Glastonbury buzz is at a fever pitch following a cryptic tweet from the well-known fan account @secretglasto, which sparked wild speculation about a possible secret set by Pulp on the Pyramid Stage. The puzzle deepened when a mysterious band named The Churnups was listed at 6:15 pm Friday—yet no such band exists. Festival-goers quickly connected the dots: “churning up” leads to “pulp,” hinting at a covert Pulp performance.
However, Pulp’s frontman Jarvis Cocker has publicly quashed the rumors, stating in a BBC Radio 2 interview that Pulp will not perform unless a “life or death” scenario unfolds, which he does not foresee.
The rumor mill also has fans debating tough schedule choices, especially clashes involving Gary Numan, TV On The Radio, and the elusive Pulp. Meanwhile, chatter suggests Haim might be better placed on the Park Stage if they join the lineup.
Secret sets remain a legendary Glastonbury tradition, with past surprise acts like The Killers (2017), Lady Gaga (2009), and The Foo Fighters (2023). @secretglasto’s track record, including confirmed hints in 2024 about Kasabian, keeps the Glastonbury faithful intrigued despite denials.
We’ll keep tracking all developments, lineup confirmations, and set times as the festival approaches. Stay tuned for updates on who’s really turning up the heat in the Somerset fields.
