It seems like Russell is coming though so I think that might bode well for some additional shows because why make poor Russell fly all the way to America just to play Coachella. Also I have a hefty fund put aside to see Pulp because I'm pretty much banking on that they're only going to play like the biggest cities five or more hours from where I live but I HAVE TO SEE THEM.
Fingers crossed for NYC or LA

YAY PULP IN 2012!! Could not be happier!!! (Whoever is behind the pulppeople site should know that the link to Coachella still links to Primavera sound)
I get the sad feeling that if Russell is making the trip to the USA, it must be a special reason for him to do that. Perhaps the finality of the upcoming gig(s) is the reason. I still pray for a UK tour and/or new material.
Having said that, perhaps the band had a change of heart and swayed towards a more lengthy stay than just a year. I can dream.

I can't imagine that Pulp, the most quintessentially British of all bands, would have their final gig at an American festival! No, there's definitely more to come after this.

I hope they had. Even if I get money to trip to the US, I don't drive, hate sun and won't have anyone to come with me. Arrrgh.
I share all these sentiments, I can only dream of such a trip regardless of if I had the cash or not. I do hope I get to see them one last time, despite me being the only Pulp fan I know. Wherever they play in the UK, I'll be there.
Pulp in 2012 is still far from Europe. Any chance to see them closer to home, how do you think?
There's no chance they won't do anything in Europe now Coachella has been annonced. I'm thinking they will at least tour in England and probably beyond - didn't Jarvis say something about French concerts in the spring?
I think he was conducting at some private event in Paris and mentioned it to somebody else that Pulp hoped to come to France in the spring (?) Sorry that's vague but I can't find the thread in which it was mentioned
Oh my, I have mixed feelings!!! The Brixton shows in September were the peak, it can never get any better than those two shows, at least not for me, it was absolutely incredible, the selection of songs, everything.
I would say, yes a farewell gig in Sheffield would do nicely indeed!!!
I do think that if they were to do a massive tour, what we lived last year would loose a bit of magic if anyone else actually understands me!

love to all.
I'm thinking similar things legendarygirlfriend, as seeing Pulp at Leeds for the first time was probably one of the highlights of my life, and even now when I think about it I get all happy. To think that anything else they do might not match up to that scares me, as in a tour like you said.
Although I think I'd love to go to one final gig, where I can get all Pulped up with fellow Pulp fans, of which I'm going to have to meet more of
Yeah, I understand that too. Of course I want to see more Pulp, but don't think anything will ever top the excitement of seeing them comeback last year, and to keep that experience as my final memory of seeing them live would very special. But having said that, I'll still be gutted if they announce Coachella is the last one. Given that I don't even possess a passport (or a penny to my name at the moment), it's out of my league.
