According to a Live 105 DJ...

"Fresh after playing PULP today on the air I'm very excited to report that they'll be playing SF on April 17! #Jarvisrules"

"i had to remove my post about the PULP SF show, heh. more details on Monday!!!"

Well, I'm beginning to think that the 'Love of Being in Pulp Again' is winning out over 'It'd Be Nice To Have A Bit of Cash' aspect of the reformation. I can't imagine playing the States is too financially viable, so it'd be nice to assume for doing it for the love of doing it.

Hurrah, if so!

Yeah the festivals were clearly for the money, but probably because they had plans in mind, so that's a good thing. I hope for every us and canadian fans that they will tour extensively there, and then Europe and then maybe, hopefully, a new record.

I saw Jarvis play the Fillmore in SF a couple days after playing coachella in '07.  I looking at their schedule and the 17th is vacant right now so maybe they would play there?  After playing SF he came up here to Seattle and played two days later.  Hopefully they'll play both cities again.

The Fillmore updated the dates and M83 are playing two nights there back to back... that'd be very cool if Pulp did!  With all these Coachella bands playing west coast tour dates of their own, I hope none of the tickets I bought already overlap with Pulp's dates.

I noticed that band M83 is playing the Fillmore on the 22nd.  Are they more popular here in America then Pulp? I've never heard of them.  But I think they are one of the upper billed Coachella bands along with pulp.  But wherever they play it will be amazing i'm sure I hope they do announce something monday so I can book everything to go.  The anxiety is killing me.  Been waiting since around '94 to see them live!

M83 are what passes for 'fairly huge' in indie circles these days. Pitchfork song of the year and all that.
They would be fairly OK if the singer hadn't had his voice mixed to sound like late 80s Sting.

Before The Dawn Heals Us by M83 is a fantastic album, one of my all time favourites. Some the newer stuff is pretty terrible though. that might mainly be because of the vocals.

 I can hardly complain having been in the front row for 2 out of 3 concerts. I agree if you see them, you really have to be standing! I was lucky finding a ticket for the second night at Brixton at all, and it was still brilliant but nothing can compare to the 31st when I was standing. 

*edit: If this is possible. If not, and I'm sure Sarah will agree with me, Pulp is still Pulp and they were still bloody marvellous from where we were sitting

Bort, looks like you were right. I thought the Warfield is where I saw Good Bad Queen play but I don't think it is. Would a floor ticket be the best place you think?

Do you really think it will sell out that fast?  I noticed that not many of the shows there are sold out.  Now i'm worried.  Judging by the tweets could it have been 30 min. not 30 seconds?  I was looking how these Tickets to Refused are on stubhub for allot of money already.  I hope I don't have to resort to that, I think that's lame.

If you want to wait in line all day to be up front, get floor. If you want to have a guaranteed spot and arrive at your leisure, get balcony.

I've never been to the Warfield and haven't been to SF since 1997.

But Bort, surely you want to be in the best place possible, to be as close to the band as possible to see all the little, tiny, stupid details that make a gig so special? You've been crying out for them to visit you...I thought you'd queue all night for the best spot!

At Brixton we turned up at 11 or 12 in the morning each day...but my God was it worth it...! We even flogged our seated tickets and paid a small fortune on top of that to get standing for the second night. Had it not happened, Jarvis wouldn't have held my hand whilst singing Sheffield: Sex City.

Seriously, sod the balcony and bloody well Get In There!!

Ha, I could see that from the balcony and was completely gutted since it was exactly where I was standing the night before! (The audience weren't very good at saying 'I'm here' were they?)

That's a good point Bort.  I'm 6'4" so i'm sure i'll be able to see from anywhere on the floor.  Though even w/ a seat all it takes is one person to stand up then everyone ends up needing to stand up so they can see better anyways... ah the dilema.

You can't sit for Pulp! They're one of the most exciting live bands out there! Seriously...get in the crowd and just enjoy yourself! It's not about observing, it's the taking part! If you're gonna sit there, you might as well be watching 'The Park is Mine' at home.

I had to have a seated ticket for Blur many moons ago. Can barely remember the gig as a result. I'd seen them the month before at a festival and got a little bruised in the crowd, but I know which was the more memorable gig.

Jazza, sorry to hear you were stuck up there! We just considered that, y'know, we'd paid to go to London, paid for accomodation, and we thought we'd always regret it if 'something amazing' happening and we were stuck in the seats.

I was several rows back at Hyde Park, which I think contributes to it being by far the least enjoyable of the four 2011 Pulp gigs I saw.

Oi, some of us can't afford to stand in the pit you know. I didn't get paid until the Friday the tickets came out, and by that time all the standing tickets were gone.

What I meant was, when the tickets came out Wednesday I couldn't afford them. I got paid the Friday, but by then the only tickets left were seated.

Do people really stay seated in the seat section? I've never been to a concert where people in the seats actually stayed seated.
