Haven't you asked yer ma to ask his dad if he's playing, just to settle all this speculation 😅

He wouldn’t know… he’s been dead since 2016, and Jarvis famously didn’t speak to his dad since he was a kid, despite him trying to jump on the gravytrain when Jarvis got famous.

Did I mention my mum knows Jarvis Cocker's dad? Worst tenuous link to a famous person evah. 

Your mum is either a bullshit merchant, or the fella she knows is

I'm very much expecting Pulp to be on that final Glastonbury poster, but not sure where. 

An Other Stage headline would be my logical choice.  Just hope it's not Sunday as Elton's last ever gig is something that a lot of people will want to witness in person. 

But .... they have to split the crowd somehow 👀

Logic tells us that the three Other Stage headliners are Wizkid, Lana Del Ray, and Queens of the Stone Age sadly.

She also knows one of Elton's bass/guitar players. And yes I'll tweet them before they go live and ask for a backstage pass.

hashtag famousdesperate. 😆

I once stood next to Jarv on Sheffield Train Station platform early 00s. We haven’t stayed in touch otherwise i’d’ve asked him.

Pulp other headliners on Sunday? QOTSA moved to a 'surprise' slot similar to Jack White this year..?

Very unlikely

Where did the Royal Blood subbing info come from? No chance they’re third down with Pulp subbing? Seems quite a high slot for Royal Blood as not sure their stock has risen since 2017…

If Pulp are playing, do you think they will be announced on the final poster, or will they be "special guests" in the timetable?

[johnny-yen]

Could they possibly open the Other Stage on Friday like Libertines and James etc have in the past?

One day 😉

 

I was trying to think of a witty way to drop in this line, but I can't so I'll just quote it

"So ahead of my time, I wasn't born in the past"

Fucking love that line!

I'm starting to doubt it. Royal Blood feel much smaller compared to Lizzo and Lil Nas X. Plus I feel like we would have heard a bit more if they were subbing...

Pulp can surely only be a TBA now

Seems strange that Lizzo and Nas X get a top tier poster placement and Royal Blood are mixing it up with the rest of the acts as well…

If Pulp sub AM then that's a clash with Fred Again...

Would split the crowds nicely. Id like to believe it but am not getting my hopes up!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Crowd splitting as a decision making factor in stage booking gets really overemphasised on here.

After last year and the post festival advice from the council, I think it’s a thing this year.

They're not super similar acts though... So not sure they woukd actively avoid clashing them?

I agree that who knows given last years drama - but the counter programming against Elton doesn't suggest any great departure from the norm.

Do headliners ever get a say in who supports them? AM are big on Royal Blood from memory, pretty sure Helders had their merch on there last time 

Selfishly - Pulp, Fred, AM would be quite delightful
