I don't think AM/Elton level, but still would be a big draw judging by selling out the shows they have put on. I don't actually think Pulp would expect to headline. Almost certainly though, they haven't skipped a secret set this year just to do a secret set next year. I think it's going to be similar to Jack White back some years ago where he subbed as an exclusive by virtue. Victorious being only 2 hours away and a festival that doesn't sell out quick may not want 3 months of a large amount of potential ticket sales affecting their booking.

theglastokid Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Was at Finsbury Park, my first time seeing them since Reading 2000 and they were outstanding. Absolutely loved it. Only downside was the long queues at the bar, missed Do You Remember The First Time and Babies whilst waiting for a 'quick' pint. Therefore, I managed to grab two tickets for Hammersmith on the Saturday instead as those two are two of my favourites. Should be amazing in such a small venue with the light show etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbler Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 I really don't see why they can't headline tbh. Sold out pretty much all the shows including Finsbury Park (same as The 1975 who are supposedly in the running), headlined IoW. What more do they need to do?

If The Cure can headline then Pulp can. See also Arcade Fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the new song they debuted the other night was one that Jarvis had written for a film soundtrack a few years ago rather than something created with Pulp in mind.

And even moreso given that I'd noted on a YouTube page that it's a good 5-6 minutes long, so bit of a long goodbye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCK Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 I said it previously, give Pulp that Pyramid headline slot and they would absolutely knock it out of the park. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would. I'm sure they wouldn't get a huge crowd of hip young people, but it'd be respectable enough. Their current show though is tremendous and I would love to see it at Glasto. And forget about Other Stage nonsense, get 'em headlining the Pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field of Avalon Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 After seeing them at Latitude last night for the first time they definitely deserve to headline The Pyramid. Absolutely awesome performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, my sister in law was a hip young thing in 2011 and had heard that Pulp was worth seeing, she loved it! Also similar for The Cure last time, we stood with a bunch of teens, they loved it, knew enough to have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They liked The Vaccines back then! Maybe have Pulp do a duet with Dua Lipa or Yungblud or whoever and get them trending on TikTok, that'll get the youngens' attention.

Crazyfool01 Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 Thought I’d never seen pulp but my friend informed me I’d seen them at homelands around 2001 . My memory of that event is poor 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a Pulp for Victorious 24 rumour you’re starting? Can’t see it but would be awesome. I think they’re more likely to round off this run with a Glastonbury performance.

My niece is 15 and going to Pulp is one of the few cool choices I have ever made according to her. This year at Glastonbury I made all the wrong choices but going to see Pulp in Warrington that was actually really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a festival 2 hours away, anyway that got Glastonbury tickets I think would affect their sales. Even this year Pulp did events that did not sell out quick at certain festivals, which is fine with multiple in the same boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
