Probably no chance but.....

Went to buy Pulp @ Brixton tickets this morning. Weds 31st August already sold out, extra night of Thursday the 1st added....

I think it was mentioned more out of hope than expectation somewhere else, but what ARE the chances of a Pulp set over the weekend? Jarvis, is a regular as we all know.

Probably not alot of chance at all, but it's keeping me from being too disappointed at not being able to go. I'd rather get to EOTR on Thursday night than go to Pulp. :)

I think it's pretty slim! Much as I'd love it. Wouldn't be surprised to see a Jarvis appearance in some form though - probably as a dj! now they're playing in Brixton the Thursday I'd say there's pretty much no chance of a Pulp appearance on any other day.

They're playing Electric Picnic the same weekend as EoTR - Pulp's website has them playing on the 4 September. So...conceivable that they could come to EoTR on Fri/Sat... play an unannounced show as a warmup for Ireland....seems a bit optimistic really, but maybe we'll see Jarvis as a punter/DJ.

There is that mysterious hour and a half set up time on the Woods stage before Joanna Newsom, that I keep telling myself is there for a 45 minutes surprise set.

But from a purely selfish perspective, I got tickets for the Wednesday at Brixton anyway, so I'm not bothered whether they turn up or not now! :P:P:P

I hadn't realised the was a big gap between Woods and Newsome. Maybe there will be some kind of surprise act announced there - or more likely, one of the bands already playing elsewhere to do an extra set. Can't take an hour and a half to set a bloody harp up.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
