Candida Doyle, the band's keyboard player, confirmed that Pulp will not be performing at Glastonbury, stating they were 'not interested' in having them.

Doyle expressed disappointment over the missed opportunity to perform at the festival, especially given the anniversary, and noted that they had considered performing next year, but the festival will not be held then.

The current lineup of Pulp includes Cocker, Doyle, drummer Nick Banks, and guitarist Mark Webber, with a history of five UK top 10 singles and two UK number one albums.

Pulp recently celebrated a significant milestone by achieving their first UK number one album in 27 years with their latest release, 'More', which debuted earlier this month.

This year also marks the 30th anniversary of Pulp's iconic performance at Glastonbury in 1995, where they famously stepped in for The Stone Roses after an injury to their guitarist.

Despite rumors suggesting that Pulp would make a surprise appearance at this year's festival, comments from band members indicate that this will not happen.

Lead singer Jarvis Cocker had previously indicated that the band would only perform at Glastonbury under extreme circumstances, referring to it as a 'life or death situation'.

Formed in 1978, Pulp rose to fame during the Britpop era of the 1990s, achieving notable success with hits like 'Common People' and the album 'Different Class'.
