There are only two weeks to go until Glastonbury 2025 kicks off and festival fans think they’ve worked out who secret act Patchwork really is.
Speculation has been growing about the various secret sets across Worthy Farm but it looks like this biggest lineup mystery has been ‘confirmed’.
Names like Haim, Harry Styles, Timothee Chalamet, Robbie Williams, and even Oasis have been mentioned as potential performers (despite Noel and Liam Gallagher distinctly saying no).
However, it seems Patchwork’s identity has been ‘confirmed’ by popular Glastonbury hint account SecretGlasto.
According to the anonymous tip poster, none other than Pulp will be taking to the Pyramid Stage in that primetime slot of 6.15pm on Saturday, June 28.
SecretGlasto shared a video of a patchwork quilt and someone using a sewing machine before cutting to clips of Jarvis Cocker and Pulp.
Formed in Sheffield in 1978, Pulp grew in popularity in the mid-1990s, firstly with their 1994 album His ‘n’ Hers and its follow-up Different Class.
In the background clips from recent interviews with the Common People hitmakers discussing Glastonbury — and Candida Doyle’s love of Patchwork.
While speaking to Jo Whiley, the 61-year-old musician shared: ‘I used to do patchwork when I was on tour and I made a really nice bit of patchwork, that’s all I can think of right now.’
Then there’s frontman Jarvis, 61, who confirmed he will be going to Glastonbury this year for a DJ set at the Stone Bridge bar.
However, when pushed by Scott Mills about the possibility of taking to the Pyramid Stage, he said only in a ‘life or death situation’.
Fans have taken SecretGlasto’s post as fact, with ruwise commenting on Instagram: ‘So glad that Jarvis realised that it was a life or death situation for me.’
‘Hope this is real?🙌’ said kellyknox123 as miaandfam wrote: ‘So Jarvis lied to me on @bbc6music then hey? 😮.’
‘Better not be a stitch up,’ added james.wilford, with some mystery still surrounding an account for Patchwork which has not been verified.
‘Still dont think it’s pulp…… on the “patchwork” account the date is in american format….. would pulp say “ya’ll” on a post like americans do,’ said shepherd_ali.
Stuartbrown12 replied: ‘That patchwork account could be run by anyone, the blue tick doesn’t mean anything these days. Secret glasto is usually right about these things.’
SecretGlasto does have a tendency to be correct, although not always — in 2023 they said James Acaster was doing a secret set but it was not the comedian.
The popular account did apologise for the confusion, but we’ll happily excuse one error every so often.
Pulp have just returned with new music and a tour, although it is bittersweet as the band lost bassist Steve Mackey in 2023.
The band themselves have not confirmed anything, but they’re unlikely to say either way until the big day — watch this space.
