This isn't a secret set in the Park or Woodsies which a fraction of the festival get to see. It's literally the same stage. You don't play this slot and then come back next year and headline. It'll literally be the same band on the same stage playing the same songs but a few hours later. Now if it's some sort of Taylor tribute with guests or some sort of supergroup mash-up then maybe you get away with it. But that's the big difference with Pulp and Foos for me - Foos will want to come back and headline in the next three years. And the festival will want to book them. Pulp will be gone for good this time next year, at least in this incarnation. Is there any reason Foos wouldn't be announced if it were them? I know Pulp have some big London dates on sale on Friday. (The hour changeover makes me wonder if it's something with a more elaborate set-up also, ie. act with orchestra) I assume whoever just isn't being announced for the novelty value. But you're right, it is the weird thing for a seventy-five minute set before a return shortly after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would genuinely be a Glastonbury moment for sure. At Reading 2010 they came on an hour late, the promoters cut their sound off and then they staged a "protest" onstage.

johnny-yen Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Trying to bring the thread back on topic, what happened to the poll between FF and Pulp? The last time I looked it was clearly a win for Pulp. The vote was split, I think, about 70/30 in favour of Pulp. The results were heavily in favour of Pulp being the mostly likely outcome and Pulp being the most desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly confirmation that blur are playing but no obvious other conflict. That is an interesting little nugget of information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Blur aren't the Churnups could mean that they are the set at woodsies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if few people think it's a good booking even fewer want any more discourse on Guns n Roses in threads not about Guns n Roses. I just popped in to see if it was Pulp or Foos and now it's Blur. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
