2013 Headliners

[dip]

"It this really it Jarvis? The last ever Pulp show on terra firma?" "Ohh, I can't..." he cracks a smile and trails off.

"So...We'll see. But this is it - for now"

[Guest]

Well that makes me a little less confident they wont play, but I still doubt it.

You were saying it's a new term, when it's not. But it's a new term to you, so you must have been working from that angle.

I guess dot-to-dot puzzles aren't your forte.

Sub = substitute, natch. Any other use can fark off.

To be fair to them, the Scissor Sisters were fantastic in 2010

I don't think they'd go for Pulp as a headliner now anyway. I suppose they could have done it in 2011, but it seems the sheen has worn off their reunion and they aren't that big of a draw now they've done the rounds. How much credibility does that legendary set still give them nowadays? Not enough, IMO.

[Kareneh]

I'm going for Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys and Pulp.

Can't see Pulp not playing

It wasnt exactly a farewell gig Pulp did, they played a week later on that Coachella cruise, and Jarvis has since said it'll be the last gigs for quite a while but he'd never rule out playing again. I can't see them playing any gigs in the next couple of years though, unless they're fooling us all.

Rumours all over websites, them headlining coachella, them announcing a 2013 tour even them talking about glastonbury and sources claiming they are booked. If anything the rumour strengthens every day my friend.

Yes, but I feel the whole 'sailing off into the sunset' factor of the Coachella cruise may mean the end. Or will it? Basically, it has put doubt in people's minds as to whether they'll return - typical Pulp.If it had been Sheffield for the last show of the tour, the outcome of it all could be a little more definitive for the fans.

I think they will come back to Glastonbury at some point, though not this year. Possibly some new material and a Pyramid headline slot in the future.

Latest song from them in case anyone missed it, it's not bad at all:

alrite me lovers, ain't posted on this forum properly in months. What have I missed?

[tevaburger]

I wish more people would avoid the main stage.

then i can see a band in peace without much of a crowd if i like them!

The Neil Young/Specials double bill was great, and the Blur/Nick Cave/Madness triple that Sunday was also top notch.

[eFestivals]

Why is everyone so sure about The Rolling Stones? What's changed from a couple of weeks ago when most people thought Jagger wouldn't take a cut in appearance money?

I'm still far from sure.

An article in The Sun last week pretty much stated that they still haven't made up their minds, so it doesn't look like it sorted just yet.

[Bort]

Jarvis told me on the cruise that they don't have any gigs booked. I get the impression they're open to it again at some point because it's been so enjoyable, but are just going on hiatus again to not wear out their welcome or they have other things going on.

Are you kidding, when I think mainstream I think acts that chart.

Fleetwood mac don't chart.

[LondonTom]

Pulp, I am far from certain with anything they say, if you read what Jarvis actually said nothing is very explicit but I doubt for this year, they would need either new material or a final final tour

[Mardy]

isn't it the way now that all these bands have reformed, they don't bother to split up again cos they know how lucrative it can be to do a few gigs every now and then.

Pulp will be back when the demand returns.

What about Prince? Is it a no go?

Also IIRC he only confirms gigs with a couple of months notice which isn't much use for an event like Glastonbury.
