Okay well maybe this is the wrong thread for Pulp then, but they've got potential to be in the frame somewhere

Nick Banks was teasing an announcement for Pulp last night as well on Bluesky, what's happening then..

I went on the Friday and A Certain Romance is something that will stay with me forever.

 

Mesmerised (and may have shed a tear).

I was a little surprised they did full ACR and then only treated it as a one-off tbf. At the very least, I thought it might have made the cut for the second night in Sheffield on that run.

This info/something you’ve heard or just speculation cause they’re touring? Pulp subbing Neil (the slot I assume they’d be most likely in) would be an all timer sub/head combo.

An act getting the call up has only happened about 3 times in the last 30 years though.

could be a new album - they have added some new songs to some live dates.

So far, the tour extends to just being at Tramlines Festival in July. But it's long been assumed it was more than a one-off.

Yeah a single today wouldn't be out of question. They've signed to Rough Trade so there will be some album / new music at some point.

It is a good hit rate, 3 in 30, when The 1975 had to do it twice in two years at R+L.

Yeah, would be pretty crazy if they didn’t stop off at Glastonbury at all on this reunion so I’m sucking down copium that this’ll be the year given next year is a no-go.

[NorthernSoul52]

I... think they will be there.

 

But still, headliners seem fairly set now, unless The 1975 shoot themselves in the foot or Olivia Rodrigo wiggles out for something else.

They won't be headlining if they play. No way are Tramlines and Glastonbury sharing a headliner in the same year.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Pulp as Pyramid super-sub would be great.

 

Although starting to look like it may not be Duran Duran's year yet again

Pulp are sub level now, surely?

 

I thought there was something about them subbing Neil Young doing the rounds recently?

I mean, their 2023 run sold out Finsbury Park and they headlined Isle of Wight, Latitutde & TRNSMT. Sub feels like it wouldn't be that far removed - I mean, if this year had LCD Soundsystem doing it, Pulp feel like they're in a similar ball-park.

Yup. I’m reluctant to call it an absolute lock after them teasing us the past two years, but… can’t see that as anything other than a nice run up to Glastonbury. Neil sub, let’s go!

[NorthernSoul52]

Pulp to sub Saturday beneath Neil Young, Duran Duran to sub Sunday below Olivia Rodrigo.

 

Loyle Carner, Charli XCX and The Prodigy to top Other.

Assume you mean Roan rather than Dave?

Could do a set of Rick James covers?

Given he wanted £100 for a gig at the Albert Hall the other year (admittedly one where Jon Stewart also came along), I doubt he'd be appearing for a low fee.
