Best Glastonbury 2025 moments from Lewis Capaldi's return to secret Pulp set
Glastonbury kicked off its 2025 line-up with the return of Lewis Capaldi and a surprise pre-lunchtime set from Lorde, who had been rumoured as a secret booking for the festival. The pair aren't the only unlisted stars who could make an appearance at Worthy Farm this weekend - other names in the mix include Pulp, Haim and Oasis. Take a look at the highlights from this year's Glastonbury Festival so far, and what there is to look forward to over the coming days. Friday night saw Lewis Capaldi return to the festival, two years after announcing a break. There had been speculation about the star making a comeback, as the Pyramid Stage schedule had a mysterious "TBA" listing for 4:55pm - 5:30pm. The Scottish singer stepped out on stage to huge applause, launching straight into his 2019 hit, Before You Go. "Glastonbury it's so good to be back," he said after performing his track Grace. "I'm not going to say much up here today because if I do I think I'll probably start crying, but it's just amazing to be here with you all and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me." It had been expected that the star would return to the festival after a tough experience on the same stage in 2023. Capaldi, who has spoken out about mental health struggles and his Tourette's diagnosis, was unable to finish singing his hit Someone You Loved. His fans movingly helped him through the performance by singing the song for him, but he later cancelled all shows for the foreseeable future, saying he was "still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's". He performed Someone You Loved during Friday's set, looking emotional as he told the crowd: "I couldn't sing this song two years ago for a different reason. I think I might struggle to sing it this time for another reason. But this time it's a good reason." Capaldi also released new music at midnight - single Survive, which explores his mental health problems in the lyrics. Lorde was heavily rumoured to be putting in an appearance at Glastonbury, and the New Zealand star delighted fans by beginning the festival at 11:30am on Friday on the Woodsies stage in a mystery "TBA" slot. Lorde released her fourth album, Virgin, at midnight and played it in full, telling the crowd: "I didn't know if I'd make another record to be honest. But I'm back [and] completely free." Rumours of the Royals star playing the Woodsies stage were so widespread that festival security closed access to the field because of overcrowding before she took to the stage. Ever since the Glasto 2025 line-up was announced, the big question has been — who are Patchwork? Squeezing inbetween John Fogerty and Raye on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday, June 28, the mystery of Patchwork had all but evaporated though, as the enormous crowd awaited a potential homecoming for Jarvis Cocker and his band Pulp. Prior to their unveiling — a background screen eventually asked: 'Are you ready for... PULP SUMMER' — the stage was shielded by a line of people in ponchos while the rockers got in position to plough straight into hit tunes Sorted for E's & Wizz and Disco 2000. After doing so, frontman Cocker addressed the sea of fans with: "Hello, my name's Jarvis. This is Pulp. Sorry for people who were expecting Patchwork, did you know we were gonna play?" A collective yell of 'YEAH!' rang out. "How?" he said, "Psychic, good. Listen, those two songs we just played 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." Cocker, who has appeared in a variety of Wes Anderson films, later segwayed from singing Acrylic Afternoons into generously throwing teabags out to the people. "Share them," he made sure to mention. Prior to Pulp's big secret being popped, Haim were also speculated to be playing the 6.15pm to 7.15pm slot after a fan unearthed a tenuous link to the artist codename through German author Sylvia Haim, who wrote a book titled Patchwork. One act definitely playing Glastonbury is Kneecap, due on the West Holts stage on Saturday at 4pm. But with controversy following the group wherever they go, whether or not the BBC will be able to cover their set has been up in the air. It's just over a week since one of the members appeared in court charged with a terror offence and although the BBC is the home of Glastonbury coverage, airing Kneecap's set live could prove too risky - particularly after their comments on stage at Coachella festival in the US earlier in the year. Prime minister Sir Keir Starmer has said he doesn't think they should be on the Glastonbury line-up, while festival organiser Emily Eavis has now responded to his comments with "everyone is welcome here". On Friday, 27 June Jo Whiley, who is covering Glastonbury on the BBC, suggested to BBC Radio 4 that Kneecap's set would air, saying: "If the performance goes out...I believe it is..." Even outside of the mystery acts, Glastonbury has some big moments lined up with a packed schedule and some superstar headliners. Friday's headline act is The 1975, while Saturday sees Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts take to the Pyramid Stage, and Olivia Rodrigo closes Glastonbury on Sunday night. Of course, there's an endless schedule of other acts to pack in, including Charli XCX headlining the Other Stage on Saturday, Busta Rhymes putting in an appearance on Friday, and Rod Stewart taking to the Pyramid Stage on Sunday afternoon. Other highly-anticipated performances include Raye, John Fogerty and Alanis Morissette. Glastonbury coverage continues across the BBC and on BBC iPlayer all weekend.

During Kneecap's set, band member Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said: 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.'
