Saturday is full of talking points, from the surrounding mystery of the band "Patchwork" through to Neil Young hitting the main stage, but not on the BBC. Let's start with the latter: earlier this week the BBC released their full broadcast plans, and Young was a conspicuous absentee. The reasons are so far unclear, though Young has expressed anti-BBC sentiment in the past. For more context, click here.

Kaiser Chiefs (Pyramid Stage, 12pm)

This long-standing British favourite is setting the tone for the day by kicking off the Pyramid stage acts with their crowd-pleasing anthems including I Predict A Riot, Oh My God, Never Miss a Beat and Ruby.

Patchwork (Pyramid Stage, 6pm)

This seemingly "unknown band" has become one of the most speculated acts of the year – but with a space on the Pyramid Stage, who exactly are they? Emily Eavis has confirmed that it's a known artist (or artists) under a fake name, with theories suggesting it could be HAIM.

Doechii (West Holts Stage, 10.15pm)

The Denial Is A River rapper is the headliner, and while she clashes with Charli XCX, is sure to bring down the house with catchy tracks. The BBC's Clara Amfo has shared her excitement at seeing the musician take to the stage, telling RT: “My one to watch at Glastonbury this year has got to be Doechii, Doechii, Doechii!”

Charli XCX (Other Stage, 10.30pm)

After her acclaimed album Brat led to many young people referring to this time last year as "Brat Summer", Charli XCX is closing out Saturday's Other Stage as the headliner in what is sure to be absolute style. Huw Stephens has billed her as his Glasto highlight, telling us: "Charli XCX headlining the Other Stage Saturday will be unlike anything you've seen before – a moment of intense cultural intrigue! See you there!"
