Glastonbury Festival mystery Patchwork act revealed as iconic band take the stage
There had been much anticipation over mysterious act Patchword. Glastonbury Festival have worked extremely hard to keep the identity of the mysterious Patchwork act a secret, but just hours before the band were set to take the Pyramid stage a clue was spotted and the secret was ruined. Speculation has been swirling on social media, with fans guessing the mystery act might be Chappell Roan, Harry Styles or even Robbie Williams - though Robbie has since dismissed those rumours. Since then it has been revealed that the mysterious act Patchwork is none other than the iconic Pulp. The secret was ruined earlier when a festival goer revealed to the Mirror that they spotted a revealing clue on a sound engineer's box near the Pyramid Stage earlier today. A source has shared exclusive photographs of the boxes - one of which is labelled with the band name Pulp. The source stated: "I spotted the sound engineer box with Pulp's name on as they were setting up during the Kaiser Chiefs set." Earlier this month, the well-regarded social media account SecretGlasto, known for accurately revealing surprise acts at Worth Farm over the past decade, revealed that the anonymous act was Pulp. The SecretGlasto X (formerly Twitter) has been teasing announcements for a big reveal at 10am on Monday, June 9. The results were a video compilation set to the soundtrack of Pulp's 1995 Britpop anthem, Common People. Shared across X and Instagram, the 35 second clip featured a quote from keyboardist Candida Doyle discussing her patchwork hobby in a BBC Radio 2 interview, followed by frontman Jarvis Cocker saying it's the "best music festival I've ever been to, easy, Glastonbury." Later in the clip, former BBC Radio 1 host Scott Mills asks Jarvis, "Would you step up?" before replying, "If it was a life-or-death situation." Pulp originally headlined Glastonbury in 1995, stepping in as last-minute replacements for The Stone Roses, and returned to headline again in 1998. This year marks three decades since their breakout performance - and the release of their landmark album Different Class, which solidified their status as Britpop icons. In an interview with the BBC about the many yet-to-be announced acts at Glastonbury, Ad, who helps run the SecretGlasto social media accounts, explained: "Of the four main slots, I think we've got three of them, maybe four, nailed down." "I think it's definitely people who have got relationships with the festival who will be doing the big slots. An emotional return for one or two, I think. Some unfinished business." Ad from SecretGlasto continued: "We've got loads of contacts at different stages and record labels and whatever else. And people trust us to be sensible with the information. And the bands themselves don't want empty secret sets do they? So we have had occasions where they have come to us." Interestingly, the six individuals running the popular social media account with 87.5K followers on X have no professional ties to the music industry. Another account manager, JB, shared with the BBC: "Now that we've been around for 10 years and have a decent bit of clout, we will contact some of the artists via their inboxes, and quite often, they're happy to confirm. "Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they block us. But generally we're able to piece all that together fairly quickly."

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." The group were also mentioned by the popular social media account, SecretGlasto. For the last decade, the profile has become known for predicting the surprise act on the lineup. One person named Ad, who has helped to run the account is confident that they had correctly guessed most of the secret performers. He previously told The BBC: "Of the four main slots, I think we've got three of them, maybe four, nailed down. Harry Styles Lights Up Glastonbury Dancing and Hugging Fans Everywhere!

Chart-topping popstar drops major hint she's Glastonbury's mystery Patchwork per
Chappell Roan has got fans in a spin after she appeared to tease a possible Glastonbury Festival appearance. The gates have now opened at the Worthy Farm festival and revellers are spilling in for the 53rd Glastonbury, taking place this weekend. While Pyramid Stage headliners are confirmed as The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo, with Charli XCX on The Other Stage, there are still some question marks over a few empty slots, which are secret sets. The biggest of these is Patchwork; the fake band name teasing a huge artist who will perform on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday evening at 6.15pm. Just like The Churnups turned out to be The Foo Fighters in 2023, we've all been convinced Patchwork is Pulp – something that is pretty much a surefire thing, after reliable Glastonbury sleuths SecretGlasto said as much on social media. However, 2024's biggest breakout international popstar Chappell, 27, has just thrown out a huge curveball with a recent post. The Pink Pony Club hitmaker posted a series of throwback photos, one of which saw her waving a huge patchwork flag. Fans immediately made the link to the Glastonbury Patchwork tease, which could be brushed off as a coincidence if SecretGlasto didn't have an X bio linking her to the secret slot even more. Underneath her post, Chappell wrote: 'Insane vibe.' Meanwhile, SecretGlasto's X bio is: 'babe this is insanity.' The sleuths often post cryptic clues on their social media in the run up to Glastonbury about who the secret sets are. 'Babe' could be a link to the Midwest Princess' breakout hit Good Luck, Babe. Emily Eavis — head organiser and daughter of Sir Michael Eavis — teased that Patchwork has been 'in the works for a while'. While it seems Patchwork is still likely to be Pulp, this could be a distraction tactic from Chappell and Glastonbury insiders to keep fans guessing, meaning the star is perhaps taking up one of the other secret slots, currently on the line up as TBA. The Pyramid Stage's TBA is a short 4.55pm to 5.30pm slot on Friday, previously rumoured to be Lewis Capaldi making a lowkey Glastonbury return after his emotional set in 2023. While there were a whopping 56 TBAs on the lineup when it dropped, the big ones are heavily rumoured already. Lorde are rumoured to be making a Friday 11.30 appearance on Woodsies, while US sisters Haim are whispered to be the Park Stage's TBA on Saturday at 7.30pm. Chappell's name was bandied about with other acts – who have since been confirmed – via a source in December. A source has told The Sun at the time: 'Chappell Roan, Olivia Rodrigo and Charli XCX will all play Glastonbury next summer. 'Charli will headline The Other Stage and Chappell will be playing the Pyramid Stage. 'Olivia is coming straight to Worthy Farm after playing BST Hyde Park, so her slot is being firmed up.' The source added that organiser Emily Eavis wanted to go back to Glastonbury's rock roots with Neil Young and The 1975, but the addition of Charli, Olivia and Chappell would make a 'real statement'. Chappell and Olivia also go way back, as before her stratospheric rise to fame the Red Wine Supernova supported Olivia on her tour. A few weeks ago at Primavera Sound, Chappell was Charli XCX's 'Apple girl', as she was filmed dancing along to the viral track in the crowd, as is tradition for the Brat queen's gigs. This comes after Pulp keyboardist Candida Doyle told BBC6 Music they were rejected by Glastonbury through what sounded like stifled laughter. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video When asked, she 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.' Her comments come after Pulp's frontman Jarvis Cocker said the band would only perform at the iconic festival this year in a 'life or death situation'. More Trending Watch this space, it's going to be an interesting Glastonbury. If Chappell is Patchwork, there will be a lot of angry Pulp fans, who have waited for their return to the festival for 30 years. The Britpop icons headlined the festival in 1995 after The Stone Roses pulled out, going down in history as one of the best performances. Every year, rumours circulate that Pulp will return but since 1998 we've been left disappointed – except for some solo sets from the frontman. Now, with a new album More – their first in 24 years – and summer arena tours happening, it seems likely 2025 is the right time. Got a story?
