What's this Pulp rumour all about?

[Tommy]

I've spotted a few people suggesting Pulp might play... what's the craic there? Has Jarvis said something?

[Rachie]

from what ive read nothing has been said. (by pulp i mean not on here!)If anything pulp are against the reunion completly.

I dont know where the rumours come from at all. If it DID happen i doubt it'll be any time soon.

I think its just people wanting them 2 play! However, I sadly don't see it happening!

EDIT: found on wikipedia:

In June 2009, Cocker stated in an article in The Sun that he had no intention of reuniting the band but suggested that a financial incentive might sway him.[26] He added that he would be watching how well Blur's comeback performances would be received at the Glastonbury Festival.

Well I hope he watched closely because Blur went down greatly!

Never been an obsessive superfan of them but I do like them all the same, and Bad Cover Version in the sunset would be a real goosebump-inducing Glastonbury moment.

It's pretty much down to blur reforming and there is always talk of big reunions some matter more than others.(Such as Libertines they were never that great and probably if they stayed together would have fizzled out.)

Would love to see Pulp, Blur was amazing at T this year and it would be another band I thought I wouldn't get to see checked off

JC was awsome in John Peel this year, I'd be happy to see him do a solo set again. Pulp were cool but theres something about old guys singing songs about girls and sex and junk that they wrote when they were young, which is just a bit wrong. Not in a pervy wrong way, just that the young mans anguish and emotion isn't there and they are kind of just singing songs which no longer mean anything to them. you get what I mean???

It's based on wishful thinking and the brilliance of the last time. I can not see Jarvis doing it, he's quite content with his solo stuff and doesn't even play any Pulp when he preforms. I just can't see it, it's about as remote as the other rumor someone mentioned to me the other day of THE Jam!!!!!!!!!!

[olly!olly!olly!]

[angelesque]

I would spontaneously combust if Pulp played next June... But haven't seen any hint in the media that they're actually planning to reunite. All wishful thinking I guess...

[Niblet]

It's more of a "look what Pulp did on the 25th anniversary, I wonder if they will on the 40th." type of thing. They had their moment in '95 and I don't think the magic would be the same if they reformed.

[HandBanana]

I would go berserk for a Pulp reunion.

Absolutely bonkers.

[ShadyBlueBell]

Too early to tell after all is 8 plus a bit months awayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[no1_foxymama]

Yup, I would pretty much weep with joy the whole way through the set. Would love this more than anything, ANYTHING in the world.

Please Jarve. Pretty please. Although I can't see it happening this year

Do Pulp have the back catalogue? Really? In the eyes of the public it's "Different Class" plus a couple of tracks either side - "Do You Remember The First Time" and "Help The Aged" maybe?

This is not a slight on Pulp - but they're hardly Springsteen, Blur or Neil Young.

I think they grabbed their headline slot and played it perfectly, but they lucked out geting it...

Would be a cracking sub headliner but don't see them as the main event...
