Olivia Dean has revealed she’s playing a secret set at Glastonbury 2025 – check below for all the details.

Today (June 27), the London singer-songwriter shared an Instagram story with fans featuring her perched on a car at the Worthy Farm festival. “Back again,” she wrote. “Strummerville @ 3pm.”

This afternoon’s performance is set to be one of many secret sets that fans have been speculating about since organisers shared the full line-up and day splits. With a whopping 56 TBAs and a mysterious guest called “Patchwork”, some have also guessed that Dean’s collaborator Sam Fender may also make an appearance at the festival. Amidst his giant summer outdoor shows this year, there’s a hefty Glasto-sized gap in his touring schedule.

Most notably, there’s a glaring ‘TBA’ at the Pyramid stage on Friday before Alanis Morrissette‘s set. There’s also a mystery show at the Woodsies early on Friday at 11.30am, whilst the Park Stage also has a gap on Saturday in between Gary Numan and Beth Gibbons.

A mysterious band called “Patchwork” will also be playing at the Pyramid Stage on Saturday. In 2023, Glastonbury platformed another mysterious band at the Pyramid called the Churnups, who turned out to be the Foo Fighters. This year, it’s been speculated Patchwork could actually be Haim – and they are playing an isolated one-off date in Margate on June 27 ahead of their ‘I Quit’ tour starting in September.

News of Dean’s secret set follows the announcement of her second album, titled ‘The Art Of Loving’, which is set for release on September 26. Visit here to pre-order.

After her Worth Farm stint, Dean will join Sabrina Carpenter at her BST Hyde Park show on 6th July, then embark on her sold-out North American tour.

In other Olivia Dean-related news, she has released the duet version of ‘Rein Me In’ with Sam Fender, which was originally featured on Fender’s third and latest studio album ‘People Watching’.

Since it was shared, the Geordie singer-songwriter has been putting a new spin on the song during his huge live show across the UK. The first of which took place at London Stadium earlier this month, when Fender brought Dean out to the 80,000-strong crowd and performed a collaborative rendition.

The two of them would then join forces twice more at shows to share the duet – both held at Fender’s huge homecoming shows at Newcastle’s St. James’ Park.
