Pulp Surprises Glastonbury Fans with a Nostalgic Set on the Pyramid Stage

Pulp made a surprise appearance at Glastonbury, taking to the Pyramid Stage after being billed as the non-existent act ‘Patchwork.’ Fans had speculated about their appearance, especially after the mystery surrounding unannounced acts like Lewis Capaldi. The Sheffield band performed their iconic hits such as ‘Sorted For E’s And Whizz’ and ‘Disco 2000,’ both of which had not been performed live on the same stage for 30 years. The surprise set also included their new song, ‘Spike Island,’ from their first album in 24 years, ‘More.’ Pulp’s tribute to their 1995 performance, where they took over from The Stone Roses, included a full range of hits like ‘Common People’ and ‘Babies,’ which sent the crowd into a nostalgic frenzy. The band’s set also included poignant moments like ‘Something Changed.’ Despite earlier statements by band member Candida Doyle suggesting they wouldn’t perform, Pulp’s Glastonbury appearance was an unforgettable moment in the festival’s history, marking the band’s legacy in the music world. This surprise set joins a long list of unannounced performances, including those by Foo Fighters and Radiohead, which have become some of the most memorable moments at the festival.
