbury line-up, particularly considering their new album, I Quit, dropped this week. They were also already confirmed to be in the UK in time for the festival, performing a headline show at Margate's Dreamland on Friday. As a result fans had been speculating for weeks that they would make an appearance in some form. It was initially believed they were the band 'Patchwork' that will be appearing on the Pyramid Stage at 6.15pm – with the name being the title of a book by novelist Sylvia Haim. However, that is now widely believed to be Pulp in a comeback after more than a decade away from the festival – and nearly 20 years since they were on the Pyramid Stage. Secret Sets have become a Glastonbury staple, and as the festival prepares to take a "fallow" year next year, they are making sure 2025 is one to remember with more than 42 'TBA' slots on their line-up. So far, Lorde opened the Woodsies stage on Friday with a secret set, shutting down the grounds it was on due to the amount of fans descending to the smaller stage. Celebrating the launch of her album, Virgin, the New Zealand singer played the record in its entirety to the crowd. Lewis Capaldi also left fans in tears when he was confirmed to be the mysterious "TBA" set on the main Pyramid stage, returning two years since his last performance saw him remove himself from the spotlight completely. Glastonbury opening ceremony branded a flop by disappointed revellers as fireworks display 'dogged by sound issues' Franz Ferdinand couldn't resist playfully jabbing at Lewis's return, with the fellow Scotsmen bringing out "the Original Capaldi" for their set in the shape of Doctor Who Peter Capaldi. Sets have also been forced to change at the last minute – with Deftones announcing that, due to illness, they would be unable to perform on the Other Stage tonight. In their place, grime star Skepta was pulled in at the eleventh hour to take to the stage, and will be going on at 9pm, with Ezra Collective slightly extending their set as well to fill the time left behind by Deftones. 4 4

Legendary 90s band and huge chart topping pop star ‘revealed' for Glastonbury's ‘secret set' acts as bookies drop clues
BOOKMAKERS may have just helped add fuel to rumours of who the famous acts will be playing at this year's Glastonbury festival. Music fans have been speculating which big acts will make a surprise appearance as the major festival's opening night is just a few weeks away. 5 5 Leading bookie William Hill has suspended its betting on the 'To Play a Secret Set at Glastonbury 2025' market after a run of money for acts Pulp and Lorde. William Hill reported sustained support for Britpop rockers Pulp who had shortened into 1/2 odds after starting at even-money. Another favourite was New Zealand singer Lorde who had been backed into even-money from 3/1, before the market was suspended. 'Punters appear to strongly fancy Pulp to make their first live appearance since 2013 at Glastonbury this year, and Jarvis Cocker's band was backed into 1/2 from even-money before betting was suspended," a spokesperson for William Hill said in a statement. 'Similarly, we saw a run of 'smart money' for Lorde, with the New Zealand singer shortening into even-money having opened at 3/1.' Pulp and Lorde are the latest names to be floated as potential secret acts just days after fans were convinced they worked out who would be playing. Some believed it would be crooner Ed Sheeran after the Glasto team released the schedule and punters saw a gap on the main Pyramid Stage which left them scratching their heads. However, on Reddit, some believe they may have cracked it –believing Ed Sheeran is adding the festival to his string of surprise appearances. "Ed sheeran for the TBA pyramid set. Been doing secret gigs all year and this fits," wrote one. The guitar-playing singer has been promoting his new album, Play, which is set for release in September. Fans slam Glastonbury as 'worst one ever' as full lineup announced As part of this, he has released a number of new songs - including lead track Azizam and Old Phone – to get fans excited. To kick off promotion of the album, Ed joined Jimmy Fallon to perform on New York's Subway in disguise, dressing up like an emo rocker. Glastonbury is never short of exciting surprises on the line-up, with another leaving fans convinced that HAIM will make an appearance on the Saturday of the festival. Glastonbury 2025 - rumoured acts THE Glastonbury line-up hasn't been confirmed - despite the fact tickets for the 2025 event sold out in minutes. Here are some rumoured acts. Basement Jaxx sparked speculation they will be playing at Worthy Fam after leaving a "Glastonbury shaped gap" in their latest tour schedule. It came after the hit duo announced their first live shows in 10 years - with gig-goers calling out a key "clue" in the order of their concert dates. Yet acts including Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Eminem are rumoured to be in the mix. Canadian songstress Alanis Morrisette and Simple Minds have also been tipped to take to the stage. The event will run from Wednesday, June 25 to Sunday June 29 for 2025. HAIM addressed the rumours during an interview on BBC Radio 2. The sister trio are set to release their fourth album 'I Quit' on June 20, just one week before Glastonbury kicks off and one week after the festival the group is playing a one-off UK show at Dreamland Margate. BBC Radio 2 host, Jo Whiley, pointed out to the sisters that they would be free on the Glasto weekend, Este Haim told her, 'Well, we're playing Margate.' Haim then teased listeners by saying they 'shall be in the area," when Glasto is on. It follows a similar mystery in 2023 when ChurnUps were revealed to be the Foo Fighters. This year's headliners include The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo, while the rest of the bill features big-name acts such as Charli XCX, Doechii, Rod Stewart, Loyle Carner, The Prodigy and Raye. 5 5 5
