But with the official timings being released by the Glasto team, an obvious gap on the main Pyramid Stage has got fans scratching their heads.
However, on Reddit, some believe they may have cracked it – believing Ed Sheeran is adding the festival to his string of surprise appearances.
"Ed sheeran for the TBA pyramid set. Been doing secret gigs all year and this fits," wrote one.
"Ed Sheeran I think. Been doing secret sets all year. Just popping up," said another.
While another noted: "Ed Sheeran did a 35 minute surprise set at big weekend recently."
Ed Sheeran left fans stunned at Radio One's Big Weekender last week when he rocked up on the New Music stage for a surprise slot.
The guitar-playing crooner has been promoting his new album, Play, which is set for release in September.
As part of this, he has released a number of new songs - including lead track Azizam and Old Phone – to get fans excited.
To kick off promotion of the album, Ed joined Jimmy Fallon to perform on New York's Subway in disguise, dressing up like an emo rocker.
Glastonbury is never short of exciting surprises on the line-up, with another leaving fans convinced that HAIM will make an appearance on Saturday.

There are still several 'TBA' slots that hint at secret sets on the Pyramid Stage and beyond – while others are mysterious bands with names fans don't recognise.
The Saturday 6.15pm slot has a mysterious band called "Patchwork", and fans have been trying to work out what it means.
One noted: "Patchwork is a book by the author Sylvia Haim..."
It follows a similar mystery in 2023 when ChurnUps were revealed to be the Foo Fighters.
The mysterious addition to the line-up comes as the cherry on the top of a stellar line-up, which includes Rod Stewart reuniting part of his supergroup Faces as part of his Legends slot.

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Dua Lipa has emulated her idol Madonna by playing Wembley Stadium at the age of 29 Credit: Getty 4 Madonna was also 29 when she headlined Wembley in 1987 as part of her Who's That Girl Tour Credit: Redferns 4 It caps a meteoric rise for Dua, whose first UK gig was at a 375-people capacity venue in Hackney nine years ago. She is the same age as Madonna was when she headlined Wembley in 1987 as part of her Who's That Girl Tour. Just five other women ­— Beyonce, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Adele and Pink — have headlined the venue. Only Swift and Rihanna were younger than Dua, both performing there aged 28. Adele was also 29, tying with Dua as the youngest-ever Brit. An insider told The Sun: 'Playing Wembley is a dream come true for Dua and to sell out both nights feels incredible. She's not even at the peak yet and has so much more she wants to achieve. 'To be headlining stadiums with just three albums under her belt proves how influential her music has been. Her world tour has been a huge success. She's on cloud nine.' Fans had been camping outside in North West London since Thursday to see her on the Radical Optimism Tour. Last night, Dua opened with 2024 hit Training Season, and went on to perform her four UK No 1 singles New Rules, One Kiss, Cold Heart and Dance The Night. Dua's family and actor fiancé Callum Turner were also there.

He said: 'There was something about the way she said it that made me believe her. 'It was about her personality, her charisma, her competitiveness and her drive — and that came across. Dua's got it all.' Madonna appeared on a 2020 remix of her song Levitating. Dua recalled: 'I was talking with my manager and I was like, 'You know who'd sound really good on this? Madonna.' 'And he said, 'We could send it to her and see if she likes it.' She responded and she was so down. 'I couldn't believe that she wanted to do this record with me. I'm such a fan. It was really exciting.'

Sabrina Carpenter breaks British icon's album chart record amid controversy

Sabrina Carpenter has left a forever mark on the UK charts, breaking the record for the longest consecutive streak in the top five album chart. Her hit album, Short N' Sweet, has now spent a massive 43 consecutive weeks at the top, according to the Official Charts Company. The 26-year-old singer's achievement officially topples Ed Sheeran from the top spot. Sheeran's 2021 album, =, had a record-setting 42-week stay in the top five, a claim which he managed to hold onto until Sabrina's album came along. Oasis have stormed back into the UK albums chart, climbing to number two with their greatest hits collection Time Flies… 1994–2009, as anticipation builds for their upcoming Oasis Live '25 reunion tour. The Britpop icons, who disbanded in 2009, officially confirmed their return in August 2024. The long-awaited tour kicks off in Cardiff this July, with major shows lined up in Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin. Topping the UK albums chart for the first time this week is musician James Marriott, whose debut album Don't Tell The Dog takes the number one spot. The news comes just days after Sabrina revealed the cover for her upcoming album Man's Best Friend, which sparked enormous backlash. The image, which depicts Carpenter on her knees, in a short black dress and heels, holding the leg of a suited man as he yanks her hair, is shocking many fans. On Instagram, @edersoaresx wrote, 'Lol this cover art is so disgusting. As a fan I don't like it :(.' Reddit user Potential-Friend-133 said, 'The first image is very triggering for me. I hate this. A LOT.' More Trending Others have argued that the album cover is satirical or even a moment of political commentary. On the singles chart, Alex Warren reclaims the top spot with Ordinary landing at number one, followed by Sabrina Carpenter's latest hit Manchild in second place. Ravyn Lenae's Love Me Not holds steady at number three, while Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club remains firmly at number four. Got a story?

Glastonbury's secret act 'confirmed' as fans spot huge clue just days before

Glastonbury Festival is set to make a triumphant return this year, with the likes of The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo headlining - but there's still a mystery act on the bill Has Glastonbury Festival 's secret act accidentally been revealed? Music fans certainly think so. An American rock legend arriving in London just days ahead of things kicking off at Worthy Farm has people convinced the singer's band is set to play the hush-hush set. The iconic music festival is returning on Wednesday, with British pop band The 1975, folk star Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop singer Olivia Rodrigo topping the bill. ‌ Glastonbury is running from June 25 to June 29 this year with performances from the likes of US rapper Doechii, UK singer Raye and veteran rocker Sir Rod Stewart, who will be playing during the coveted legends slot. Also performing is Irish rap trio Kneecap, US star Gracie Abrams and alternative pop singer Charli XCX. ‌ The line-up features a number of acts listed as TBA, as well as a mysterious act called Patchwork, who will take to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday. Careful not to draw speculation as to who the act could be, organiser Emily Eavis recently said: "I've been working on Patchwork for a long time." She also admitted that planning for their appearance had taken about a year for "logistical" reasons. Fans are convinced Patchwork are in fact The Foo Fighters, thanks to Dave Grohl being spotted in London recently. The rocker, who last year announced he had become a father again after an extramarital affair, was seen backstage at the Yeah Yeah Yeahs gig at the Royal Albert Hall. Grohl, who posed for a photo with American singer Amanda Palmer at the gig, is no stranger to surprise Glastonbury sets. In 2023, his band performed at the Somerset festival under the alias The Churn Ups - their first major UK gig since the death of the band's drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022. And Glastonbury fans are convinced a similar thing will be happening again this year. "Dave Grohl is in London, likely will be at the festival," one Reddit user penned as the pictures of Grohl hit social media. "Has done bits with John Fogerty in the past and other acts. Surely will be popping up at places this year?" ‌ Another added: "100% he will be milling about – I'd say a couple of guest appearances are a safe bet. Maybe Alanis for a song or Neil Young for an encore." Glastonbury Festival has sold "a few thousand less tickets" this year in a bid to avoid overcrowding, organiser Emily Eavis said earlier this month. ‌ In an appearance on the Sidetracked podcast Eavis, 45, outlined the changes that have been made to this year's festival and said music area Shangri-La is "going full trees and green space" which is "completely the opposite to anything they've done in the past". She also revealed that the festival has managed to buy some land that sits "just on the outside of the site", which will be used for crew members. She added: "We've also sold a few thousand less tickets, so it will be interesting just to see how that affects the dynamics on site." The first group of tickets for the event sold out in 30 minutes last November, with the second lot selling out in fewer than 40. Eavis said times have changed, adding: "There were years where you just couldn't sell out, you just couldn't give them (the tickets) away." Also at the festival, presenters Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw will take to the BBC Introducing stage on June 26 for a live episode of Sidetracked.
