He did a talk at Meltdown last night. He was asked about Pulp and Radiohead and said he wasn't allowed to say. In Glastonbury terms, this means "they're playing but we can't say". For Pulp he said he'd get into trouble with Emily, which means they're at the Park!
Apparently, Eavis let slip at the South Bank centre last Monday that Pulp are to be one of the special guests on the Park stage. I'm yet to find a source but it's looking more and more likely.
He was asked about them playing and said he wouldn't be drawn on it, because earlier he'd said Emily had warned him not to be saying too much. But he did say outright that Stevie Nicks wasn't playing. The general rule with Eavis seems to be if he doesn't deny someone's playing, then they probably are. Someone else on eFestivals claimed earlier that they were with one of Pulp's roadies drinking and they also said they were there.
I've learned over the years to take everything Eavis says with a pinch of salt! I managed to have a little chat with him at last year's festival and he's a lovely bloke though.
They showed that on tv last week and it was repeated on Mon, plus it's viewed as one of the most iconic performances so I'm not sure that makes too much difference. Either way, it looks like the rumours are growing stronger.

Maybe Bono will fall off his bike and Chris Martin will choke on his celery and Beyonce will get wedged in a doorway and they'll headline for three nights
Someone must know by now. Surely a lanky middle aged man with a beard and specs had been spotted wading around Glastonbury this morning. Well I suppose that wouldn't be conclusive.
