Glastonbury fans fume as two major performances ruined as BBC iPlayer crashes
Viewers were left raging after the BBC's coverage of Glastonbury Festival crashed leaving fans watching a blank screen during the live performance of Scissor Sisters For those who were unable to attend Glastonbury festival this year, live coverage of the globally renowned music festival is perhaps the nest best thing. However, fans were left incredibly unimpressed with the BBC's coverage as it crashed on Saturday night during the middle of the broadcast. Instead of watching their favourite acts live on stage, viewers were left with a blank screen. It was the second night of the iconic music festival and fans were eagerly awaiting the performance of Scissor Sisters and Charli XCX, among many others. But both the BBC's TV feed and iPlayer fell victim to a technical error. Explaining the failure of coverage a message popped up on viewers' TV screens which said: " Sorry for the interruption. We're working to fix this." Unwilling to accept the apology by the broadcaster, many rushed to social media to express their fury. One person wrote: "Terrible coverage on bbc - Scissor Sisters live set off air & general lack of live streams. The iPlayer Glastonbury Channel is also broken on Apple TV. It's a mess." Another fumed: "bbc iplayer crashing as soon as scissor sisters are meant to be on stage is abysmal work." A third added: "Waited all day for scissor sisters to be on and now iplayer showing a black screen ffs #Glastonbury2025." Meanwhile a fourth raged: "First they don't let us see the Kaiser Chiefs now the iPlayer seemingly crashes when Scissor Sisters are meant to be on. S***e. #BBC #Glastonbury2025." A fifth penned: "bbc @iplayer no scissor sisters, 35 mins in still getting this.. very disappointing." And a sixth was quick to chime in: "C'mon iPlayer, f*****g sort yourself out. Waiting for Scissor Sisters here." "#Glastonbury2025 #Scissorsister what a joke! been waiting to watch the only band worth looking at today and I'm getting this s**t show," wrote a seventh viewer. This comes after Charli XCX wowed fans with her sexy performance on the Other Stage as she headlined on Saturday night. Showing off her enviable physique, the singer donned a pair of thigh socks with knee high boots, a pair of black shorts and a skull crop top, showing off her toned midriff. Earlier that day, Pulp appeared to poke fun at the singer and her fan base by asking fans if they were ready for a "Pulp Summer." This was a direct message to her fans who declared a "Brat summer" last year, following the success of Charli XCX's hit album. The "Pulp Summer" jibe had shown up on a big screen in front of the crowd during their surprise performance. Lead singer, Jarvis Cocker joked: "We're Pulp. Sorry for the people that were expecting Patchwork." He continued: "Did you know we were going to play? How? Psychic? Good." He then went on to quip that it had been "30 years and four days" since they first performed at Glastonbury back in 1995. The band split in 2002 but reunited again only to call time on the band a few years later in 2013. But three years ago, Pulp reformed once again.

Pulp revealed as mystery band Patchwork as they appear for Glastonbury set
Pulp revealed as mystery band Patchwork as they appear for Glastonbury set 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. (Image: Redferns ) Britpop group Pulp have been revealed as mystery band Patchwork as they took to Glastonbury Festival's Pyramid Stage for a surprise performance. 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. 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. 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?" Article continues below 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. "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." 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. 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. The Red Arrows flew overhead during Common People, which received rapturous applause from the crowd. 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." Article continues below 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. 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 throws shade at Charli XCX as band makes surprise headline at Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage after 30 years
Pulp threw shade at Charli XCX during their surprise performance at Glastonbury tonight. The Britpop icons were concealed as mystery band Patchwork - later revealing themselves on the famous Pyramid Stage after 30 years. The band took a swipe at Charli XCX - who has headlining the Other Stage on Saturday night - by declaring 2025 a 'Pulp Summer'. Before their performance, a screen flashed with 'Are you ready for.... Pulp Summer.' It seems the band had a direct message for Charli's fanbase - who declared a 'Brat Summer' last year, thanks to her smash-hit album. After the words flashed on screen, band leader Jarvis Cocker jokingly quipped: 'We're Pulp. Sorry for the people that were expecting Patchwork.' He added: 'Did you know we were going to play? How? Psychic? Good.' Throughout the set, Pulp joked that it had been '30 Years and Four Days' since they first took to the stage at Glastonbury 1995. The band originally split in 2002, with Jarvis saying shortly after that "noone was arsed" about their music anymore. They split again in 2013, before reforming in 2022. Meanwhile, Charli XCX put on a show for her dedicated fans as she brought Brat Summer back once more. She said: 'It's summertime and I was thinking about last summer – did anyone have a Brat Summer?' The singer, wearing an all-black ensemble including sunglasses and knee-high boots, began her set with 360 and Von Dutch. Alongside the songs from her new album, she performed tracks including Unlock It (Lock It), Party 4 U, Vroom Vroom, and Speed Drive – which appeared on the Barbie movie soundtrack. Charli later performed her song Apple, and the person doing the famous viral dance was Gracie Abrams, daughter of Star Wars director JJ Abrams. Charli reached a major career milestone with the release of her sixth album last year. It became her highest-charting record, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and even earning her a Grammy Award. However, in a new interview, Charli revealed that commercial success isn't her main focus going forward. She explained that maintaining creative freedom is far more important to her than chasing chart positions. Speaking to Culted at the Cannes International Film Festival, she said: 'I don't really feel the pressure to create another record like 'Brat' because when I was making it, even though I really believed in it and totally knew what I wanted to do with it, I had no idea how it would be received. 'I was really doing it for myself and marketing it in the way I wanted to for myself but I had no clue that people would kind of connect to it in the way that they did,' she said. Charli also hinted that her next album will take a completely different direction. 'You can never really do the same thing twice and my next record will probably be a flop which I'm down for to be honest,' she added. Thousands of revellers descended on Worthy Farm as Glastonbury Festival 2025 kicked off on Wednesday - with this year's event already shaping up to be one of the most iconic yet. Headlining the Pyramid Stage on Friday night were The 1975, making their debut in the coveted top slot. However, Saturday saw Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts take to the Pyramid Stage but with sparse crowds, following sets from the likes of RAYE, Patchwork - who were revealed to be Pulp, John Fogerty, The Script, Brandi Carlile and Kaiser Chiefs. Pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo will close out the festival in style on Sunday night, while Rod Stewart is set to make his long-awaited Glastonbury debut in the beloved Sunday Legends slot. Other major acts lighting up the weekend include Wolf Alice and The Prodigy, who are set to headline the Other Stage on Sunday. Festivalgoers have been soaking up the sunshine, with dazzling outfits, mud-splattered boots, and round-the-clock music creating the signature Glasto magic. With surprises, special guests, and unforgettable moments still to come, Glastonbury 2025 is already cementing its place in the festival's legendary history. Glastonbury Festival 2025 runs from Wednesday, June 25 to Sunday, June 29, with five days of music, mayhem and star-studded performances across Worthy Farm.
