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 👀

As someone , long term poster, that never got a ticket this year , i am pleased to note that I will be attending Latitude this year where Pulp are headlining. And this will be the first time over all the years attending Glasto that i would have seen them live 😁

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 

Not usually. Apparently The Stones did and McCartney did in 2004, but in general it's the festival's business.

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…

It’s not strange in a 2023 woke society,  if you get my drift.

Not sure I do....what's your drift?

If I'd booked Royal Blood for a prominent slot in 2023 I'd also want to bury it to every possible extent

Complete bullshit but I've seen rumblings about Liam Gallagher being the support on Friday at Bridlington. People saying the Brid Spa booking agent has let it slip.

in the pulp facebook group so I don't believe it at all. It was first mentioned last week and then has been brought up again. Personally I think there won't be a support and it'll just be a slightly longer set so they can test more material before the festivals. Just saw that Baxter Dury has been announced as support for the London and Cardiff gigs so the only one without a support now is Brid

aah interesting – thanks! just assumed there wouldn't be a support, as is often the case for these sort of warm-up shows. we'll see!

The Liam rumour is such a weird one. No chance in my opinion. Noel has more of a friendship with Jarvis/pulp than Liam does for starters plus their audience (Liam/oasis fans) are not the same as Pulp fans. Whole different calibre of fans here. It just wouldn’t work.

yeah I thought this, not sure why so many people are saying it in that group, wishful thinking.

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

Would also be an almighty buzzkill following Pulp's bangers with Mardy Bum's downbeat dirges.

I feel I got my hopes too high up that Pulp will play and will be immensely disappointed if they are not announced next week

really can't see that happening at all, from knebworth to supporting at Brid for a relatively small gig? 
Irony is brid was the very last time I saw oasis play and i'm there on friday for pulp too so "maybe" 

[sunnyshoes]

I find it a bit strange that Royal Blood would be sub. I'm not saying that I'm a huge muso but I try to keep up with new stuff and only know that one song so I'm gonna stick my cards on Pulp subbing for AM on Friday for a Sheffield evening.

Someone needs to book Blur, Pulp, Suede and [Insert active Britpop bands] onto the same lineup next year. Make it happen festival gods!

Thirty years after. 1994 had Blur, Pulp, Oasis and Radiohead on the same stage on the same day. And none of them even headlined that stage, imagine that.

Plus one here for the Sheffield fantasy over here! 

Although.... Playing devil's advocate, but how are Pulp more relevant to sub than Royal Blood? 

Not that I care - I'd be there regardless!

Support at 8pm (Jen I think).

Pulp at 9. 2 hour set.

[RichardWaller]

I’ll be shocked if they’re not there one way or another, slot wise is another thing. Sub Pyramid, headline Other, not sure which of those slots are still available. Would they do another secret set?
