Lewis Capaldi backed to front Glastonbury secret set amid rumours of his return to music
Glastonbury Festival kicks off next week and fans believe Lewis Capaldi will be the surprise act in the TBA slot.
Glastonbury 2025 is now just mere days away with the iconic musical festival at Worthy Farm in Pilton set to kick off on Wednesday June 25. However, most fans will most be looking forward to the weekend as headliners the 1975, Olivia Rodrigo and Neil Young all take to the Pyramid Stage while Rod Stewart will be playing the coveted Legends Slot on the Sunday.
With just days left to go, fans are eagerly waiting in anticipation to discover which music stars will play the TBA (To be Announced) sets next weekend with a new survey from Spin Genie revealing the acts Brits are backing to see take the stage. Among them is the beloved Lewis Capaldi, who is one of the top tipped names.
The 28-year-old has been taking a break from the limelight after his 2023 Glastonbury performance which saw the Scots singer heavily relying on fans to finish his set for him as he was seen visibly struggling with his Tourette's Syndrome. However, Lewis is not the number one favourite on the list, with the survey revealing there is one other major pop star that fans are rooting to see perform.
The runaway favourite is currently Lady Gaga, following her record breaking performance on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil last month where she played to an estimated 2.5M people for free.
The Bad Romance hitmaker stormed to the top spot with 27 per cent of the votes from respondents.
However, there were some other unexpected names thrown into the mix. Other mentioned stars include the Killers with 12 per cent of votes and Pulp at 10 percent while Chappell Roan was backed by 7 percent of votes.
The most shocking result of all was undoubtedly actor Timothée Chalamet who received 4% of the vote.
The American star who recently played the leading role of Bob Dylan in his biopic 'A Complete Unknown' appears to have impressed fans with his singing talents as they are holding out for a surprise Dylan medley from the Hollywood icon at the festival.
Here are the full results of the survey below.
Survey results:
Who do you think will play a secret set at Glastonbury this year?
Lady Gaga - 27%
Lewis Capaldi - 22%
The Killers - 12%
Pulp - 10%
Kings of Leon - 10%
Chappell Roan - 7%
Timothée Chalamet - 4%
Troye Sivan - 3%
Haim - 3%
The XX - 2%
Speculation that Capaldi could be the surprise act for this year comes amid Rod Stewart's announcement he will be bringing three secret guests on stage with him.
The singer has been laying low for a few years after cancelling all of his 2023 tour dates to focus on his health. However, there are rumours he is making a slow return back to music.
Just last month he delighted fans by making a surprise appearance at Tom Walker's gig at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh in honour of a leading mental health charity.
Capaldi performed six songs, including 2019 hit Someone You Loved, in aid of the Campaign Against Living Miserably (Calm), a mental health charity he has previously raised funds for.
Could Lewis be back for Glastonbury round two? Fans will need to wait and see until next weekend.

Haim fans praise band as 'born headliners' as they suffer sound issues onstage during secret Glastonbury set
Fans of girl band Haim had nothing but praise after they suffered sound issues onstage during their secret Glastonbury set on Saturday night. The Los Angeles-based rock band - which consists of three sisters - performed in front of an eager crowd who were excited to watch them live. Haim had been dropping hints about their appearance in the weeks running up to the show at Worthy Farm. But fans were delighted when they came out, although they suffered some sound issues. During their set, fans were encouragingly heard shouting 'louder, louder' as music nearby was drowning their sound out. Things were quickly corrected and sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim carried on with their highly-anticipated set. The trio took to Glastonbury for the first time since 2022, where they headlined the Pyramid Stage. This year, they performed at The Park stage - and it was well received after they had previously labelled it their favourite. Speaking to radio presenter Jo Whiley, Alana teased: 'We love The Park Stage. The Park Stage is our favourite, 'cause that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury, we got to play The Park Stage. It felt like a movie.' Dropping further hints, Alana continued: 'It was like, "What is going on? How did we get here?" And also just like… you never forget the first time you step onto the farm. 'And it's the most insane feeling, I think, that you'll ever have. But it was incredible, it's the best festival in the world.' Glastonbury Festival is well under way - and there's been plenty of highs and lows so far. On Friday, Lewis Capaldi reduced everyone to tears when he declared: 'I'm back baby' during his emotional return to the Pyramid Stage. The Scottish singer, 28, was greeted with cheers from the huge Worthy Farm crowd, two years after his battle with Tourettes left him unable to finish his performance at the festival and led to a career hiatus. Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of mega-hit Someone You Loved Delighted to back in front of an audience he tearfully said: 'Two years ago I wasn't sure if I'd ever do this again, but I'm back baby!''. Lewis sung a number of his famous hits, before once chocking back tears as he performed brand new single Survive, which highlights the difficult period in his career following his last Glastonbury gig. Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of mega-hit Someone You Loved. In his emotional speech, Lewis said: 'Glastonbury it's good to be back. Won't say too much up here today as if I do I might start crying, but I can't thank you enough for coming here and being with here'. 'Second times a charm hey! It's a short set today but just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't last time, also this was like the worst kept f*****g secret ever'.

Pulp revealed as mystery band Patchwork as they appear for Glastonbury set
The Sheffield band began with a rendition of their hit song Sorted For E's And Wizz while the words 'Pulp Summer' appeared on the screen behind them. Their performance comes 30 years after their headline performance at the festival when they stood in for The Stone Roses after the Manchester band's guitarist John Squire was injured in a cycling accident. Groups of people wearing waterproof parkas took to the stage before the performance began, and footage from their 1995 headline show was broadcast on the screen behind. Following their opening track, the Jarvis Cocker-fronted band launched into one of their best known songs, Disco 2000, from 1995's Different Class, one of the most acclaimed albums of the 1990s, prompting a mass singalong from the Glastonbury crowd. Following the song, Cocker said: 'My name's Jarvis, we're Pulp, sorry for people who were expecting Patchwork, did you know that we were going to play?' After cheers from the crowd, he added: 'Psychic? Good. 'Listen, those two songs we just played, Sorted For E's & Wizz and Disco 2000, were first played on this stage 30 years and four days ago. 'It was the very, very first time they were played – you could say they were born in Glastonbury. 'Why were we here at Glastonbury that time? We'll get into that, but if you listen to this song, which isn't so old, and actually was released four weeks ago or something, it gives you a clue in the title, and I want you all, every one of you, right back to those tents at the back, to come alive.' The band then played Spike Island, which was the first single from their first album in 24 years, More, released earlier this year, which the band said was intended as a follow-up to Sorted For E's & Wizz. Pulp also treated fans to Acrylic Afternoons from 1994's His And Hers, backed with violin, with Cocker holding some cups up as he sang about cups of tea, and appearing to throw food into the crowd. Cocker, who was wearing a brown suit and green shirt, then picked up an acoustic guitar for a performance of Something Changed from Different Class, which brought a sway from the crowd. The band finished with a double whammy of two of their best know songs, Babies and Common People, having played their breakthrough single Do You Remember The First Time? earlier in the set. Pulp's appearance comes after keyboard player Candida Doyle had appeared to confirm the band would not perform at the festival. Asked whether she would be performing on BBC 6 Music, Doyle said: 'We wanted to, just because it's the 30th anniversary and that kind of thing, and they weren't interested. 'And then we were thinking maybe next year, and then they're not doing it next year.' Formed in 1978, Pulp struggled to find success with the dark content of early albums It (1983), Freaks (1987) and Separations (1992), before finding their audience during the 1990s Britpop era with their first UK top 40 single, Do You Remember The First Time? and the subsequent His 'N' Hers album, in 1994. In 1995, they gained nationwide fame with the release of the single Common People and their Glastonbury performance. Pulp are currently made up of singer Cocker, keyboard player Doyle, drummer Nick Banks and guitarist Mark Webber, and have achieved five UK top 10 singles and two UK number one albums.
