Not sure where they'd play but sub or Other headline seem likely. Personally I think they could just about headline, but you'll get shot to pieces for saying that in the Headliners thread (I don't think all headliners just be stratospheric mega stars personally, though).

DwightShrute Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Re setlist, worth bearing in mind that Russell Senior is not involved in this reunion. He was a strong driver of Pulp until he left after Different Class (I would heartily recommend his memoir Freak Out The Squares). I think in 2011/12, one of the reasons they didn't play much from their last two albums (aside from them not containing the pop hitz of DC and HnH) was out of respect for Russell. Indeed, the festival sets saw him take a break off-stage for the songs he wasn't involved in. But this amounted to two songs only, This Is Hardcore and Sunrise. With those shackles off, I'd expect a lot more rotation from Hardcore (ie the four singles and Like A Friend) and a little more from We Love Life (Bad Cover Version, Trees) and hopefully After You, the one-off 2013 single originally recorded during the WLL era but reworked with James Murphy during the reunion.

Zoo Music Girl Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Tbh there isn't anything they could play that I wouldn't be happy to hear. They're one of those bands for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would almost be the perfect headliners, will not be the same if they are subs. Really grates on me that headliners have to be regarded as stadium straddling behemoths these days. Pulp, Nick Cave, Wolf Alice. I'd take that in a heartbeat over what's being rumoured over in the headliners thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURELY he will be at all of them? This will be my first ever Pulp gig and I'm a lifelong fan. I've watched the Reading gig countless times, particularly for the Sunrise moment... it's otherworldly. There's gonna be so many moments where I may cry. Oh man. I'd kind of assumed Hawley would be playing with them, as he did during the last reunion tour. Was super lucky and able to snag tickets for the Bridlington gig. It's a mega long way from Devon but will be totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we are going to run out of behemoths soon anyway and just have to start circling back through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lubic Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Nabbed a couple of Finsbury tickets just before they sold out. Regretted not seeing them on their last tour (apart from the Park set which was a classic). Plenty of Northern dates but all a bit awkward to get back from without a hotel anyway. On the subject, I think a Pyramid headline set would go down really well on the night, though I expect they will sub or headline other.

gigpusher Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Got Sunday Neighbourhood tickets. Worked out probably the cheapest option as would have needed accommodation and a dog sitter if we went for Sheffield and there’s a couple of other great acts on the bill so treated ourselves to VIP tickets as I thought demand for those would be less.

OddRon Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Relatively easy effort getting Cardiff tickets through See, gutted we don't get Wet Leg, who do we reckon the support will be? Pulp are one of the last great big bands I wanna see so I'm ecstatic either way. Hopefully Blur is as easy when they announce their shows.

Not sure about that - by today's sometimes hysterical standards of ticket sales, Pulp took around an hour to sell out London - which I was surprsied by tbh. Maybe due to them headlining other festivals? Most of the recent big gig announcements - AM tour, Fender at St Jame's Park went within 20 minutes. Blur also have a lot more popoular songs than Pulp. In my humble opinion. Edited November 4, 2022 by Nestacres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotdash79 Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 I have 2 standing for Scarborough 9th July for sale, face value plus fees (£132.85) offering them on here before I resell them on Ticketmaster. I plan on listing them tomorrow afternoon. Managed to get Bridlington tickets, so selling these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
