Glastonbury Fans Speculate on Identity of Mystery 'Patchwork' Act

Excitement is building among Glastonbury Festival fans as they attempt to decode the mystery behind the ‘Patchwork’ slot on this year’s Pyramid Stage lineup. The full roster for the Worthy Farm event, scheduled for later this month, includes headliners such as The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo, drawing widespread attention and enthusiasm.

However, it’s the anonymous ‘Patchwork’ act, scheduled from 6pm to 7pm on Saturday, that has ignited lively speculation across fan communities. Alongside this, there’s a Friday Pyramid Stage slot marked as TBA, adding to the intrigue.

Glastonbury’s tradition of secret performances has fuelled anticipation and curiosity, with attendees eager to uncover which artists are behind these unannounced sets. Online discussions, particularly on the r/GlastonburyFestival subreddit, have seen fans propose a variety of possibilities—from rock legends to chart-topping stars and former headliners.

Suggestions for the ‘Patchwork’ slot have ranged widely, including hopes for Mumford and Sons on Friday and Pulp on Saturday. Others have speculated about contemporary acts like Haim joining the festival for surprise appearances. A more ambitious guess pointed to Oasis staging a brief comeback set, coinciding with their planned tour the following week—though this was later dismissed by the band.

Officially, neither the festival organizers nor the rumored bands have confirmed the identities behind these secret slots. Oasis publicly denied any unlisted performances, and Jarvis Cocker of Pulp insisted that their involvement would only be in an extraordinary circumstance.

Despite the uncertainty, speculation continues to swirl with names such as Sam Fender, Harry Styles, and Lewis Capaldi frequently mentioned as potential performers to fill these mysterious spots on the Pyramid Stage.

As the festival approaches, fans remain eager to experience the surprise acts that have become a beloved element of Glastonbury’s magic.
