The identity of mystery act Patchwork has been the subject of rumours for weeks, with rumours that it could be Oasis, Chappell Roan, Harry Styles or Robbie Williams.
The SecretGlasto X/Twitter account, which has a decent track record of outing mystery acts, was first to unmask Patchwork. Today, an eagle-eyed fan told the Mirror: "I spotted the sound engineer box with Pulp's name on as they were setting up during the Kaiser Chiefs set."
To add to the intrigue, Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker performed a secret DJ set at Glastonbury Festival on Friday, so we know for certain he's on site at Worthy Farm.

Pyramid Stage
Patchwork is a mystery act scheduled to perform on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage in 2025, and nobody knows who they really are! The mysterious band is slotted between John Fogerty and Raye on Glastonbury Festival 2025's Pyramid Stage.
The identity has sparked speculation online, with fans and music journalists trying to crack the code. The main theories include:
Pulp - The Sheffield band are currently 6/4 favorites to be behind the secret slot, known for their iconic 1995 Glastonbury headline set. The name 'Pulp' has even been spotted on some gear being assembled backstage today.
Haim - Online sleuths discovered there's a book titled "Patchwork" written by one Susan Haim, leading to speculation it could be the LA sister trio.
Chappell Roan - Some fans are convinced it's the pop superstar after she posted a photo to Instagram holding a patchwork blanket. However, she does not appear to be in the U.K. let alone the Glastonbury Festival.
It's definitely a major artist using "Patchwork" as a pseudonym. The mystery will be solved in a matter of hours now...

BBC Slams 'Deeply Offensive' Glastonbury Set: 'We Have No Plans To Make It Available On Demand'
A BBC spokesperson has described Bob Vylan's Glastonbury set today as 'deeply offensive' and said it won't be making it available on demand. As we reported earlier this evening, the BBC tried to skirt controversial Irish band Kneecap by not showing the group's Glastonbury set as part of its live wall-to-wall Glastonbury coverage today, but instead it was English punk duo Bob Vylan whose live performance on iplayer created a particular stir. More from Deadline BBC Avoids Kneecap But Live Streams Another Act Leading Crowd Chants Of "Death To The IDF" & "Free Palestine" BBC Finally Sets Out Plans For Kneecap Coverage At Glastonbury BBC Confirms Neil Young Glastonbury Set Will Be Televised Live After All British duo Bob Vylan led thousands of crowd-members in chants of 'Death, Death To The IDF' [Isreal Defence Force] and 'Free, Free Palestine' during their set. The packed crowd was studded with Palestinian flags. The band had a large message for fans on stage: 'Free Palestine. United Nations have called it a genocide. The BBC calls it a 'conflict''. They also also reiterated the controversial slogan: 'From the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be, free.' In response, a BBC spokesperson has told Deadline this evening: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' The performance inevitably sparked both outcry — including from a number of conservative politicians — and applause on social media. Kneecap performed its own set to a capacity crowd shortly after Bob Vylan and led the crowd in chants of 'Fuck Keir Starmer' and 'Free Palestine'. The UK Prime Minister had recently said it was 'inappropriate' for the band to play at the festival given the recent legal issues the group has encountered. Kneecap band member Mo Chara is currently facing terror charges in the UK for allegedly showing support for Hamas and Hezbollah, which are both considered terror organizations by the UK government. The local police force to Glastonbury posted a tweet tonight saying it was looking into comments made on stage by bands this evening. We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon. Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation. — Avon and Somerset Police (@ASPolice) June 28, 2025 Some of the context here is the ongoing catastrophic loss of life in Gaza and the ongoing hostage situation in the territory. More than 58,000 people have been reported killed in the Gaza war, at least 56,000 of those being Palestinian, according to local reports. 80% of the dead are said to be civilians. At least 72 people have been killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza this weekend, health staff have said. The UN has reported that at least 410 Palestinians have been killed seeking food since Israel lifted an 11-week aid blockade on 19 May. Meanwhile, there are understood to be 50 hostages left in captivity following the October 7 Hamas raids in 2023, of whom Israel believes 27 are dead.

Kneecap Brings Pro-Palestinian Politics Back Onstage at Glastonbury
About 20 minutes into Kneecap's set at the Glastonbury music festival on Saturday, the Irish-language rap group stopped the show to discuss a topic that has made it one of Britain's most talked about — and infamous — pop acts. 'I don't have to lecture you people,' Mo Chara, one of the band's rappers, told tens of thousands of onlookers at the festival. 'Israel are war criminals,' he said. He then led the crowd in a chant of 'Free, free, Palestine.' Kneecap's set at Britain's largest music festival on Saturday was so popular that organizers had to shut access to the arena to stop overcrowding. But it came after two head-spinning months for the group. In April, Kneecap lost its U.S. visa sponsor after making anti-Israel statements at Coachella. The police in Britain then charged Mo Chara with a terrorism offense for displaying the flag of Hezbollah, the militant group based in Lebanon, onstage at a London show. Several festivals and venues dropped the band from their lineups. The Board of Deputies of British Jews wrote to Glastonbury urging it not to give Kneecap a platform that could make the band's views appear acceptable, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer said last week that it was 'not appropriate' for Kneecap to play at the festival, or for the BBC to broadcast the performance. (The BBC, which provides live coverage from Glastonbury, did not broadcast Kneecap's set, and the festival press office did not respond to a request for comment.) Yet unlike lawmakers, Jewish groups and prosecutors, few in the crowd on Saturday appeared to have concerns about the band or its politics. Amy Pepper, 46, a health worker from Northern Ireland, said the band was 'really inspirational, particularly for my kids.' She had seen Kneecap live several times before, she said.
