Pulp's secret Glastonbury set review still the magnificently misshapen oddballs of British pop
Briefly

Jarvis Cocker addressed the mystery surrounding Pulp's surprise Glastonbury appearance, playfully referencing a fictitious band name. Despite attempts to keep their presence under wraps, the excitement was palpable when Pulp took the stage. They opened with 'Sorted For E's & Wizz', emphasizing their unique perspective on hedonism. Their music defied the Britpop standard, blending 70s glam, French pop, and disco influences, ultimately celebrating outsiders. While evoking nostalgia with their 90s hits, Pulp's performance showed that they are not simply relics of their time, but still relevant with their dark and quirky style.
Listening to them play their 90s hits MisShapes, Disco 2000, Babies you're struck by how little they had in common with their ostensible Britpop contemporaries.
Pulp remain a band who seldom go about things the straightforward way, as proven by their choice to open with Sorted For E's & Wizz.
