Apparently Pulp are playing Tramlines festival in Sheffield. Their logo was printed on a bottle of Hendersons relish that was distributed to promote the festival ahead of the official lineup announcement on Monday.
We know Nick is a fan of the festival and mentioned at the roughtrade talk they had tried to book then before. On social media there are images of the bottle in the same style as the others with the other acts (which are not that interesting). Its 40,000 capacity so not massive but the Sheffield arena is only 13,600. Plan to get a day ticket
It's the vibe as well. Thousands of coked-up meat heads squeezed into a small grim inner city park, which you can't leave, and which only sells £15 Carling and £15 soggy chips.

Must admit....Friday I'd only be going for Pulp and Baxter Drury. Bit of a shit line up for me. Sunday looks pretty decent.
I Monster are OK. It's Dean Honer, who is old mates with the band (he also did All Seeing I with Jason Buckle of Relaxed Muscle). I Monster did some WWL era remixes.
Honer is also in Moonlandingz
Oracle Sisters are Candida's favourite band - she got them in to do the support slot in Scarborough.
Those £60/70+ day tickets were all nabbed after 2 minutes, so I went for the VIP upgrade (£90+, with fast track entry included). Usually avoid festival shows like the plague but it's Pulp innit.
Fook, missed them as I'm travelling. When are the general sale ones out? I'm sure they'll do more UK gigs a lot closer to me but Sheff is Pulp is Sex City, you've gotta make the effort.
