Notes
"Hi. My name is Jarvis, hello. This is Pulp. Sorry for people who were expecting Patchwork. Did you know we were gonna play? How?! Psychic, good." -- Jarvis
The band's 'surprise' arrival on stage was disguised by a patchwork (geddit?) of people lined up in black and white waterproof parkas. The text "Are you ready for... PULP SUMMER" appeared on the video screen as Sorted For E's & Wizz began. Tea bags were once again thrown into the crowd during Acrylic Afternoons. Jarvis reminisced about his first visit to Glastonbury ("I couldn’t hack it") prior to Do You Remember the First Time? and dedicated Mis-Shapes to the audience.
Prior to Common People Jarvis tore up the piece of paper on which he wrote his closing speech from Glastonbury 1995: "I'm tearing it up because history and stuff like that doesn't matter, it's all about now, right? All about now and what we can do together now, alright?" The Red Arrows then unexpectedly flew over the Pyramid Stage during the song.
