The Britpop icons, fronted by Jarvis Cocker, had ramped up speculation for their set by not appearing on the line-up.
Before the likes of Raye and Neil Young took to the stage, a mystery act was due to perform in a slot, which was mysteriously billed as 'Patchwork'.
It had long been speculated the secret act was actually Pulp, and a piece of their equipment appeared backstage seemed to confirm their presence on Worthy Farm.
As they performed in front of a huge crowd, it seems that a fellow headline act was hidden in the audience.
As Olivia Rodrigo made her way to Worthy Farm ahead of her own performance, she was seen to fully immerse herself in the Glastonbury spirit.
She was spotted sitting on her boyfriend Louis Partridge's shoulders singing her heart out as Pulp performed their hit track, Common People.
The Good For You singer was spotted in a low-key monochrome vest and large shades as she waved her arms about.
She paired the look with leopard print shorts, white over-the-knee socks and hunter wellies.
The smash-hit singer was spotted by BBC Radio 1 Breakfast host Greg James, who was seen singing along to the act.
He took to his Instagram story as he partied with his pal, fellow Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens.

Greg posted the behind-the-scenes video selfie to his followers on social media along with the caption: "Watching Pulp with Olivia Rodrigo."
In the clip, he jokingly asked his fans: "Who's that?" as other members of the audience appeared to be blissfully unaware about her presence.
Olivia last performed at Worthy Farm on The Other Stage back in 2022.
As she prepared to take to the Pyramid Stage, she would have seen the band make a cheeky swipe at fellow Glastonbury performer, Charli XCX.

At 6.15pm, the Pyramid stage filled with nearly 100 people dressed in black and white ponchos as the band was finally revealed.
Before Charli, 32, headlined the Other Stage, a screen behind the band flashed the words "Are you ready for.... Pulp Summer."
The message was a direct reference to the 'Brat Summer' trend that the pop singer celebrated last year thanks to her smash-hit album.
When the message appeared, the on-stage crowd parted, revealing the band led by Cocker.
After the tracks, Cocker joked: "We're Pulp. Sorry for the people that were expecting Patchwork.
"Did you know we were going to play?" he asked, and when the crowd loudly declared "yes" he responded, "How? Psychic? Good."
This comes after Olivia celebrated a sell-out gig at the BST festival in Hyde Park.
The Drivers Licence singer sent fans wild as she brought out Ed Sheeran for a highly-publicised cameo.
