Glastonbury's mystery act Patchwork - likeliest stars performing under fake name
Fans attending Glastonbury Festival have been speculating who could be performing on Saturday evening as an unknown band called Patchwork are expected to take to the stage Glastonbury festivalgoers will be entertained by a mystery act on Saturday night as a band that had never been known of before have been given a plum slot. A band called Patchwork are due to take to the main stage on Saturday night at 6:15pm. However, music fans have been left scratching their heads over who the act could be. The slot has been granted to the band with John Fogerty and Raye performing the slots on either side of the set. With prolific artist performing around the mystery act, most fans are convinced it is a fake name for an established act. Glastonbury has a track record of hiding big name performers behind fake band titles. In 2023, Foo Fighters performed on the Pyramid Stage - taking fans by surprise because they were billed as a band called The Churnups. So far at the 2025 festival, Lorde and Lewis Capaldi have both taken to the stage while not previously being advertised. Now speculation is rife as to who will take over the slot at 6:15pm - with a number of big name acts linked to the performance slot. Pulp Legendary Brit-pop band Pulp are the hot favourites to be the performers taking to the stage. The band is fronted by Jarvis Cocker and major singles include Common People and Disco 2000. Equipment belonging to the band has been spotted at the Glastonbury grounds, leading to the expectation they will perform to the crowds. A source told The Mirror: "I spotted the sound engineer box with Pulp's name on as they were setting up during the Kaiser Chiefs set." While social media account SecretGlasto, which has built up a reputation for confirming secret Worthy Farm acts for the past ten years, has previously declared that Pulp are the secret performers. Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson Former One Direction star Harry Styles was spotted enjoying the sunshine and music at Glastonbury Festival on Friday afternoon - sparking hopes he might perform while he is at Worthy Farm. The star was spied at the festival alongside bandmate Louis Tomlinson - who is also attending with his new girlfriend Zara McDermott. While some fans might hope both or one of the singers will entertain the crowds, it appears Louis is there purely to enjoy himself. A source told The Mirror: "Louis is determined to make it a weekend to remember and has planned everything with military like precision - including making sure enough booze is available. He has his own tent - and one just for the drinks. "Everyone is saying it's a nice break for him and Zara but it's a great way also for Zara to meet his mates. It will definitely be a boozy one and not a particularly romantic one." Chappell Roan American pop princess Chappell Roan fuelled speculation she could be attending Glastonbury under the name Patchwork after she made a telling comment to BBC Radio. After the 2025 lineup was revealed, some fans questioned if the act could refer to the star - who wore a pink patchwork suit to the Met Gala. In a recent Instagram post, she shared a photo of herself posing with a large patchwork throw that she had made out of different coloured material. The singer, whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, shared the image which was part of a collection of photos that she captioned: "Insane vibe." Robbie Williams Former Take That star Robbie Williams seemed happy to tease that he would be appearing at the festival at some point over the weekend. On Friday he shared a social media post with the simple caption: "30 years later..." This appeared to be in reference to his appearance at the festival back in 1995. It was while there that Rob was snapped partying with Oasis's Liam and Noel Gallagher. This changed perceptions of the star among pop music fans and some of the squeaky clean boy band glow began to wear off him. He quit Take That soon after and went on to launch his successful solo career.
