Glastonbury 2025 Patchwork Odds Latest: Chappell Roan now hot favourite for secret set with eight acts in the frame
This week will see 135,000 people pack into Worthy Farm for perhaps the biggest musical event of the year - the Glastonbury Festival .
They'll see headliners The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo and Neil Young, along with hundreds of other acts across over 100 stages.
But looking at the schedule on the official website, music fans will see numerous timeslots with 'TBA' next to them - with no indication of who will be playing. It could be a global megastar, or some busker from down the road on an acoustic guitar. Such is the joy of the festival.
There are some big gaps to be filled - most intriguingly third on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday, where there is plenty of interest about who exactly 'Patchwork' are.
Numerous names have been suggested, but with just a few days to go, eight names seem to be the most likely.
Here's who they are, and how likely it is that they'll play, according to Casino Beats.
1 . Chappell Roan - 1/2

2 . Haim - 4/1
The three sisters of Haim have a new album out and are in the UK with free time on Glastonbury weekend. The fact that there's a book called 'Patchwork' written by a German author called Sylvia HAIM means some people reckoned they've solved the riddle of the mysterious band of the same name appearing third on the bill on the Saturday. Having been favourites they have now drifted out to 4/1. | Getty Images for LOUIS VUITTON x Photo Sales
3 . Pulp - 7/1
Another band with an acclaimed new album out and who are currently touring (but have a gap at Glastonbury-time) are Sheffield indie stars Pulp. They've headlined twice in the past, including stepping in at short notice when The Stone Roses pulled out, and would be a popular booking. They are priced at 7/1 third favourites, despite repeatedly denying they are playing (protesting too much maybe?). | Getty Images Photo Sales
4 . Mumford & Sons - 12/1
Mumford & Sons released fifth studio album 'Rushmore' earlier this year and are getting back to playing live - recently headlining Radio 1's Big Weekend. They topped the bill on the Pyramid Stage in 2013. It would seem to be a good time for them to return - ahead of a fallow year in 2026. They are priced at 12/1. | Getty Images for Warner Bros.

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis slams anti-IDF chants
Eavis, whose father Michael co-founded the festival, posted on Instagram on Sunday morning responding to rap duo Bob Vylan's set the day before. "Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the Festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence," she wrote. She said that while "as a festival, we stand against all forms of war and terrorism - we will always believe in - and actively campaign for - hope, unity, peace and love", adding a performer's comments "should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs". Eavis added: "With almost 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share." The rappers' set was streamed live on the BBC on Saturday, showing one of them shouting the slogan into the mic, with some of the crowd joining in. They also performed in front of a screen that claimed Israel's actions in Gaza amount to "genocide". The Israeli embassy posted on X in the hours after the set saying it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric". It said the slogan used "advocates for the dismantling of the State of Israel".

Sir Rod Stewart joined by trio of veteran superstars for rousing Glastonbury set
The tea-time legends slot saw him perform alongside his former Faces bandmember Ronnie Wood, Simply Red's Mick Hucknall, and Scottish singer Lulu. He was also joined by the festival's founder, Sir Michael Eavis, who was wheeled onto the stage by his daughter, organiser Emily Eavis. The first music star welcomed to the stage was Hucknall, 65, for a rendition of Simply Red hit If You Don't Know Me By Now. Rolling back the years, Sir Rod then performed Faces 1971 hit Stay With Me while The Rolling Stones star Wood, 78, played guitar. After this Lulu made her entrance, wearing an all white ensemble, to sing Hot Legs alongside Sir Rod. Bagpipes had signalled the arrival of Sir Rod, who kicked off his afternoon performance with his 1981 single, Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me). 'I'm here, enjoy yourselves ladies and gentleman please, music brings us together, we need music', he told the large crowd who had gathered to see him. The 80-year-old, who recently cancelled a slew of shows while recovering from the flu, wore flared trousers, a white shirt and a black jacket, before changing into a green suit. Across his set he played songs including Some Guys Have All The Luck, Forever Young, The First Cut Is The Deepest, and Maggie May, which he performed from a runway that jutted out into the crowd. Before he launched into a cover, Ukrainian flags were shown on a screen behind Sir Rod, who said: 'There's been a lot about the Middle East recently, quite rightly so, but I want to draw your attention to Ukraine in the next song, it's called the Love Train.' Earlier on Sunday, organisers said chants by punk duo Bob Vylan 'crossed a line' after the performer, Bobby Vylan, led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of 'Death, death to the IDF'. A joint Instagram post from Glastonbury and Emily Eavis said: 'As a festival, we stand against all forms of war and terrorism.' It added: 'We are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday. 'Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.' Health Secretary Wes Streeting told Sky News' Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips that chants of 'death' to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) at Glastonbury were 'appalling' and that the BBC and festival have 'questions to answer'. A BBC spokesperson added: '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.' Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's Saturday performance, a Government spokesperson said. Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence from Bob Vylan and Kneecap's performances would be assessed by officers 'to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation'. Kneecap, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. The group performed after Vylan's set on the West Holts Stage and in reference to his bandmate's forthcoming court date, Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said they would 'start a riot outside the courts', before clarifying: 'No riots just love and support, and support for Palestine'. Irish noise rockers Gurriers asked if anyone had seen Kneecap's set during their Sunday performance, before adding: 'Well it's the Irish takeover at Glastonbury this year I think.' British soul singer Celeste opened the Pyramid Stage on Sunday before rock outfit The Libertines took to the stage. At one point in the set frontman Pete Doherty broke into Sir Rod's Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?. Other notable performances came from British funk group Cymande, US singer Shaboozey, and Australian duo Royel Otis. Over at the Pilton Palais cinema actress Jodie Comer answered questions about her career and said she feels 'really excited' to embark on the UK and Ireland tour of Prima Facie – the play that saw her win a best actress Olivier.
