ive been 5 times....   has it ever sold out ?

Normally does, this is the first year it hasn't sold out within a week. There's still tickets here and there but the majority normally sell out.

I'm wondering if Leeds festival not selling out, could be a reason for a northern date not being announced yet?

I'd say so, seems quite late for the Brixton date and wireless didn't sell out and they announced it after that

Just watched it on Utube and have to say it sounded a brilliant gig. I saw Jarvis in 2009 at the JP and he was great then, but this clashed with Elbow for me.

Yeah has been replied before, weekend tickets for the past few years have gone pretty sharpish.  Think even last year, them still being available for a few weeks afterwards was a surprise.

This year weekend tickets and day tickets for all days haven't sold out.  

I was desperate to get tickets the other year when Them Crooked Vultures did the secret gig, as it was known in advance they would be there, but they were well over £100 on Ebay etc for a day ticket.  


I like the line up for Sunday, but the Saturday is woeful for me (few alright lower down on second stage) so can't justify weekend tickets.  If Glastonbury I wouldn't care as would go around other areas etc on Saturday.

Pulp were my highlight this year. Jarvis was AMAZING! I thought i was back in the 90s.

It was definitely one of the best sets I have ever seen - it made me cry.  We were right at the front - slogged it out* through Graham Coxon, The Walkmen and Tame Impala for prime Pulp viewing spot, having been able to see sweet FA for Radiohead the day before.  I did try and get on here to verify that it was Pulp very early on (3pm-ish) - as soon as we got to the front for Graham my sister I could see some of their kick back stage right with PULP stickers all over it!  A bit of a giveaway!  Unfortunately the internet on my phone was made of fail.

It was just sosososososososooso GOOD.  Happy times.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/62714352@N03/5921723482/in/photostream/lightbox/

*Want to clarify none of these guys are bad musicians, and I am familiar with their music, but wouldn't have chosen to watch them on those slots compared to who they were up against.

i've just been watching some youtube-videos of this performance... it was so perfect, still is my favourite show ever, but i cant find any good footage. does anyone have any?

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

There's some great footage on youtube filmed by fans. It wasn't recorded professionally, as nothing on Park stage is.

Shame but it was great....Though Brixton and RAH gigs were even better! (They just keep on getting better live on this reunion in my eyes!)

Have to 100% agree with you here! Went to both Brixton and the RAH and was completely blown away at both. RAH was a very special gig. I'm really hoping that they headline Glasto next year as I think we could have a proper special show similar to the Blur one in 2009.

Also interesting to see Jarvis say he's writing ideas down for new Pulp songs. I think in this current climate Jarvis's narrative take on society in songs would be perfect

[LondonTom]

I just realised the shame there was sposed to be about no proper footage of it! missed a whole sentence

They were outstanding at Leeds. Nearly ruined by some little dickhead constantly talking until I told him to shut the fuck up or fuck off. Nobody ruins Pulp for me.

He must've been a real twat to even come close to ruining that set.
They were just sublime, very different to their set at the park but they were both just amazing.

It's a shame as it's teenagers like that who give Leeds a bad name, there were people of all ages enjoying that set but some right dickheads. Luckily he shut the fuck up when I basically told him that if he didn't want to watch them then he could fuck off, he apologised and slowly moved away.
