Strange if they dont, as I thought they would put paid to the rumours by simply saying sorry guys - not this year

Yeah, I took Nick's message as a sign there might be "another time" this year. Oh well - not like I'm there anyway but it'd have been good to see.

Jarvis has been there every year since forever! So odd if they dont. Wonder if hes there but doesnt want to play. True story: I got into Steves stag do, held in the Tipi Field in 09 after Jarviss solo set.

Actually that rings a bell re: Steve's stag do, must've read it on here before. Bet it was an amazing experience!

Wouldn't surprise me at all if they were there, Jarvis especially - sure he'll be dossing around somewhere. Perhaps on stand-by if any acts have to pull out. Genuinely expected they'd show up somehow this year though - if I'd actually gone, I'd be a bit gutted.

The other possibility is one of the other Glastonbury festivals such as Glastonbury Abbey or Pilton Party.

I do find it so odd though, for all the reasons above, that they appear to be notable by their absence.

I wonder did they not want to be filmed, so ruled themselves out.

I think they could have ensured that didnt happen though, as they werent filmed at The Park. Pilton Party is a good shout

Now. There is a tba at the Nowhere stage at 12 which supposedly has been extremely secret because it's a big name. Going to have a look just in case. It's generally a dance stage so Pulp prob unlikely but may as well have a look!

Up there now. It's a very small stage/area. I'll be very surprised but nothing to lose!

Very much not Pulp. No chance whatsoever I'd say. Sorry for getting any hopes up with my last minute stab in the dark!

Maybe....next year, 30 years since their first performance and some amazing new songs to showcase...

Nick's tweet of "Any road, Im sure theres always another time yeah??" is interesting, maybe they're planning to be on the road sporadically longer than we think?

 The last reunion was over 2 years.

This year was my ninth Glastonbury (first was 2007) and I'm still yet to see Pulp there.

It was really great this year. Elton was magical despite the fact I was extremely tired having arrived on the Monday. There were many highlights but one other stand out artist was Manneskin.

Pulp's omission was bizarre, I was so, so certain they'd be there but I'm sure there was good reason. I feel they were intending to play (Nick's earlier Tweets, tour gap, the fact Jarvis appears every year) but something we can't know about happened to prevent it from becoming reality.

I feel the most likely probability is that they were writing their world tour schedule and have decided that Glastonbury 2024 will be their swan song. Another possibility is that there simply wasn't a suitable space on the lineup; the festival has been criticised in recent years for overcrowding when artists have played stages that are too small. Meanwhile Pulp will really want to play in the dark for maximum impact for what could be their last Glasto gig (e.g. Sorted for Es and Whizz).

These factors mean that they are very much limited to which slots and stages they could appear in. It also explains the tweet "somewhere... In a field in Glastonbury"; were they trying to find a suitable place at that point?

I mean, it's amazing thinking about the songs they could play. Not really a mid-reunion tour event, they were very lowkey and surprise last time.

I would love it if they went all out - Pyramid Stage, played all the hits (all the singles from Babies onwards, plus Underwear/I Spy/FEELING) and some of their best and most ambitious songs outwith that bracket. The only way Pulp are ever headlining Pyramid Stage again, let's be real, is if it's their final gig. And that would be a triumphant occasion; you'd be sure of a great turnout, and they certainly have the discography besides Common People/Disco 2000, time to really weaponise the slightly less massive but still prominent songs in their arsenal. Pulp have never actually done a gig longer than 15 songs or so at Glastonbury, and they've never put all their strongest songs together in one go, either.

Glastonbury surprise set this year? I'm sure they'll do it once more before bowing-out, but was thinking next year on the Pyramid stage. Though this one looks like it's Kasabian. Another consolation for not managing to get tickets.

 

From: https://www.nme.com/news/music/bookies-odds-glastonbury-2024-secret-set-kasabian-kings-of-leon-pulp-3762814

Bookies odds for the Woodsies secret set are:

Kasabian - Betting Suspended
Pulp 6/4
Kings Of Leon 2/1
The Killers 3/1
Richard Hawley 3/1
Green Day 5/1
Weezer 5/1
Tame Impala 6/1
The Smile 6/1
Hot Chip 7/1
Vampire Weekend  8/1
Placebo 8/1
Interpol 8/1
Glass Animals 8/1
BAR 10/1

Yeah, I think Woodsies would be way too small for them, there'd be a hell of a crush. Did wonder if it'd be possible when I went last year but when I went up there (and narrowly avoided a Rickrolling) I just thought... nah.

Can't see any likely-looking gaps higher up the line-up, so I agree, probably next year. Although I'm invariably wrong.

Strong talk of Oasis reforming next year and headlining Glastonbury. If so, it would surely reduce the chances of Pulp doing the same? Although without a new/comeback "hit" maybe that was always unlikely and they would only be offered a different slot (Legends/headlining another stage).

Pulp being slow (that's a long reunion) at officially announce or just tease something new (album, if such thing is really the work / new songs that may or may not be part of their discography...) will certainly be overshadowed by an Oasis Reunion and them headlining at next year Glastonbury. Or maybe there's room for 2, I don't know. The Pulp fan I am is kind of frustrated / tired by the lack of official statement and by the secrecy around what's coming or not (I know mister Banks said there was no hope for more Pulp but with the 3 new songs and the studio Orbb rumors, eh, can the man be trusted?) Also I would understand them not to be part of the Britpop era comeback hype, that would make them the last band to return after, Suede, Blur, and now Oasis (definitely maybe or not). It would appear as something that has to be done, to surf the wave, and not something they really want to do. Wait and see, as always...
