As the countdown to Glastonbury 2025 ticks into its final hours, excitement is at fever pitch, and now one of the festival’s biggest mysteries might have been solved.
Among the hundreds of announced acts this year, a curious entry caught everyone’s attention: a performer listed simply as “Patchwork”. With no photo, bio, or links, it sparked a flurry of speculation across social media and Reddit threads.
Now, fans are convinced that Chappell Roan, the vibrant American pop star behind viral hits like Pink Pony Club and Good Luck, Babe, is the mystery artist in question.
The rumour mill kicked into high gear when Chappell herself posted a suspiciously well-timed photo on Instagram this week, showing her wrapped in, you guessed it, a patchwork quilt. The caption? Just two words: “Insane vibe.”

For festival-goers and eagle-eyed fans, that was the final clue.
“This means she is defo Patchwork!” one user commented on Reddit.
“This post all but confirms it!” another wrote.
“What a great act, can’t wait to see her perform,” added a third.
The secret set will take place at an unannounced time and location, keeping in line with Glastonbury’s tradition of surprise guests. Over the years, hidden or last-minute sets have included names like The Killers, Lady Gaga, and even Radiohead.
If true, Chappell Roan’s Glastonbury debut comes at a pivotal moment in her career. After opening for Olivia Rodrigo on her Guts World Tour and building a loyal LGBTQ+ fanbase, she’s now hailed as one of pop’s boldest new voices. Her theatrical fashion, powerhouse vocals, and tongue-in-cheek lyrics would make her an unforgettable addition to this year’s eclectic line-up.
The festival opens its gates tomorrow, with major headliners including The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo. But if "Patchwork" is indeed Chappell Roan, her set may just steal the show.
