So, hypothetically, if someone were to organize a Pulp Tribute Night on the Friday before Wireless, would any of you be interested in attending/collaborating?

EDIT: ...in London, of course.

 Well, look.

It's a chance to hear rare Pulp and Pulp-related songs and bootlegs you will otherwise never get to hear in a public place, in a private bar full of like-minded fans. 

But... the pub (which I already have) needs to make a minimum £800, or I get stuck with the bill.  

So, I'd love to do this, but I need at least one other person to commit to co-DJ, help organise and promote the event. 

Oh, and I'm full ideas to turn it into a genuine 'event'. Door prizes, a Pulp Quiz, and some karaoke for brave souls among ya. But I can't do it all myself.

I agree. I'm coming down to London on Sunday for the show, so a meet up on Sunday evening would be great. Be good to go somewhere afterwards too. I've been looking into it and haven't found much yet!

 This would be great and could probably have helped out but I'm going to go see The Flaming Lips at Ally Pally on the Friday.

I'll be in London from Friday through to Monday so I'm easy when/where the meet up takes place.

Either way, bring it on. There's only one place we can go, it's around the corner in Soho...

A meet at Bar Italia would be good, though may I just add that acting out Pulp lyrics could not always have the best consequences!

I'm in London Saturday and Sunday so can meet either or both days, but unfortunately will not be able to make Fuss Free's proposed Pulp rarities night. I'm staying pretty much next to Hyde park, Kensington Gardens Square to be exact.

Good news as far as the lenght of the show is concerned :

EVENT TIMES

Friday 1st July (The Black Eyed Peas + Guests): Doors 14:30 - Show 16:00
Saturday 2nd July (The Chemical Brothers + Guests): Doors 12:00 - Show 14:00
Sunday 3rd July (Pulp + Guests): Doors 12:00 - Show 14:00

Set times will not be available until the week of the event, when they will be published on this website. The days headliners will be last on and will perform full concert sets, ending at around 22:30.

There will be no readmission to the event should you leave at any time during the day.

All times are subject to change.

I guess we can hope for a show as long as in Toulouse

Does anyone have an opinion on what would be a good time to arrive at Hyde Park in order to obtain a good vantage point? Am all prepared to stand through a few bands that I'm not too bothered about if it means I can sneak my way forward. Although I don't desperately want to be right at the VERY front, it would be nice to see a little more than just a few blurry stick figures in the distance.

I've been thinking the exact same thing. No idea on how to win the waiting game. I've never been to something this big, but I'm prepared to stand through a lot of bands I don't want to see in order to see Pulp.  Was also hoping to take pictures, but if I can't get a decent spot, there's no point I suppose. Any suggestions for this weary Canadian traveller would be most appreciated

It depends on the weather.  If it rains, you'll have no problem getting to the front as I experienced with Blur & Oasis in London in the dim and distant past.  Also if it is very hot then a few will drift backwards.  

Never been to wireless, but I think it's fair to say the audience won't be the most dedicated festival goers, and probably quite a few will be making for the exits long before the end, especially on a Sunday night.  

I'm not sure tickets are selling that well, because they are still advertising in London Metro just two weeks before the gig.  You may be able to stroll to the front.
