Pulp
Pulp Live Performance of Common People at Glastonbury
In June 1995, Pulp was riding a wave of success that stemmed from their critically acclaimed album "Different Class," released just months earlier in October 1995. This collection not only catapulted them into the mainstream, but also showcased their distinct style, blending sharp social commentary with catchy melodies. During their live performance of 'Common People' at the iconic Glastonbury Festival, Pulp's frontman, Jarvis Cocker, captivated audiences with his charismatic stage presence. The song, which poignantly critiques class and societal divides, resonated deeply with the crowd and quickly became an anthem of the era. Interestingly, this performance marked a pivotal moment in Pulp's career, solidifying their place in Britpop history and further propelling them into the limelight ahead of their subsequent album, 'This Is Hardcore,' released in 1998.
