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.

I'm delighted by this news, really hope they play at Glastonbury!

[reallife]

dunno how I am supposed to work this arvo now...

may get told off for my internet useage!

I'm pretty sure he now lives in England sinse splitting from his wife.

A lot of parallels between Blur and Pulp really - let's not forget Blur also went into a bit of a dip after their main left-field creative force left (Coxon, Senior) and subsequent albums were never as popular (We Love Life, Think Tank). For my money Blur's Glasto performance last year totally blew away the time I saw them in 1997 when they may have filled the NEC, but they were clearly bored of it all.

By comparison, my two Pulp experiences (Que Club and NEC) still rank among my favourite gigs of all time, and if they're going to the effort of re-forming then I would expect them to be as tight as they once were.

Let's also not forget it was Glastonbury that propelled them into the big league when they stepped in for the Stone Roses. I'd like to see them headline the Other Stage to give some competition to the anodyne U2-fest that the Pyramid will offer.

And Jarvis Cocker's solo gigs are brilliant.

btw Wireless is cack. Without doubt the worst festival I've been to.

Any festival that requires you to be on a specific phone network to gain access to one of the stages can only be a bad bad BAD thing. Never going again. Corportate fascists.

[sisterofmercy]

Great news, hope they play

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.

Other stage I reckon, can't see then headlining the pyramid. They don't have the pull of blur for example and as has been mentioned, were on the fade in terms of popularity when they split up

[bunchy]

V Festival has always been called V Festival.

[Troop Dogg]

Sorry...must be getting my festivals muddled up...it's my age you see!

[Troop Dogg]

What?

[lac999]

Yeah I am starting to think it end up being half full of chavs who would much rather see a pop or rap artist but are going anyway to have a right moan.

Its defo a festival much like HRC that you go cos a band you quite like is playing for me and so i don't get how people can moan about the artists .

I'll get tickets for Wireless as I've seen some great bands there, but please Glasto, please.

[LEDZEP66]

I don't care where they play, pyramid, other, Jp. They will play and I will be there

[Guest blackcockerel]

I've read that they're planning an indoor venue tour as well

[mike46]

Is anyone else going to xfm's winter wonderland? The London leg has a 'special secret guest' which they let slip last week was a big Brit pop act...I assumed suede bit now their websites made a big deal about the reunion (bigger than the libertines and blur's I seem to remember)...

I'm probably putting two and two together and getting ten but is it possible?

Argh in so excited! They have to be at glasto!!
