Pulp fans were so blown away by the Britpop stars surprise performance at Glastonbury on Saturday night that they told organisers to scrap the rest of the festival as nothing else would beat it.
Jarvis Cocker's 1990s superstars emerged onto the main stage as the festival's surprise 'Patchwork' act on Saturday evening to huge cheers from the awaiting crowd.
The band kicked off with their anthems sorted for E's and Wizz and Disco 2000, much to the joy of fans in the late evening sunshine.
"You could say those songs were born at Glastonbury," Cocker told the crowd, telling anecdotes from the band's first appearance at the Somerset festival in 1995.

While another fan on X had this to say: "People think Britpop was all Oasis and Blur. For me, it was more Pulp and Suede."
Welsh broadcaster Jason Mohammad also shared his thoughts on the performance on the social media platform.
"Unbelievable scenes," he said. "Pulp. Glastonbury. What a performance. Seen some gigs in my time - but that was incredible!"

Another fan said: "You can stick your Oasis reunion where the sun doesn't shine, the resurgence of Pulp is what the summer of 2025 is all about".
One fan remarked: "Glastonbury 2025 is proving older artists aren't making a comeback they just never went away, proving that real talent is ageless and age is just a number".
