Jarvis Cocker and co took over the Pyramid Stage at 6:15pm on Saturday (June 28) at Worthy Farm, a slot that was reserved for the mysterious Patchwork on the bill to deliver a career-spanning set.
It came after numerous attempts from the frontman to shoot down rumours that Pulp would be making a surprise appearance.
As the performance drew to a close, a rendition of their seminal 1995 hit ‘Common People’ coincided with a flyover from the RAF aerobatics team.
The jets flew past Worthy Farm, with their signature smoke trails visible over the crowds and tents. See footage of the moment below, and find a full recap of Pulp’s set, here.
Since the mysterious set from Patchwork was announced, fans and bookies were convinced that the set would most likely be a surprise set from Britpop legends, Pulp – although both frontman Jarvis Cocker and keyboardist Candida Doyle were quick to dismiss the rumours.
Pulp’s set grew more concrete on Friday (June 27), when Cocker revealed that he was at Worthy Farm for a DJ set. Meanwhile, Haim have been revealed as Saturday’s other secret set, billed as TBA for the Park Stage.
Friday at Glastonbury saw The 1975 headline the Pyramid Stage, earning a four-star review from NME, which read: “With their one show of the year, “The 1975 from the Internet” clear the decks on their career so far to deliver a reminder of their chops for tunes and showmanship away from the headlines.”
Last night, Neil Young delivered his headline performance, which NME said was “a headline set that proves that sometimes, there’s still power to be found in an old-school approach,” in a four-star review.
Tonight’s final day of the festival will see sets from Olivia Rodrigo, The Prodigy, Turnstile, Rod Stewart and many more. Check out the full line-up and schedule here.
