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).
I dont see Pulp headlining Glastonbury unless Oasis have a big scrap the week before and a replacement is needed.
I think Pulp will headline the Other Stage next year and Oasis will be on the pyramid, hopefully not on the same day! I could be proved wrong at 8am tomorrow but I do feel Oasis might use Glasto as their first comeback gig of their tour. And with Pulp, I just can't see them not completing this tour cycle without a Glastonbury appearance, given how much Jarvis loves the festival and the connections he has. Emily Eavis gave an interview last month stating that 1995 was her favourite year of Glastonbury because Pulp and Oasis headlined... I really wouldn't be surprised if she already had them both booked when she gave that interview!
What would you think if Pulp supported Oasis at some of their stadium gigs?
Unlikely as Pulp could fill a stadium on their own. I think 45,000 were at Finsbury Park. It wouldn't bother me as I wont be going to see Oasis, but a treat for those that do go.
Seconding everyone else - not for Pulp to prop up Oasis! Pulp can do their own stadium gig!
On this subject it's immensely funny to me that Catfish and the Bottlemen who are already, let's face it, certainly not big enough (or good enough) for the London stadium gig they've got arranged are now going to have Oasis playing Wembley Stadium on the very same day. Oops!

Should be plenty of cheap tickets for Catfish & The Bottlemen Not sure I want to go back to Mordor again. I did it back in May, but it was very scary
I did see Catfish & The Bottlemen live at Electric Ballroom about a decade ago, and they were very good live. I must have been at least twice the age of everyone else there, I felt so old. And that was 10 years ago

Pulp fans don't want stadiums. Pulp fans want indoor sets with deep cuts and decent beer provision.
There were hour long queues for beer at Finsbury Park. And unless Razzmatazz counts as a deep cut that ticked none of the boxes, however it was the best gig I saw in 2023. Hammersmith Odeon did tick the indoor and deep cut boxes, but beer was a no-no from where I was squeezed in in the stalls. It was good, but I didnt enjoy it as much as Finsbury Park.
Hopefully Pulp,turn up in a field somewhere in the UK next summer.
Yeah, couldn't believe it when I saw that recently. You can become a stadium band now without any hits (unless I've missed Catfish blowing-up lately)?
I dont think newer bands have hits as such. I am off to see Last Dinner Party and Fontaines DC before end of year and neither have a hit, but both have sold out Hammersmith Odeon and Alexandra Palace respectively with Fontaines DC playing Finsbury Park next summer. However, I dont think Catfish & The Bottlemen are big enough to sell out the O2, though I could be wrong.
