As there are now a fair few live dates I thought I'd put them all in a thread for easy reference. Any new dates can be added as and when. What we have so far I copied and pasted from PulpWiki...
* 27 May - Primavera Sound Festival, Barcelona * 11 June - Isle of Wight Festival, Seaclose Park, Newport, Isle of Wight * 1 July - Opener Festival, Gdynia, Poland * 3 July - Wireless Festival, Hyde Park, London * 7 July - Exit Festival, Novi Sad, Serbia * 10 July - T in the Park, Kinross, Scotland * 16 July - Melt! Festival, Ferropolis, Gräfenhainichen, Germany * 10 August - Sziget Festival, Budapest, Hungary * 12 August - Oya Festival - Oslo, Norway * 13 August - Way Out West, Gothenburg, Sweden
These far-flung places like Serbia and Hungary remind me of Hawley commenting on Pulp's trip to a new country in '02 (think it was the same festival in Hungary) and Nick saying to him ''I'm going to miss these trips away''.
Do France have any big festivals? It was always Pulp's second home (well '91-'95 anyway). And I feel bad for the hardcore Italian fans who have never seen Pulp (I think they only played that posh artists do in Venice in '99).
Possible the same festival in Budapest, yeah. I went to that. I m considering going to this, too. Maybe. I don't think the *date* is out yet? If it was I'd probably go because that would mean The National playing the same day.
(I wish they'd do "real" shows, though instead of festivals. Unless they are doing Montreux, Montreux shows are quite unfestivallike.)

Line-up for Oxegen just been announced. Similar to T In The Park as usual but thankfully no Pulp.Don't think they'd really cater/care for thousands of sixteen year old skangers getting twatted on Dutch Gold and Buckfast. Not that they won't encounter that at other festivals (well maybe not the Dutchie or Buckfast but, yeah). Hopefully they'll do Electric Picnic (kind of like Ireland's Latitude festival, probably with more big names).

Confirmed for electric picnic. If I hadn't already booked a ticket and flight for primavera, I might have hit this instead. Killer lineup with. Arcade fire, the chemical bros, beirut, lykke li, etc.

Has anybody yet received their tickets for the Wireless date? I haven't yet. Probably because it is a while off still,, but I always get a little paranoid about these things! :S
I really wouldn't worry. You can't print etickets yet, something about the allocation format according to ticketmaster. So there's no way they'd've been posted yet.
Just a thought - I wonder if there'll be a DVD of Hyde Park? It could be a sequel to The Park Is Mine....................."THIS Park Is Mine, Too!!" I should stop posting now, I've had a couple of drinks......
I'd expect tickets will arrive quite close to the date (which may be a pain as I'm at Glasto the week before so can't sign for delivery if they turn up then!)
Just been looking for accomodation in London for 8 people... It's a nightmare but I think I've cracked it!
James - all you will do is make me jealous that you can have a drink and I can't!
Another East-European date added - festival in Slovakia on Jul 8th (day after the Serbia gig). France (and less likely but well worth it, Italy) still to come?
I was being geeky yesterday and looking up an old setlist on Pulp Wiki. I noticed a bit of a similar thing going on with the tour dates in 1998 as to what is happening now. Loads of festivals over the summer then a tour in the autumn. Maybe that's the way Pulp like to do live comebacks... maybe there will be a tour... maybe I'm going a bit mad. But thought it's worth pointing out here anyway!

If there is to be a tour, maybe there will be a new record. It would be a shame if all they do is comeback for a few gigs (15 and counting) and nothing else.
As a bare minimum, I would expect a revamp of Hits (Different Hits, perhaps?). But I hope there will be a lot more.
