Third Other Stage Headliner

[Vieuphoria]

I'm still not ruling out the Libs.... I don't trust the weasley little bastards. However if it is someone like Pulp, then i'd imagine the Libs might do a secret set somewhere.

[Memory Man]

based upon this it looks as though pulp will be pyramid 2nd headliners. makes sense really. cant wait

[strummer77]

Are you still thinking Underworld then, Neil?

Pulp are surely too much of a draw to go on the other stage. Reckon it has to be second from top on the pyramid if they're gonna play

[Ed209]

This is true Neil, but Beyonce has become a headliner when you suspect she was originally playing below Coldplay on the Saturday. Plus, I'm not sure Pulp would be bothered about TV coverage, would they? Anyway, if it's not the case then high up on the Pyramid is better than nothing.

Because at the moment they're only playing festivals, I imagine the only gig they'll be worrying about selling tickets for would be Wireless

[4AssedMonkey]

why would Pulp not be bothered by TV coverage!? I imagine Pulp would definitely want tv coverage! What band on a comeback tour looking to shift tickets and sell their back catalogue would not want tv coverage?

[Guest blackcockerel]

Yeah, until more plans are announced, if any, I shouldn't think TV coverage really matters.

Thanks for that photo, I had no idea what you were getting at until then.

[bunchy]

It will be Morrissey

[Lynne Scratch Perry]

Yes it does.

Why are they playing those other festivals?

Which is the one thing Glastonbury can't offer. But Glastonbury CAN offer you prime time TV coverage - and don't the top two bands of each night on the Pyramid stage experience something like a 900% uplift in record sales the following week?

It's about those incremental benefits

[The Nal]

Is it only me that thinks people on here massively overestimate how popular Pulp are? I really like them, but I just don't think that they would be that bigger draw now, certainly not too big to headline the other stage.

[robith]

While they are unlikely to do a Leonard Cohen/Van Morrison and refuse to be televised, I wouldn't think they are overly fussed by the TV live broadcast.

Let's face it, there definitely will be some coverage of them, even if they're on third down on the Other (which they won't be).

[Steve P]

Yep. But theres been previous Other Stage headliners with lesser known tunes. Panic at the Disco come to mind.

[Guest blackcockerel]

Oh God, here we go again.... If the Verve can headline the Pyramid, of course Pulp can cocking well headline the Other. Do some research and look at their history with the festival!

[Bisque]

Absolutely, they'd certainly be bigger than most acts that headline the other stage. But I think if you asked the average punter to name some Pulp tunes they'd be struggling after Common People and Disco 2000. It's not like Pulp ever had the same fan base and popularity of Blur for example.

[Guest blackcockerel]

Watch them in person and you'll see what the fuss is about!

[Steve P]

Look where they are on the line-ups of other festivals this summer. Of course they could headline the Other stage

Don't suppose you, or anyone else, have any links to videos at all (I know it's not the same as being there)?

EDIT- Would they play the song from the Harry Potter movie?
