To play yes! To headline no!

How could they not headline? No respect.

I met Jarvis in Brighton and Los Angeles this year. Class act.

Second top, a la the Specials. 3 reunited Britpop headliners in 3 years is getting a bit predictable. It'll be Sleeper for 2011 next.

I'm trying hard not to be, but I'm so excited by the prospect of this!! I have a ticket to Pavement's ATP, and if I get to see Pavement *and* Pulp next year I shall be beside myself with glee!!!

On a slight side note, has everyone seen Mini Jarvis? I hadn't seen him until someone sent me a link a few days ago, and it's surely the cutest thing...

Awwww

[rachbon]

can't believe people think they're not big enough to headline. of course they are!

I been talking to few people and they don't seem to know they are but mention comon people or sometimes disco 2000 and their like "OHHH THAT BANDDD!" I think there would be lot of people there out of curiosity but wouldn't immediately think of them as headliners.

I think this another case of this forum building bands up to be much bigger than they actually are

They filled in for The Stone Roses and it was meant to have been sensational, fair enough.

Lets not get silly though, to go from, THE ROLLING STONES! to... Pulp. Seems a bit mad for the 40th Anniversary in my opinion.

I Like a few songs, be great if they played, but I think it'd be a terribly anti-climatic headline choice.

How stupid are you people? A band that has already headlined twice and hasn't toured in eight years isn't big enough to headline, but some two year old band like Arctic Monkeys can? Stupid.

Human League are a better Sheffield band than Arctic Monkeys as well anyway.

I refuse to be excited by this as Jarvis is an odd beanpole and I do not know if he isn't just messing with us or being sardonic. But it would be ace!

[fullfathom5]

I walked past Jarvis on the way to the Jazz Stage for Rolf Harris this year, he told me it was rammed and not to bother - I took his advice!

Cocker FM!

Cocker to host Sunday music show

Jarvis Cocker

Jarvis Cocker has already clocked up a host of broadcast experience

Musician Jarvis Cocker is to host the Sunday afternoon slot on BBC 6 Music from the New Year.

The former Pulp frontman, who has previously broadcast on Radio 2 and guest edited the Today programme, takes over from Stephen Merchant.

Cocker said his two-hour show would be filled with "hare-brained schemes and beautiful, beautiful music".

He is also planning a London residency, playing along to yoga classes and hosting jam sessions with his fans.

'Great honour'

In May, the singer took over an art gallery in Paris in which members of the public performed with him and his musicians.

The follow-up event is due to take place next month, culminating in a concert which will be broadcast live on the internet from the Village Underground in east London.

Cocker said that his new 6 Music mid-afternoon show is a "dream slot".

Jarvis Cocker in Paris

Jarvis Cocker performed in Paris for several hours a day

"It's that weird time when one week's effectively over and yet the new one's not yet begun - the 'limbo-hours' if you like.

"It is my intention to fill these hours with as much dodgy opinion, crackpot theories, hare-brained schemes & beautiful, beautiful music as is humanly possible.

"It's a great honour to be working for the BBC, which I consider to be the greatest broadcaster in the world," he added.

Bob Shennan, controller of 6 Music and Radio 2, said: "Jarvis just loves music. He's an iconic figure so he's perfect for Sundays on 6 Music."

Cocker joins a roster of presenters with a music background, including Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson, Cerys Matthews and Tom Robinson.
