Pulp were amazing. Clear highlight of the weekend.

Tame Impala on the other hand were one of the worst acts I've ever witnessed. They got a fraction better right at the end but the first half an hour was like watching a few school kids trying to play some 60's songs in class. Inept guitar playing, no stage presence and couldn't hear a thing that the singer was saying. Probably a good thing.

Hopefully that's it for secret guests at the park, they'll never beat this year's and it makes the whole area isn't set up for the numbers of people that turn up.

One of the best experiences of my life. It was utterly amazing, with some of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and I had a great view, and I was surrounded by very, VERY understanding people as I am an uber-fan and pretty much sang the whole way through the set as well as talking to Jarve at his every Southern-Yorkshire utterance.

Cried through Sunrise and Something Changed, song of the gig being Acrylic Afternoons which I never saw them play when I saw them last, which was well over seven years ago but believe me, my headboard is still going for you Jarve! x

Cheers! What did Jarvis do in Shangri La that night? I was told he was there but didn't attempt getting in

he played with discodeine, they have a song together. it really was great fun, he seemed to enjoy it pretty much too. and i think johnny depp was standing next to me some time (yes, i really want somebody to say "i saw him too!"   )

[blackcockerel]

Ah of course, forgot they were playing

[ukslim]

It was a lucky break for me. I was up at the Park to watch Graham Coxon. I didn't have any plan to hunt out what the special guests were, but I happened to be next to the sound desk when someone asked, and overheard them say it was "probably" Pulp.

So we hung around at the Park for the rest of the afternoon. Missed Battles, but it was probably worth it.

Great set, although not set of the festival for me -- that would be The Joy Formidable!

Great gig, one of the highlights of the weekend for me, probably THE highlight, got their early, had a great view, but still think they should have been playing one of the big stages

[blackcockerel]

Eavis said on the Sunday that, as i suspected, Jarvis specifically asked to play there. Looks likely they'll headline in 2013 doesn't it?

To be honest, given all the stories of people complaining about people at the Pyramid or the Other, often not looking bothered about being seeing whoever they were seeing, it was a bit of a blessing this was on the Park Stage. Yeah, the majority didn't get a good view, but you were surrounded people who wanted to see a reformed Pulp

I couldn't get in The Park to see them

Pulp where the highlight for me, I think I enjoyed it a lot more on the park than I would have on the Pyramid Stage as funnily enough I had a much better view (there was quite a bit of room down the left hand side) Loved it when he dipped into has carrier bag and pulled out a couple of frisbees along with as he put it an ix (singular version of a twix)

I was down that side as well. It was because it was sticky that people stayed away from it. But the first frisbee was actually caught by the man in front of me. It was signed!

In fact Here was my view

100% agree.

I'm very jealous of you all. We walked past on our way up to our tent in Park Home just as they were playing Disco 2000... never seen the Park that packed. Absolutely stunning. Looked fantastic!

-bad points...until i saw what javis looked like on youtube i didnt have a clue!! - ah well...im 5ft, i wasd never gonna see much anyway without big screens. - i didnt get as close as o wanted because i did far, far too much the night before. lol - in a good way but i danced (with feet struck in mud)and screamed every lyric. Absolutely brilliant.

Thank You Pulp for making my year!. xxxxx

[puppetmode]

Loved it.


Was back at the tent at 6pm when a text came through that it was definitely Pulp so sauntered over there for 6.30 and got a great place on the far side under the pink washing line against the 'piss' fence.

Always wanted to see them after being a huge fan since they made it big but never got the chance before. Saw Jarvis in the John Peel 2 years ago and was overwhelmed and this was on a par.

Such a great front man. Shame a lot of people talked over his talking as he's very entertaining but managed to match most of what he said.

This was my nuumber one set of Glastonbury followed by The Jim Jones Review and TV On The Radio

[FluffyFairy]

Def my favourite GLastonbury performance of 2011. I almost cried with excitement

[sime]

I got to The Park early as I was hoping it would be PULP. Was close and had a great view. Best set of the weekend for me, felt fantastic to be a part of it! PULP!

It really was something special. Absolutely amazing in every sense. When they opened with Do You Remember The First Time I don't think I've ever been happier. The whole set from start to finish was simply perfect even down to Jarvis's banter with the crowd and what an amazing setlist.

I really don't think anything will ever surpass that at Glastonbury for me, perfect band, perfect setlist, perfect setting.

'I really don't think anything will ever surpass that at Glastonbury for me, perfect band, perfect setlist, perfect setting. '

This is exactly how I feel! I have listened to the BBC highlights 15 times today crying with joy. Really

There's some great YouTube footage out there
