Pulp any night, any stage would win the weekend for me. Can’t imagine a clash that would take me away from that. Be great to see them on Pyramid though 

 

I've been convinced for the last 2+ years that Pulp would be doing Glastonbury in 2025 as it's the 30th anniversary of their legendary 1995 set... but the total lack of credible info over the last few months has been making me less sure!  However... we now know they are doing a few UK dates next year, one of which is Tramlines Festival, so I'm feeling more positive again!

I think they deserve a headline Pyramid slot... but I'd rather see them headline the Other Stage than do any daytime Pyramid slot.  And they are too big for Park or Woodsies I think.

Underworld headlining woodsies or the park on the Friday too. That's 100 percent where I'll be.

 

How sure are you of that?

I'm with you on this 👍

Listen, if the Verve can headline Glasto, so can Pulp...

Theyre really gonna go Underworld, Basement Jaxx and Prodigy on diff days on diff stages arent they. I mean if Im seeing one Pyramid headliner it was prob O Rod so Saturday is looking not too frustrating with the alternatives

Sea Power nearly always decorate their stage with branches. There used to be stuffed or fake birds too I think. I think they're into all the birdwatching stuff (genuinely).

And don't forget about the bears!

Neil Young in 2009 was unreal - praying he is a headliner this year. Miles better than Springsteen the following day.

 

*Blur blew both of them out the water though.

agreed 100%

Strong rumour

Pulp subbing Neil Young is the dream, well my dream anyway

I wouldn't wake you up and I'd have my eyes closed trying to manifest the same!

[CurlyPutz]

I have strong hopes for underworld, they were epic at ally pally earlier this year. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Springsteen really would need to curate smarter if he ever did it again - and Sea.Hear.Now showed he can.

 

Boat gone on that. He'll be 77 by the time 2027 runs around and despite claims otherwise, I just can't see the E Street Band still being on the road then, at least not without going the Billy Joel route of two or three shows per month max. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Springsteen being in the vicinity every summer for 3 years and it not happening suggests no-one is sufficiently motivated to make it happen.

Sea.Hear.Now was nothing short of pure magic, i am so thankful that i got to experience that.

 

it was my first time going to that festival (only went for Bruce) but it is a fantastic event and seeing as i didn't get Glastonbury tickets i think i'll probably head back there instead.

 

i'm very lucky in that i have seen Bruce in Asbury Park a few times - but the Sea Hear Now show was just a level beyond my ability to express it.

 

i found Bruce in 2009 to be something of a disappointment and i hoped he'd not play Glastonbury again - however i would, of course, absolutely love to see him there again, and seeing as i wont be there he's bound to be there next year!

I had great fun drunkenly dancing with the 8 foot polar bear in Cardiff a few years back. Happy Days

Another one who was distinctly underwhelmed by the Boss after seeing Shakey the night before. Didn't watch the seminal Blur gig, f**k knows what i was up to, probably Prodigy and a load of drugs hence why i don't recall. 

 

Plus you can't do all three nights at the Pyramid... sacrilege 

[NorthernSoul52]

An interesting one, given his McCartney cameo certainly seemed to carry some goodwill.

Prodigy 2009 was simply f**king awesome.

Yep agree with this, really enjoyed Neil Young, but found Bruce Springsteen hard going - I just didn’t know enough of his stuff and remember being stood in the field feeling cold and bored, should have moved on but thought it might get more exciting.

Blur was the best of the three (sorry) 

[Avalon_Fields]

I saw all 3 headliners that year, possibly the last time I’ve done that. I was 2nd row for Springsteen so it was still a great experience for me but acknowledge the disappointing show. He played a Joe Strummer song at the start which seemed a mistake (a relatively obscure number too).

Seeing Pulp subbing on the pyramid would make my festival.. watching their set on TV in 95 was the reason I started going to Glastonbury .. I want to see the pyramid field singing along to common people. They’re so much fun live, i’m going to see them at tramlines anyway but a pyramid slot would be amazing.

Absolutely! - They did a 'secret' set on The Park in the 2011 mud bath and were fantastic. Worst case, I'll be there at Tramlines too but surely it's time they returned to Glastonbury
