Britpop trailblazers Pulp have been announced as the headline act for Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations.

Led by frontman Jarvis Cocker, the Sheffield band will bring in the bells against a backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.

It follows a hugely successful reunion and a summer tour which included an unforgettable set at TRNSMT in Glasgow.

Cocker said: "When your grandkids ask 'Do you remember the first time Pulp played Edinburgh's Hogmanay?' What will your answer be?"

He added: "Come along and start 2024 in the very best way possible. Oh yes."

Furthermore, as the official Pulp page states - "it's the last show of 2023, and the first of 2024."

Oh god. I genuinely don't know how to feel about this.

Last night, Nick - who was absolutely wonderful, by the way - mentioned a special Pulp concert he couldn't say anything about. I immediately thought Ooh, they might be doing a special Christmas show for the fans. I could get to hear Lipgloss and Wickerman and all of that lovely stuff.

Now? They are playing right on my doorstep. But it's £75 and I'm a poor student, and the setlist is unlikely to differ from those they played earlier this year (if it does it'll be because they removed songs from the set rather than added new ones). And for Hogmanay I'd probably have my own plans with my partner. I'd obviously love to see Pulp again - I mean, c'mon - but I'm not actually sure it makes much sense to... even though I still bloody want to... aaaaaah... decisions, decisions.

wonder will they do a tour similar to 2012 then?
I love the idea of a NYE show.
I feel like the devil on your shoulder here, lipglossed, but I say go because if it's close by then you'd probably have no or limited travel costs. That's one plus. The other plus is it'll be another great memory when you're older and that's what life's about. You've mentioned the downside so I'm not mentioning that ;)

They can't just do a normal Scottish show can they? Suspect that this could be Scotland 'covered' for this entire reunion....

 Ahh. You make a very good point indeed. It's just... I'm gonna feel like a spare part in the crowd if the other half decides they'd rather do something else that night... so it kind of depends on how they feel... aaaaaah, decisions, decisions.

Has anyone been to anyone's Hogmanay gig in Princes Street Gardens before? Is the the experience any good, i.e. how comfortable is it, ease of aquiring booze, do people have good mannners, etc etc etc.

Also, is it easy to smuggle booze in. Do they touch up your bum on the way in etc.

Would love to go but already zero chance of getting a decent priced hotel in central Edinburgh on New Year's Eve, plus the inevitable fun and games with public transport.

 Probably Common People at midnight, you'd think. Although imagine!

I have just had a look and you are absolutely right. I was tempted with this because it only takes about 3 hours on the train from Blackpool but I don't think I can justify paying over £300 for a hotel for one night. Also, I don't know anything about public transport in Edinburgh but I'd imagine that the buses, trams or whatever run an extremely limited service after midnight on New Year's Eve so staying further afield would be tricky.

If anyone from Pulp is reading this, then, it's New Years' Eve - time to Party Hard, as we Countdown to a new year. And 1 January is a Monday Morning! So there you go - lots of as-yet-unplayed songs that are thematically appropriate. We all want to hear more tunez! Variety is the spice of life, etc etc.

That would be great but imagine the "10, 9, 8..." bit of "This House is Condemned" with Russell singing? Of course, it's never going to happen.

Ticket obtained! You had to refresh the link at 10am.

Unfortunately, you can't resell, exchange or refund them. And you have to choose a fixed gate to enter through.

Tempted but...accomm + train costs + having to drag the other half along who already came-with to Hammersmith...

If I knew they were going to play a handful of different songs, I think I'd find it hard to resist. Having said that, it's a one-off type of event that they'll never do again. And it's not gonna piss rain...right?

Ugh...can't even...

I have decided to go. Just seemed like too good an opportunity with the fireworks and everything. And Edinburgh is my favourite city anyway, so any excuse to go.

 

All told its going to set me back around £600 - mostly because of the hotel. I took into account that if I go anywhere in London on NYE its going to set me back at least £150 anyway, and it'll probably be shite.

 

You could do a lot cheaper if you stay at a hostel or you are hardcore enough to stay up til sunrise.  I'm too old for that and lawd knows what the weather will be like. 

 

 Just hoping there are no train strikes.

I mean, I managed to stay out all night in Bridlington. But that was like a Pulp takeover.

 Sadly, my sofa's already been snapped up. But Eamonn, if you're tempted, you should think about it...

Pulp at Hogmanay, eh?
