Pulp's Legendary Performance of Common People at Glastonbury 1995

Venue: Worthy Farm Location: Pilton, England, United Kingdom Date: June 24, 1995

By the time Pulp took the Glastonbury stage on June 24, 1995, they were riding high on the wave of their fifth studio album, 'Different Class,' which had just been released a few weeks earlier in April. This album marked a pivotal moment for Pulp as it catapulted them into mainstream success, featuring the iconic single 'Common People.' Their performance at Glastonbury became legendary, symbolizing the band's ascent from cult favorites to British pop icons. Interestingly, this show was crucial not just for Pulp, but for the festival itself, as they stepped in to replace The Stone Roses, showcasing their ability to draw a massive crowd and energize audiences. Their raw, electrifying energy that night helped solidify their cultural relevance during the Britpop movement of the '90s.
