I wonder why they are playing Wireless, of all festivals.

Money, of course.

The "reform rule" is in play. They want the money.

But I also think they'll want Glastonbury too (and have info to back that up) - after all, it was rumours of them reforming for Glasto which cropped up about a year ago that have probably been the driving force behind actually reforming.

Will be great to see Pulp with the original lineup. Saw them at V96 and they were sensational. Saw them a couple of times after that and they never quite recaptured the magic, so hopefully they'll storm it!

[llcoolphil]

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

[LEDZEP66]

Sorted for e's and whizz, Sunday night, 11pm, see you at the front. Get in

[KatiePC]

I'll even let you drink it for me on account of the fact drinking cider and drinking your own piss are indistinguishable acts

[Foxy1984]

Please let this happen!

[rexclark]

I really, really hope this too - DP clash with U2 would be perfect!

Has anyone been to Wireless? Will Pulp get bottled off the stage like the chavs on facebook are threatening?

It wasn't Wireless, but the crowd for Blur at Hyde Park was mostly pleasant, but there were a significant number of awful people there. Not the bottling or heckling the band kind of awful, but more of the violently shove people to get up front and start fights with people.

Hopefully the rest of the lineup on the Pulp day will keep out the riffraff.

Pulp-meh

Jarvis said this after this year's fest, which I'd never seen before. He also said he'd be there after his DJ set this year, as someone pointed out, and he implied the same on his 6music show.

Been listening to His n Hers this morning - what an album!

[adamski]

It's an interesting one about whether they'd headline. That Glastonbury gig back in 95 was probably the start of them getting big, but they didn't get huge, there are plenty of bigger bands around, all the other possible headliners that have been mentioned (u2, prince, coldplay, foos, radiohead) are much bigger.....

It's also interesting to see people mentioning Pulp as headliners on the pyramid, and Suede as other stage. I'd say they were probably as popular as each other at their relative peaks.

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

OK, bye!

Musically I'd say you were about right, but Jarvis has become a bit of a national treasure (all the more amusing cos he lives in France ) off the back of his Michael Jackson thing along with his general character.

[ICGenie]

Love Pulp, saw them at V96 and Reading 2000. Don;t see them headlining though - Other Stage headliners opposite U2 to split the crowd I reckon

[fullfathom5]

^ I hope not, I want to see both.

[Bort]

Even if they aren't big enough to headline, what are people going to do? Cancel their tickets? Since the festival is already sold out, it doesn't really matter if they are "big enough to headline".

An unpleasant rainy Monday, has just turned into the brightest day of the year.

Are the crowd really that dodgy at Wireless? As I reckon I'll be getting tickets for that just in case they don't do the big G.
