pulp

[Rachie]

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.

I hope not cus I didn't get a ticket.

My sister did and SHE DON'T EVEN LISTEN TO THEM.

[Guest blackcockerel]

I can't believe Russell Senior is back with them!

[Mardy]

Interesting, Blur, when they were together never really seemed that huge to me, when I think of going to see them, at various points during their career, I think I never saw them anywhere bigger than say Brixton academy (release of the 4th album or so)

So, yeah, bit of nostalgia, I can see them headlining, or, I think more realistically, second from top if the headliner is a really big name.

[Mardy]

Oh, and I'm going for them to play the Saturday night, not the Sunday.

[rexclark]

completely agree.

(i got to see the original pulp in 96, my first ever gig/festival )

If the facebook page and previous lineups are any indication, the crowd is going to be awful at Wireless. I wonder why they are playing Wireless, of all festivals. It is definitely not the sort of headliner they usually get (Pink, anyone?).

[Mardy]

I was thinking Sunday as it tends to be the nostalgia slot and traditionally the biggest band normally headlines Saturday. Of course that's a bit different this year with U2 on Friday

[Bort]

They need to headline because a full set is absolutely necessary. Way too many songs that need to be heard.

[KatiePC]

Can't believe so many doubting their ability to headline!!! They weren't only Oasis and Blur around. And to the clown who said one song, I think you'll find they had a few more than Common People. I saw them in '95 there and they only filled in at the last for The Stone Roses, and were nowhere near top choice replacement. Common People hadn't long been out and virtually everyone only knew that, and were blown away. Of any reforming 90's bands it's gotta be Pulp. People saying they are only big enough to headline the second stage are talking out their arse. And with RussellSenior back in the frame, it will be a diamond night.

[Guest blackcockerel]

Absolutely, this whole reforming business is probably got a hell of a lot to do with Glasto, they wouldn't reform to do a short set there.

[rexclark]

I really, really hope Daft Punk and Pulp both play and don't clash.

Was reported that Jarvis commented last month about some 'mud in June'. Seems a cert

[**claire**]

This is good news!

Going home now to get my Pulp CDs out!

[llcoolphil]

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

[Pinhead]

I'd be pretty confident that they will play - seems like an appropriate time now. Their career has very strong connections with Glastonbury.

Pulp are down as a strong rumour!! AHHHHHHHHH the anticipation is killing me

[llcoolphil]

There is some idiocy in this thread. A fully reunited Pulp not big enough to headline? A band with only one song? Dear god.

If we can take it that Pulp will play (and I can!), this announcement shits on any other announcement still to come.
