The Sheffield band began with a rendition of their hit song Sorted For E's And Wizz while the words 'Pulp Summer' appeared on the screen behind them.

Jarvis Cocker enjoyed a number one album with Pulp this year (Yui Mok/PA) Groups of people wearing waterproof parkas took to the stage before the performance began, and footage from their 1995 headline show was broadcast on the screen behind. Following their opening track, the Jarvis Cocker-fronted band launched into one of their best known songs, Disco 2000, from 1995's Different Class, one of the most acclaimed albums of the 1990s, prompting a mass singalong from the Glastonbury crowd. Following the song, Cocker said: 'My name's Jarvis, we're Pulp, sorry for people who were expecting Patchwork, did you know that we were going to play?' Advertisement After cheers from the crowd, he added: 'Psychic? Good. 'Listen, those two songs we just played, Sorted For E's & Wizz and Disco 2000, were first played on this stage 30 years and four days ago. Pulp thrilled the crowd just over 30 years since they headlined the event (Yui Mok/PA) 'It was the very, very first time they were played – you could say they were born in Glastonbury. 'Why were we here at Glastonbury that time? We'll get into that, but if you listen to this song, which isn't so old, and actually was released four weeks ago or something, it gives you a clue in the title, and I want you all, every one of you, right back to those tents at the back, to come alive.' Advertisement The band then played Spike Island, which was the first single from their first album in 24 years, More, released earlier this year, which the band said was intended as a follow-up to Sorted For E's & Wizz. Pulp also treated fans to Acrylic Afternoons from 1994's His And Hers, backed with violin, with Cocker holding some cups up as he sang about cups of tea, and appearing to throw food into the crowd. Pulp are one of Britpop's most enduringly popular bands (Yui Mok/PA) Cocker, who was wearing a brown suit and green shirt, then picked up an acoustic guitar for a performance of Something Changed from Different Class, which brought a sway from the crowd. The band finished with a double whammy of two of their best know songs, Babies and Common People, having played their breakthrough single Do You Remember The First Time? earlier in the set. Advertisement Pulp's appearance comes after keyboard player Candida Doyle had appeared to confirm the band would not perform at the festival. Asked whether she would be performing on BBC 6 Music, Doyle said: 'We wanted to, just because it's the 30th anniversary and that kind of thing, and they weren't interested. 'And then we were thinking maybe next year, and then they're not doing it next year.' Pulp were originally formed in Sheffield (Yui Mok/PA) Formed in 1978, Pulp struggled to find success with the dark content of early albums It (1983), Freaks (1987) and Separations (1992), before finding their audience during the 1990s Britpop era with their first UK top 40 single, Do You Remember The First Time? and the subsequent His 'N' Hers album, in 1994. Advertisement In 1995, they gained nationwide fame with the release of the single Common People and their Glastonbury performance. Pulp are currently made up of singer Cocker, keyboard player Doyle, drummer Nick Banks and guitarist Mark Webber, and have achieved five UK top 10 singles and two UK number one albums.

Pulp's 'Patchwork' set at Glastonbury interrupted by surprise appearance
Glastonbury Festival fans' predictions proved to be correct as Pulp took to the stage - and at some point during their performance of Common People, the Red Arrows flew past Pulp's surprise set at Glastonbury Festival this evening featured a surprise appearance - the Red Arrows. The Sheffield group, revealed as the mystery band Patchwork, took to the Pyramid Stage and began with a rendition of their hit song Sorted For E's And Wizz while the words Pulp Summer appeared on the screen behind them. Following their opening track, the Jarvis Cocker-fronted band launched into one of their best known songs, Disco 2000, from 1995's Different Class, one of the most acclaimed albums of the 1990s, prompting a mass singalong from the Glastonbury crowd. The band also played Spike Island and Acrylic Afternoons. The band finished with a double whammy of two of their best know songs, Babies and Common People, having played their breakthrough single Do You Remember The First Time? earlier in the set. And during their performance of Common People, fans were amazed to see the Red Arrows fly over Glastonbury. One wrote on X: "Pulp, the Pyramid & the Red Arrows, the best place on earth." Another tweeted: "Common People by Pulp is the greatest song from the 90s. That is a hill I will die on! Incredible crowd at the pyramid stage, thousands of flags and singing their hearts out. And the Red Arrows flew over, what timing." A third said: "The Red Arrows doing a flypast during the Pulp set at Glasto is too bizarre." Someone else wrote: "The Red Arrows flying over Glasto while Pulp play Common People might be the most British thing that has ever happened." "The Red Arrows flying over Glastonbury during Pulp singing Common People. Peak British," said someone else. One more added: "Red Arrows could not have planned that better coming over the Pyramid right at the climax of Common Man by Pulp." A festival-goer tweeted: "pulp featuring the red arrows. best set of the weekend so far." Their performance comes 30 years after their headline performance at the festival when they stood in for The Stone Roses after the Manchester band's guitarist John Squire was injured in a cycling accident. Groups of people wearing waterproof parkas took to the stage before the performance began, and footage from their 1995 headline show was broadcast on the screen behind. The festival worked hard to keep the identity of the mysterious Patchwork act a secret, but hours before the anonymous band was set to perform, a telling clue was spotted. Among the names circulating on social media were Chappell Roan, Harry Styles or even Robbie Williams. However, a festival-goer has exclusively revealed to The Mirror they have spotted a telling clue on a sound engineer box right by the Pyramid stage today. A source has shared an exclusive photograph of the boxes – one of which is labelled with the band name Pulp. The source told us: "I spotted the sound engineer box with Pulp's name on as they were setting up during the Kaiser Chiefs set." Earlier this month, expert social media account SecretGlasto, which has built up a reputation for confirming secret Worthy Farm acts for the past ten years, revealed the mysterious act was Pulp. In April, fans called for a "Pulp Day" after the legendary band announced they would release a new album. Frontman Jarvis Cocker confirmed the group would release their eighth studio album later this year. The album comes over a decade after the band's most recent release, 2013's After You' X users shared photographs of albums, announcements and interview snippets from the band over the years while radio stations predominantly played Pulp songs. BBC Radio 6's Lauren Laverne played a series of Pulp hits, including Do You Remember the First Time? and Common People, which left social media users calling Pulp Day "glorious". Another user shared a drawing of the band and wished everyone a "happy Pulp Day". One user wrote: "Lauren Laverne listeners currently knocking it out of the park with their Pulp selections." Another added: "Almost a Pulp takeover. Glorious."
