Suede were never as popular as Pulp were at their highest point in 95/6 so Suede setlists always tend to be more interesting (plus they released an excellent b sides album in Sci-Fi Lullabies). I often think Pulp are too conservative, and predictable, in their setlist choices. Hope they prove me wrong though.

Yeah Suede come back is really for the die hard fans, cant see regular people going to see them. For Pulp, it's different, they will appeal to a wider audience, people that will go to their gigs only because it's Pulp, probably not knowing half of their songs.

Like the man who was disappointed by the Brixton gig because they didn't play anything he wanted to hear.

This is the link they put on Twitter. If you follow it, there is a not-yet-active hidden page on Seeticket:

http://www2.seetickets.com/tct/pulp

There was another tweet after the first one explaining it will become active at whatever time it said, 9 on Wednesday was it.

"pulp2011: Just waking up & realising what year it is ! Hang in there ... Presale link is not live now but should work on Wednesday morning."

I've only seen this on twitter though, not from the email list.

Without Russell, that'll be the likes of OU out the window.

That's what worries me about the new gigs. I love all eras of Pulp but I saw all the later material done plenty back in the day! I want to hear stuff like OU and Countdown

Suede are putting out a DVD/CD combo package of that gig in a fancy book for £40 on the second anniversary next month.

Paola - highly doubtful unfortunately!

Even without Russell I doubt they will ditch all the '92-'94 period stuff that they rehearsed for last year's shows.

Considering the only propperly recorded thing from last year was Reading, & the TCT gigs are recorded...I doubt they'd want the only two sets of footage to be too similar.
I don't think it'll be that DC-heavy at all.

It's that extra dimension that Russell's violin adds though, that's what'll be missing.

Of course, but what can you do? It's up to him and he's his own man.

Oh, of course and I'd still go and see Pulp play if they were close to me. I've always got my memories of the times I saw them with Russell.

Bye Bye hopes of hearing This house Is Condemned then I suppose. The Royal Albert Hall is really fancy isn't it - any idea of capacity / if it will be standing or sitting?

Well I've been to other TCT shows and the stalls is standing and circle and is usually seated.

The band will play whatever they want, which will probably be mostly hits like previously. The fact it's a charity show doesn't mean there will be a certain type of fan there, it will be pretty much like the people at Brixton I'm sure (those who found out in time and got up early enough to buy tickets.) If it was a competition winners only show, or where they auctioned tickets, that would be different...

How much will standing tickets cost, do we think?

It says £25 here, no indication of different classes of ticket:

http://www.teenagecancertrust.org/what-we-do/royal-albert-hall/

So does this sound more like an all-seater, more sedate affair. I partly ask as my 9 year old daughter might be quite up for Jessie J the next day if it sounds suitably restrained. Also, though this is complete heresy to any proper music lover, as a fairly short person myself who gets panic attacks in crowds, the thought of being able to sit in a seat and still see what's happening, not having to choose between moshing (no chance) and being miles away behind tall people, is rather appealing.

I'm almost 100% sure the downstairs will be standing. It's rock/pop music and it's a charity gig- they can get more people in if they have standing, so why wouldn't they? You can see really well from the seats in the upper levels of the Albert Hall, mind.

Yeah, downstairs will be standing indeed. If I recall correctly, I paid about 30 quid for a downstairs ticket two years ago for Arctic Monkeys.

PS: For those who care, Paul McCartney has also been added to the line-up. Unique chance to see the man in such a setting.

I'd only wanna see Macca if he was touring as Wings.

It'll be a great gig to see them in, providing the sound is right. Saw Mozza there, sat at the back, with a great view. Saw Mogwai stood at the front and they were let down by poor sound, till we went up to the balcony for the encore and it sounded loud as hell

Even without Russell, I'm doubly excited.
Pulp are the only band who could drag me back to the snooty Albert Hall, at the Suede one I really felt the staff were talking down to me lol.
Have to admit I kissed the TCT wristband I got at the Suede gig on hearing this news tho'!
This will be my ninth Pulp gig I think...

I would have liked to have gone down to see Macca as well but I am feeling pretty skint and can't justify another costly trip to London. Might sit this out and probably regret it! It's about time they came to me. For The amount of times I've travelled for them now- it'd only be good manners for them to play in my front room

I wonder if we'll get Last Day Of The Miner's Strike at last, the 'new' (2001-2) Common People & plenty of rarities a la Forest Tour, Eden & Auto?
The version of FEELINGCALLEDLOVE they opened with at Reading '01 was particularly good too. & I'd LOVE to hear Help The Aged, Birds In Your Garden & Minnie again.
Just trying to be positive about Russell's non-involvment, people!
