Resigned to the fact Pulp will again not appear - Kind of suspecting the tour gap is as much to do with Jarvis attending the festival as anything else -  Though another DJ set with Alexis would be good - and he ocasionally does talks.

 

Time to start Pulp for 2027? 

It's not going to happen in 2027 if it hadn't this year. Everything is there and setup for it to be this year, they've been back touring enough for it to happen of it's going to. There was one person with information on it happening but I wouldn't call it the strongest source and another just secret set is a bit like, why would they.

Yeah considering they're headlining Radio 1 Big Weekend, a slot that sometimes includes that year's actual Glastonbury headliner, I'd be very surprised if they played Woodsies, The Park or even The Other. Has to be the Pyramid surely 

Is there anywhere on the Pyramid for them to play? All higher spots are seemingly taken unless acts are playing well below expected.

Has there ever been a secret set on Other (aside from Friday opener) or West Holts? I can only think of them happening on Park, Woodsies, once on Pyramid and of course all the time on smaller stages

I've this elsewhere, but if Pulp weren't offered Pyramid headline, and didn't want to sub, or headline Other, then the only way to make the set special is to be a Pyramid TBA and create little Glasto legend that way.

 

Much as I'd love that to happen this year, I don't think it will.  And I don't see them doing 2027 as it probably won't be part of any touring cycle.

 

I'm certain Pulp want to do Glasto again, so it's more a case of them choosing when.  Maybe they are saving it for a farewell show many years down the line, or maybe they want to do 2030 for the 60th Anniversary.  Who knows...!

If we sadly have Mumford and Haim as secret sets, is there room for any more or is that probably it?

How strong is the Haim source?

Not that I know of. We had Liam confirmed half way down the Pyramid a while back now and that was one of the too busy options probably. I think if The Killers could do Woodsies then Mumfords can but against a big option. Opposite Alanis would be a guess.

I wouldn't say Pulp are that eager to do it again. I don't believe that in the SZA case, a phone call wouldn't have been made as the choice taken instead and clashes caused by that was stupid. I don't think Pulp will ever consider Other headliner at Glastonbury.

Seems to be all but confirmed from what I've seen.

West Holts crew are too sensible for such behaviour*

I will certainly re-use that phrase at some point.

Given we expected them on the poster drop, maybe Basement Jaxx for a secret set?
