If that's meant to be a tease that Pulp will be playing the Glade area at Glastonbury, looking at the line-up for those stages they're a very odd fit.

 You are talking about the band that headlined the Homelands festival and smashed it. 

This is a bit disappointing so far right ? They promised big stuff and nothing is coming bar the tour. Maybe the passing of Steve changed the plan. That would be understandable.

But there is so much to do, so many bands are releasing stuff and Pulp is sitting on golden material from the 90s, go figure !

Oooh... fascinating. So he's said there is big news coming soon.

So the options are:
New single
An album
World tour
A famous festival - I shan't name it at fear of being deemed an obsessive on this here forum of obsessives...
Leadmill warmup gig (only one possible date avail and it would proceed 'Abba night' so unlikely)
New band member
Other.

My money is on world tour.

Was about to begrudgingly agree with you Andy but then I read Nick's latest tweet (Sun May 21st) !!

ahah, right on time i was 

 

Could it be that the big announcement he teased few days ago was delayed because of Blur ? 

 

Well i hope for some kind of material to be honest. My wish is the release of a box set with rarities and the WLL demos. A new album is unlikely and only one new song wouldn't feel that big to be honest. 

 

Obviously a bigger tour is coming, would it be that Big of a news ? No. I mean... BOX SET IT HAS TO BE 

though following-up Hits with a compilation called Misses would be hilarious, full of songs that would never chart but that are the most fabulous, Pulpy tracks out there, like Acrylic Afternoons, I Spy, Wicker Man, etc

But not Sex City. Thats OURS

I'd call it deadwood ... In-fitting with the band name

Enough lists (!), I wonder when this news is going to be announced - before they kick things off on Friday?

Shit, sorry! Getting carried away here...

Is support confirmed for the Bridlington gig? The announcement could be a surprise support act, or one for their actual shows... it could be something they drop before the gig on Friday. 

Also, the day after Bridlington could be a good day if they want to drop an announcement, they'd already be trending/people excited from the day before.

Here's hoping for a new release...there's got to be something left kicking around in the archives. Did they record anything fresh in 2012? Was it just After You they re-recorded? Pulp often like to go back and revisit old stuff... hence the fact they're playing Bridlington and Finsbury...

Re 2012, they did bugger-all press and never said much about After You when promoting Life, Death and Safeways in 2014. I could never find any quotes from James Murphy on the session which is a shame as I wonder what his thoughts were on the collaboration.
