Fans are eager to learn everything there is to know about the secret sets at this weekend’s Glastonbury, from cryptic Instagram posts to surprise appearances. We’ve put everything we know together.
Worthy Farm is already buzzing as thousands have poured through the gates of Glastonbury 2025, with its music performances kicking off in style today. While most festival-goers have their must-see acts circled on the line-up, it’s the secret sets that really set pulses racing – with Lorde already surprising a huge crowd at Woodsies this morning.
Fans have been receiving this year’s lineup for months, with only certain artists appearing on stage and new names popping up all the time. However, regular people are aware of the hidden sets.
Every summer, the festival loves to throw in a few wildcards. It starts with whispers, cryptic clues buried in the programme, and the sort of social media speculation only Glastonbury can ignite. The X (formerly Twitter) page @secretglasto has been working overtime, tipping off eager fans about the biggest surprises.What do we know so far? Let’s take a look!
Lorde
This morning, royal singer Lorde performed a secret set to a packed audience that festival organizers had to rescind.
A source told the Mirror: “It’s sweltering inside the tent given the amount of people crammed inside. Bosses are urging people to stand up off the floor to make room. Some people are leaving as it’s so intense.” However, as the crowd spilled outside the tent, the source added: “Bosses have now shut down Woodsies as crowds are so big with a festival-wide message saying: ‘Woodies is now full’.”
Lewis Capaldi
Fans were teary-eyed as Lewis Capaldi sang him through a heartfelt moment in his Tourette’s difficult finale two years ago. Survive, a raw track that explores anxiety, voice loss, and that emotional performance, was released today, exactly two years after, which many people think is a clear nod to his imminent return.
Fans have already seen posters revealing his name and a specific time on the website, but no official announcement has yet. However, it almost seems as though he’ll take to the stage when the lyrics, timing, and buzz all come together in this way.
Robbie Williams
Robbie’s been toying with us for weeks, dropping hints about a Glastonbury comeback, three decades after he first crashed the festival as a newly-solo star. At first, fans got excited when he changed his Facebook photo to a 1995 backstage snap but with tour dates abroad, people assumed it was off the cards. .
However, he posted two photos on X this morning, one of which read, “30 years later,” and the other of which featured a plaque stating that “Robbie Williams entered this area without accreditation, authorization, or alignment with prevailing taste. His presence was unwelcome, unofficial, and ultimately unavoidable. The second was the recognizable “Welcome to Glastonbury” sign, which represents a Glasto revival.
Chappell Roan
The mystery act, which is only supposed to be “Patchwork,” will take the stage on Saturday at 6:15pm. Who could possibly be has caused a meltdown on the internet, with theories ranging from Chappell Roan to Pulp to Lorde.
But it was Chappell herself who sparked a frenzy of speculation, posting a snap clutching a patchwork quilt with the caption “insane vibe.” Between the post and the timing, it’s looking very likely the Good Luck, Babe! singer is planning a surprise.
We can anticipate more bombshell appearances as the weekend draws nearer. Because of the unpredictable nature of Glastonbury performances, some of the best moments are frequently unplanned.
