Watching pulp vid on youtube, is that a wind turbine to the left of the stage?

[rexclark]

think biffy and foo fighters have too much of the same fans to make them clash

there would be a load of people who would love to see both, and a load of people saying how shit the saturday night is

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

But that's surely what they want? To split the crowd up a bit.

[rexclark]

yeah but it would be much better with two popular acts which are different

like prodigy and blur, which split the crowd well whilst giving a bit of an option

[Chocscoffer]

I got soooo excited at the prospect of Pulp at Glasto that a little bit of wee came out

[kpins]

Not a massive fan of Pulp I have them down as an annoying student band without any really decent tunes. However I probably think they are big enough (just) to headline.

However do any hardcore Pulp fans know what the group line-up might be? I am a massive fan of Richard Hawley and if he played with Pulp it might increase the chances of him playing a solo gig?

^ No, he's not in the band, but I wouldn't rule out a guest appearance.

Sort of.

It looked like a turbine. But the story goes that it was consuming electricity and not generating it - power and not wind was being used to turn the blades.

But talking of electricity being generated at Worthy Farm, check the story that'll be on efests later today.

Is this Pulp-related Neil?

Nope, but it was 'question in thread' related.

Ticket is purchased!

Has anyone noticed on the Pulp People site that you can now give them your email to receive further updates? Definitely more gigs to come. I'm holding out on this venue tour I heard about, don't like the sound of Wireless... and they're bound to be headlining Glasto!

Don't worry, we WILL see them!

[eggyrocks]

As long as we don't have a Cast reunion before Pulp I think it'll be worth it, 30,000 tickets on sale, way bigger than I normally do though.

Last time I did Wireless was 2005 when 02 were chucking free tickets at anyone that would look in their direction.

I'm happy with seeing them three times over the next summer. Nice warm-up show (hopefully), Glasto and wireless.

[fullfathom5]

^ I'm actually quite looking forward to the Cast gigs, oh well.

Wireless ticket purchased.

[essex_jim]

I didn't see Pulp when they last played as have only started doing Glastonbury this year (and have a ticket for next!) but to me they seem like a proper Glastonbury band. They know how to work the crowd and have the hits. Would work very well as a headliner and I'd be more than happy.

[bexface]

I would love it if they played!

Pyramid Stage

U2

Pulp

Foo Fighters

Elbow

Prince

Kylie

Other Stage:

Pendulum

Mumford & Sons

Biffy Clyro

Klaxons

Chemical Brothers

White Lies

Looks realistic enough to me, I'd put Pulp in the same sort of category as The Specials.
