So Pulp are doing Reading & Leeds then

[jimmystobo]

I'm hoping to get some press passes and sell ours on, though looking on eBay they're not going for face value

[Guest blackcockerel]

I'm not complaining I'm just saying, f**king hell!

[jimmystobo]

it was just a pretty stupid thing to say, that's all.

[Guest blackcockerel]

Well I'm really glad you took the time out to tell me, must make you feel great.

[chewbacca]

hm... the leeds/reading headliners are UK-exclusive, aren't they? so, with pulp headlining leeds, does this rule them out for glasto?

[Guest blackcockerel]

They're not headlining though

Ah you're right, they've gone for the same set up as 2000 when Pulp and Beck swapped headlining slots. But as you say, if they're headlining Wireless then the exclusive quote isn't right

Jimmy, get a life you prick

Pulp are everywhere this summer; V being the obvious exception. Pretty they'll do Glasto.

[Guest blackcockerel]

No but you're making it clear you're a bit of a w*nker Jimmy

[AdamSheff]

Im confused. NME have posted that Pulp and Strokes are co headlining. I thought that Leeds have exclusive headliners?? Pulp are playing Wireless as headliners yes?? Sorry if this question has already been answered!

[Guest blackcockerel]

Did the quote about exclusive headliners refer to just Reading perhaps? Otherwise it can't be right

[danvb]

its co-headlining.

reading has it as pulp then the strokes as the last headliner on the main stage.

Leeds has it as the strokes as the first of the co-headliners then pulp last on the main stage.

[AdamSheff]

I dont remember. I dont think so though. Seems like a sly move from R+L. Why not just let one headline on both nights?? Pulp obviously dont have a problem with playing second fiddle as TITP proves (and hopefully glasto)

[AdamSheff]

[Guest blackcockerel]

In 2000, I think the reason Beck and Pulp "co-headlined", with Pulp headlining Leeds, was that they were considered more popular in the north then the south, so the two acts came to an agreement to swap slots. Must be a similar thing

[5co77ie]

Yes i get that. But Mr Benn said that the headliners were exclusive to Leeds and Reading. Pulp are headlining yes??? So they arent an exclusive

[AdamSheff]

It says, "Pulp, whose Leeds show will be their only date in the North of England since they announced their return." So, a north of England exclusive

Yeah we already know Pulp aren't an exclusive headliner so f**k it I'm still confident Glasto has them. Someone has told me that Look North said something about Leeds being Pulp's final gig, anyone else see that?

[Wanderlei]

I just heard The Offspring are doing Reading/Leeds too. I'm a bit worried that all the acts i really like are doing other fests and aren't even rumoured for Glasto. Hopefully some will come through for me.
