Carnt bleedin' wait. Fingers crossed that they're their own support. Maybe put *Spoilers* in the thread title if we're going to be discussing the gig here.
I'm not even going to this gig and I'm nervous as hell. Who's playing bass? Do they have a replacement violinist for Russel or have the songs been rearranged a la Common People? I'm very eager to read about the set list. Hope you all have a truly brilliant time.

Same here. Looking forward to seeing what everyone has to say and any photos too. Enjoy people
I wonder if...they're going to bring the key down in some of the songs. Jarvis said in the 6Music interview with Lauren in November that after listening back to the old songs, he was surprised at how high some of them were and he's never been blessed with the broadest range.
Giles Acrylic suggested some of Jarv Is... band-members being involved which sounds logical.
Have a great time all the luckies who are going tonight. Looking forward to following set lists and reports. Speculating before my nights come round is a delicious part of the fun.
Just listening to Freaks as I read this - if the range is a worry for Jarvis then theres a rich seam to be mined there. I hope they delve that far back if playing rarities. They didnt go earlier than Separations last time did they, Lighthouses aside? (So thrilled to be there for that)
Well they went back to LA once, and also did one verse of Master Of The Universe in Italy for shits and giggles (was at that gig and thought I was hallucinating!).
Oh and they played Dogs Are Everywhere in Romania, purely because Bucharest was the stray-canine capital of the world according to Branson Cocker!

Little Girl With Blue Eyes at Sheffield Arena on the 2012 tour. Jarvis seemed so embarrassed singing those old songs though. I seem to remember him asking permission and kinda apologising for delving that far back.

Fingers crossed for "a dead seaside town" Though it's looking rather lovely by the beach in the sun

Hello all! Reporting from the front line, quite literally. There was a girl at the very front of the queue who arrived at 5.30am! Massive respect.
We got a sneak peek at the setlist earlier but obviously won't spoil anything here beforehand. Think it'll make a lot of people happy though. Especially the beginning of the second encore. Enjoy!
SUPPORT = Jennifer Reid. From Rochdale. Bloody great. Sings unaccompanied, witty songs in Lancashire dialect.
This is a quintessentially Pulp choice. Really accomplished, very warmly received - people stomping and clapping along. Glad they're chosen to highlight her she's great.
Wireless mic, by the way...
