Fingers crossed, could only be headliners given Hyde Park etc. I'd even trek to the pyramid for Jarvis and co.

Their flyer says 'first gigs to be announced are' so there are more to come.

[milly16]

PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE PLAY GLASTO

I went all cold reading about the reform,best news i've had all year..YIPPEEEEEE

[FloorFiller]

surely they wouldn't headline the Pyramid?

i know they were huge but... for a lot of people it's all about Common People and not much else, and as Neil said, they were on a steady decline towards the end

i would've thought Other Stage headliner would be far more fitting

also, if this 'three biggest bands in the world' thing is true (i'm not sure if it was disregarded or whatever) then they definitely don't fit that

Other Stage headliner or second on Pyramid i reckon

I'M ON A HIGH NOW......BEST NEWS EVER,EVER

Oh, dear.

I had just about convinced myself that I was having a year off this year, due to the expenditure involved in such a weekend and none of my friends bothering to get tickets, but can I really miss this?

Wireless won't do. It's utter shite.

Just thought I'd drop by to see a few efesters explode with excitement.

OK, bye!

[neil999]

i really dont think they should headline...be perfect for other stage tho, not sure how similar how similar this is to when the verve headlined when they reformed, you could make comparisons on how big they are and fanbase...

[Bort]

Maybe they will do Roskilde, too? Same weekend as Wireless.

[fullfathom5]

Just a thought, could it be as follows?

Fri: U2

Sat: Coldplay with Beyonce on before

Sun: Pulp

[In transit]

Pulp could easily headline. They'd be better than the Verve and not as good as Blur and I'm fairly sure thousands would enjoy it.

All that said if it is U2, Prince, Coldplay or similar then they could easily take perhaps an elongated second slot under Prince.

A fourth headliner you say...

[Guest blackcockerel]

I reckon they'll play Sunday too

[MEGABOWL]

I would generally agree with this, though Blur did buck the trend.

I would rather they didnt play so our memories can remain untarnished, but if they did play it could quite easily be sensational. Or awful.

This reunion doesnt make mich sense to me though I must admit.

[FloorFiller]

They are considered to be one of the best headliners there of all time. And for good reason. And a lot of people didn't expect them to be any good headlining in 95

[russycarps]

Blur was a bit different though wasn't it? Not only did they have a huge pool of hits to draw on but there was the personal side of it. I'm still convinced that Albarn's main motivation was healing friendships (even if the others had money on their mind) and that was a part of what made it so emotional

[eFestivals]

That blur gig was special on so many levels.

well, apart from the fact it was Blur on stage of course.

[rexclark]

This is the first time the full Pulp line up has played together since 1996, so many people (myself included) would never have got to see the original line up so I think this makes it pretty special.

[Guest blackcockerel]

aye but it'd now be 16 years later, when they don't exactly have anything to prove, and are probably doing it for the money (Jarvis' solo career isn't exactly flourishing sales-wise)

and yeah... Pulp were never exactly HUGE (not upto the standards of Blur etc anyway) and only had one REAL hit (Common People, of course)

with Blur there was sing along after sing along with huge mass crowd participation, but with Pulp.. i don't know

i'd just find it weird if they headlined really. wouldn't seem right. when they broke up they weren't headline size (in 2002 at Reading/Leeds they were second, under The Strokes who literally had one album) so i don't see why they should be headlining now

[Vogue]

Words cannot explain how EXCITED I was to hear this news about half an hour ago. I LOVE PULP. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE SAY THEY'LL PLAY GLASTONBURY!!!! Surely it's looking very likely to happen? It all makes sense, and it would fit nicely around the dates they've announced....!!
