If this is 'legally' all he can tell us, I'm guessing a major event would figure in there somewhere... Somewhere controlling the flow of information. Hyde Park seems likely, since announcemens are staggered. Maybe bigger?

Personally, I just don't think Pulp are suited to an open-air daylight gig. Dark and covered works best atmosphere-wise although if it's about finances, I can understand why they'd do festivals again and probably headline some and be second or third on the bill on others.

 Yeah - it'd be something else to have the chance to see them in a small venue. Eyes peeled for any warm-up shows in particular. I'm sensing a few road trips on the horizon. It's been framed as an 'encore' - best savour it while we can...

Praying for a european or a world tour rn

What would be bigger than that? The Olympic Stadium?  

I suspect Glastonbury could be one, but they wont announce headliners for a while.

It'd be nice if they went worldwide. If they can't for whatever reason, I understand, I'm just happy that they'll be playing shows at all.

Maybe this is a bit materialistic of me but I hope Pulp release some snazzy merch. I've always wanted a Pulp shirt without buying a bootleg - official shirts tend to be expensive! Would love the Mis-Shapes sleeve design on a shirt. Might end up making my own 80s Pulp one by block printing (either the My Lighthouse fish, Everybody's Problem design or something from the Freaks era).

EDIT: by 'official' I mean the secondhand ones from the 90s which are usually at least $100. Typically they aren't even in great condition!

Very unexpected and exciting times.

I'd love to know the angle behind the decision this time though, given that the last reunion was based around 'if we don't do it now while we're all still here, we might not get the chance again'.

And Jarvis was making noises towards the end/shortly after that if they did do any further activity, they'd have to have some form of new music behind it to validate it, but then nothing ever came. One of the last things Nick said in that on stage discussion thing they had around the time the movie was released was 'if you love doing something, keep doing it', so I get the idea he was always pushing to do some more.

It's going to be very interesting to know the story why they're back again 10 years on. If they reveal anything that is. I find it pretty cool how they've reformed twice over 2 10 year gaps since the original 2002 split, or hiatus or whatever you want to call it.
