Wireless Festival, Hyde Park, 3rd July 2011 (was "Wireless meetup?")

Hey everyone,

I'm new.

Was wondering if there was any sort of meetup organised for the London Wireless show in July?

Personally I'm in a bit of a quandry - I'm absolutely desperate to see them live but most of my friends aren't in for it. Either they like Pulp but not enough to want to go from Leeds to London on a Sunday for it...or want to go to the Saturday of Wireless instead...or were about to go until Prince announced his Hop Farm gig on the same day.

So either way I think I'll go but if there was some way of watching it with a few people then that would be ideal. I'm not used to going to gigs on my own and I guess a few fans getting together would be fun either way...

Yeah I think there has been mention on here of plenty of interest in a wireless meet up. I´m definately up for it, was great to meet Eamonn this weekend and it would be nice to meet more of you at wireless.

We have a few weeks to sort out details, perhaps this thread could be used to do so?

Ha, this personally feels quite funny to be a total newbie on this site and get the wheels in motion on a forum meetup between people who've been on here for years.

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

Round the corner in soho - that's very clever.

Yeah I'm up for it. Me and a load of mates are going so we can just work it into the grand plan! Just need someone to suggest a time and a place

I honestly do think a meetup at Bar Italia either before the gig for some lunch, or maybe for a drink or two after the gig would be funny and to see just how many other Pulp fans that day have the same idea.

Think it only takes about 20 minutes to Tube it from there, or its about half an hour walk up Oxford St to Hyde Park.

I was thinking the same thing. How many people can we cram into a cafe in Soho? There are ten of us! Let's go!

I'm up for meeting up. I was wondering about a post gig venue. Don't know of any nights on a Sunday in London though!

i'd love that as well. I'm heading over from Sydney and I know one person going but as I purchased those expensive tickets, I think I'll end up standing/dancing in the grand stand by myself which is a little sad....but yes I'd love to meet up with some massive Pulp fans!!

I'm game for it. I'm a massive Pulp fan and I hardly ever meet other fans, so it would be cool to meet fellow fans.

Maybe we could all meet at a pub (Pulp centric perhaps) Maida Vale, Kentish Town (does Mark still live around there?), Finsbury Park, Brixton, Hoxton Park - get my drift....on Saturday night before Wireless or even Friday night.

Just thinking out aloud here?

Maybe if we all put where we live/or are staying for the event I could work out where to meet maybe for a saturday meet up before the gig? Sadly I'm an expert on London pubs! I promise not to suggest the nice place 30 seconds from my house...

Trying to think of somewhere to go on the Sunday - it might have to be some shitey cheesey place in town.

It would be great meeting up at some point. Does anyone knows what kind of time will the festival finish ?

Does anyone else have the same problem ? I met my husband well after Pulp split up, so he never saw the groupie-side of me... He's coming to Wireless but might get a little scared off !

Heres the map to walk from Bar Italia in Soho to Hyde Park...

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&xhr=t&q=bar+italia+soho&cp=11&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1366&bih=541&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

Not the closest but also easily walkable - plus Marble Arch tube is 5 minutes tube from Tottenham Court Road if you don't feel like walking it that much.

They serve beer/wine as well as pre-gig food!

Does anyone know around what time Pulp will actually be on stage? I should have college Monday though something tells me I may be 'ill' on that day (Pulp clearly has priority over my education :P) Plus do you reckon there will be a way to get the pulp wireless poster? It's pretty cool!

Pulp are on Sunday, not Monday. Unless you're talking about not being able to make it back home in time for Monday?

I'd imagine they'll be on around 9ish.

lol I know Pulp are on Sunday but for the Barcelona concert they came on at 1.45 AM Saturday for their Friday concert so was wondering whether it would be the same sort of story here - I'm no festival genius though so maybe they're completely different (I suppose it is Sunday and probably quite a few people have work the next day)

Nope, Hyde Park will have a curfew. It'll be 9, half 9 at the latest with a finish by 11pm

Spanish/Portuguese/Latin American countries do everything later, but here we care about our sleep a bit too much...

Was really looking forward to this - have been let down by a friend for the other ticket! Can't afford the trip from rotherham and associated costs :(

If anyone's looking for 2 tickets - have 2 eTickets going begging. Sorry to derail this thread!!

I have a similar problem - I'm going to Wireless with my husband too and I think he's slightly alarmed by my fever pitch excitement . My daughter recently asked, "Do you love Jarvis more than Daddy?"
