Any sign of Pulp yet?

[angelin]

Im still shocked they arent in the original line up. Im kicking myself for not getting a ticket for their tour. Where could they even be slotted in at this stage? I dont think ive done a Glastonbury without seeing Jarvis is some shape or form.

Supporting evidence:
- They're free over Glasto weekend
- Nick Banks cryptic tweet reply
- It's Pulp, they've got to be there, right?

Evidence to the contrary:
- Where would they play? Either a secret set (which seems unlikely due to overcrowding) or billed much lower than they should be on the Pyramid

I’m keeping the faith that they will be there, on the Pyramid somewhere high up on the bill either Friday or Sunday.  They’re touring and they’re available. The only strong argument for them not being there is if they’re continuing their tour into 2024 and fancied doing the festival in 2024 instead. But I’m confident they will be there and announced on the next line up poster 🤞🏻

Or a secret set on one of the two main stages. No idea if it’s something they’re planning on rolling out, but having a mysterious gap midway down the Pyramid or Other would be a good way to still have secret sets whilst combating the overcrowding issue of the smaller stages.

Could they possibly do the Other Stage Opener slot? Seems like in recent years those were smaller bands than Pulp, but still seems to be a viable slot that has not been filled yet.

[Another eforum account]

They will be somewhere I’m sure - I think I manage to bump into Jarvis every year! 

[1986]

They're headlining a couple of festivals that haven't sold out and might not at all. Could easily see them on the final line up announcement without any fanfare to not steal their thunder.

Should pulp play I could see them subbing Friday as it shoild break up the Fred again crowd a bit (maybe)

This would be a great kick off but I imagine the crowds would be too much

Think we’ve had good info that Royal Blood are subbing AM.

I think it’s only the Warrington one that hasn’t sold out isn’t it? I think that the rest are all gone?

Yep and we got the Glastonbury lineup with times last year on the train on the way home from that festival (well, from the hotel at least) on the Monday. So that gig will be out the way when the full lineup is out

[Memory Man]

A late announcement does fit with their other commitments

3rd on pyramid wouldnt be an insult

secret set could be like the john peel ones that killers and george ezra did, both of whom are bigger than pulp and seemed to go off without a hitch

[Franco Baresi]

What sort of world are we living in where Royal Blood get a higher slot than Pulp? The Eavii won't let this happen, they know the score.

[Justiceforcedave]

I reckon they could do a badly kept secret Pyramid 'Special Guests' style third down slot.

I think they'll do a TBC pyramid slot a la The Libertines (2015??)

A world where Pulps legacy is strong and established enough that it doesn't matter where exactly they're billed.

I'll go with that then. 😉

I'm desperate for them to play again. 2011 up the Park was one of my favourite gigs of all time.

[goonerben]

At the time they announced their summer dates, the talk was that there were 2 being held back - Eden Project and Glastonbury.   It does feel inevitable that they'll be there at some point - but as has been said above, I don't think we will get anything until the other festivals that are still trying to sell tickets, have either happened or sold out.

What also helps is that there are a lot of possibilities - Pyramid sub for AM, Pyramid or Other opener, Park or JP secret slot - or some random "special guest" appearance on Pyramid or Other, at pretty much any point during the day.

I still have the f@ckin’ Fear about the Sunday night Other headline slot. 😬

[angelin]

I know. Thats what Im dreading. I think Id have to go to Elton and try and get a ticket for Finsbury Park.

Would be the perfect opener! Is there anyone else rumoured for this slot ? What a way to start the party.!

The line up this year is far from stellar, if Pulp were booked they would have been announced already surely

Why?

Lineup is subjective and the resale being tougher than ever suggests plenty found it good enough.
