The SecretGlasto X/Twitter account, which has a decent track record of outing mystery acts, was first to unmask Patchwork. Today, an eagle-eyed fan told the Mirror: “I spotted the sound engineer box with Pulp’s name on as they were setting up during the Kaiser Chiefs set.”
To add to the intrigue, Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker performed a secret DJ set at Glastonbury Festival on Friday, so we know for certain he’s on site at Worthy Farm.
Today’s Pulp performance will mark the 30th anniversary of the band’s 1995 Glastonbury debut, which propelled their classic Britpop album “Different Class” to four-times platinum status.

Who is Patchwork?
Patchwork is a mystery act scheduled to perform on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage in 2025, and nobody knows who they really are! The mysterious band is slotted between John Fogerty and Raye on Glastonbury Festival 2025’s Pyramid Stage.
The identity has sparked speculation online, with fans and music journalists trying to crack the code. The main theories include:
Pulp – The Sheffield band are currently 6/4 favorites to be behind the secret slot, known for their iconic 1995 Glastonbury headline set. The name ‘Pulp’ has even been spotted on some gear being assembled backstage today.
Haim – Online sleuths discovered there’s a book titled “Patchwork” written by one Susan Haim, leading to speculation it could be the LA sister trio.
Chappell Roan – Some fans are convinced it’s the pop superstar after she posted a photo to Instagram holding a patchwork blanket. However, she does not appear to be in the U.K. let alone the Glastonbury Festival.
It’s definitely a major artist using “Patchwork” as a pseudonym. The mystery will be solved in a matter of hours now…
