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.

I can't particularly see it. It feels a bit beneath them

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

Acts announced on Monday. Presale on Thursday, general release on Friday.

The other headliners are Franz Ferdinand and Kasabian. Sigrid, Natasha Bedingfield, The Zutons, The Last Dinner Party among the other acts.

Great to have a UK show confirmed for 2025.

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.

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.

Thought they'd have more women on the bill. Maybe the special guest is Cat Power! Jarv and Mark love her.

Highly unlikely I would go, but Saturday and Sunday look better than Friday...

...I will wait and see if there is anything down south.

John Grant's great! Spiritualised will hopefully be enjoyable too (maybe Mark's choice, given his Spacemen 3 links).

Don't think ticket prices have actually been announced but if last year's anything to go by it'll probably be around £50 for a day pass.

Given we were paying £70-90 in the UK during 2023, £50 for a day pass in 2025 would be excellent value.

Oracle Sisters were fantastic in Scarborough, so I'll be glad to see them again.

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.

Well, who knows how I managed it, but somehow got through straight away and nabbed some Tier 1s. See you there!

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.

Sigh. Why does Pulp always announce their shows just before the holidays when money is tight?

Ended up grabbing a VIP ticket on the monthly payment plan. No idea what I get for the extra 40£ but if it's includes exclusive porta-jons and fewer lager louts, then I suppose it'll be worth it.

Anyways I suspect they'll be announcing more shows after this one sells out. As they do.

Nice little bonus: John Cooper Clarke has been added to the Friday line up. Also John Shuttleworth (Graham Fellows) but sadly no doubt he will clash with Pulp, seen him quite a few times anyway.

No way! I wanted to see him (Shuttleworth) later this month in London UCL but its sold out. And I can't go back to savoury now...

Saw JCC twice last year. First time was great, second time was a car-crash. Pissed as a fart, couldn't read his own poetry. He is great though.

Tramlines have dropped stage details:

tramlines.org.uk/lineup/

Those of us sticking to the Main Stage barrier for dear life will also get to enjoy Spiritualized, Baxter Dury, Oracle Sisters, Femur and Spanish Horses.

 Jarvis mentioned in some interview that his son, Albert (Spanish Horses) and nephew, Felix (Femur) are on their day - apparently Pulp got to select the whole lineup.

 Yeah, that's right. Plus Baxter Dury and Oracle Sisters have both supported Pulp on the recent tours.

Set times for the main stage:

12:15 - 12:45 Spanish Horses
13:15 - 13:45 Femur
14:15 - 14:45 Ed Cosens
15:30 - 16:00 Oracle Sisters
16:45 - 17:30 Baxter Dury
18:30 - 19:30 Spiritualized
20:30 - 22:15 Pulp

Will be travelling back to Manchester by train post-Pulp so that early finish is quite pleasing.

I think this is the right link - that website seems to do some weird stuff with the url showing at the top of the page.

I wonder if Spiritualized are there due to Mark's love of Spacemen 3?

In other news, it's good that Spanish Horses are so unwilling to cash in on their connections to Pulp, by willingly playing this slot that Pulp arranged for them...

For those who've done Tramlines before -

If it's finishing at 10.15, do you think there's a reasonable likelihood of getting off the site and into a taxi in time for the last train back to Leeds at 11.15?

Spanish Horses are Albert's band.

 

Femur are the band Felix is in. I assume Felix is Saskia's kid. That interview is from a couple of years ago and in fairness to them, those comments seem fair enough.

 I have a similar dilemma, Sturdy. Last train to Manc is 23.28 and will no doubt be rammed. Looks like an hour on foot, before you take into account the crowds slowing things down. May struggle to get a taxi or onto a tram if I'm on barrier. Do I start making my way out before Common People (!) or just resign myself to pulling an all nighter and go for the first train of the morning at 3.55am? Decisions...

Luckily there's three of us going together so we're just going to share a taxi back to Leeds. Manchester might be a bit more more of a stretch for that. In your position I'd be tempted to aim for the 2328 Pisshead Express!

You could probably walk it in that time.  It's dead on 3 miles.

I can definitely make it to the station in that time - did 2.2 miles in half an hour at the weekend - it's just getting through and away from the crowds that might cut things fine. Should have booked a hotel when I got the tickets. Ah well.

I'm seeing people say S:SC, Miners Strike (Mark gave me such a look when I asked him last Jan had they considered it for More!), Hymn of the North....these are all 6-9 minute epics. Common People takes 10 mins these days with all the band introductions. Hardcore and Sunrise are another quarter of an hour. FCL has been sound-checked and that's over 6 minutes....and it's not their own gig so no 2hrs plus to do all this in!

This was certainly the case, as Jarvis took the mick out of a few of the band about the leak :)
Was stood at the front next to this lovely couple who came all the way from Frankfurt for the weekend. I felt Pulp were awesome as per usual tonight and the shock of Last Day Of The Miners Strike live was an eye opener. Just what else have they rehearsed!!!

From the video circulating, it looks like Jarvis has finally done summat about that straggly head of hair. Let's be honest it weren't the best and I don't think it was just age. He just needed a proper stylist and some colour.

Not your typical Pulp gig.

I've also never seen this many people on stage before at a Pulp gig. Feel the quality!

Did anyone else notice in the lengthy role call of name checks near the end, Russell got a mention? Does that mean he was there somewhere?

I did spot Magnus Doyle (looking very chipper on the way out of John Shuttleworth) and apparently Tim Allcard was on site too!

Candida's S:SC vocal track sounded pretty loud and isolated from a video clip I've seen! Wonder did they have to go back to the original tapes and take the individual track. I guess AI does a half decent job of isolating tracks and making new "stems" these days...

Were there many kids in attendance. Doyle talking about "other people fcuking" probably should have come with a Parental Advisory sticker upon entering...

Watched out for Ruasell all day, and was hoping for a cameo with I Monster for one of Dean's Frogman songs (which was heightened by all the Frogman posters around the outside of the site!) but nothing to be seen.

I assume he was on site. Everyone else thanked by Jarvis seemed feasibly likely to be there. But then again, I didn't see you either. And you've probably aged less since I last saw you than Russell has!

Jarvis mentioned in the Mojo interview that he hadn't spoken to Russell in a few years, but wanted to do so next time he was in Sheffield. So, maybe...

Also, to get my hopes up, there was a second non-Warhol amp just to the side of Mark onstage. But it may have just been another he was using with different settings or something.

Maybe Russell did the PowerPoint presentation for Miners' Strike? Let's pretend he did. He was planning to do a work in progress of his miners strike musical at Tramlines at some point!

Yeah, quite a few kids. There were two little girls just in front of us with their parents having a great time. Did occur to me that SSC wasn't the most appropriate thing to be bopping around on Dad's shoulders to, but in fairness it is, well, a bop. The voiceover didn't seem especially loud from where I was sitting, maybe a placement thing. Loved the intro with Jarvis pretending to guess where everyone on the front row was from. "Norton... Frecheville... Badger... No?" etc.

I was quite a long way back and largely chairbound, no barrier madness for me. Did bump into Paul Mills just before they came on though which was nice. His first Pulp gig since 1991!

It would be lovely to see Russell make a cameo but I really, really can't see it happening at this point. Then again, as previously noted, I am persistently wrong about this stuff...

Miners Strike:

Really like how they played it as if it was edited in length (if not theme!) for radio. Have the catchy vocal refrain be the climax. Not saying it had single potential, but a sub-5-minute version like this pushed to the alternative/arty radio programmes at the time (did 6Music exist in 2002?) might have given Hits a boost and reminded folk that Pulp were pop and intelligent to the end.

From the video circulating, it looks like Jarvis has finally done summat about that straggly head of hair. Let's be honest it weren't the best and I don't think it was just age. He just needed a proper stylist and some colour.

 Oh no! And I was finally congratulating myself as having achieved a Pulp hairstyle after so very many years! 

To be fair, I had long suspected my hair was crap. But seeing it on a stage let me forget that for a while. Trouble is, hairdressers no longer get my cultural references. Last time I asked for a Blonde on Blonde, but left looking more like Noel Edmonds than peak Dylan.

Sounds like a fantastic night for all you lucky Tramliners

Ha! His hair had returned to being more dishevelled between Spike Island and Miners Strike, by the looks!

Have also seen a video of Spike Island and there's loads of young 'uns singing along. Really gladdens the heart that JC's quirky and observational wordsmithery in 2025 is still landing amongst newcomers.

 I got Catcliffe. Trying not to take it personally.

 It was a bit strange seeing someone in their late teens (at a guess) singing along to Grown Ups with total relish and abandon, belting out "and you stress about wrinkles instead of acne!". It was really lovely but I just wonder what someone with their whole life ahead of them is getting out of these rueful reflections from a man in late middle age.

 

Another nice audience moment (cos of my vantage point, lots of my memories of this gig are from the audience!). During Common People, three teenage girls rushed forward in front of us and went absolutely nuts, yelling "pretend you never went to school!" particularly emphatically. I guess they were celebrating the end of their GCSEs in style, just like I was at the Heineken Festival 30 years (and three days) beforehand.

It was great, I wasn't too near the front (couldn't face being squashed and shoved about as that had been one thing difficult about Manchester) but there were people of all ages getting really into it. Pulp t-shirts everywhere. Some near me even seemed to be singing along to Last Day of the Miners' Strike, particularly 'the North is rising' bit, which was lovely to see. Quite a few filtered off during A Sunset, however (though with the trickiness of so many people leaving the site and huge queues for the trams, I don't 100% blame them).

Obv I'm a huge fan of OU but tbh think Mis-shapes went down far better for the crowd. Was great to get S:SC too. Disappointed no Hymn of the North (and some of my other More favourites like Background Noise though knew not to expect it) but you can't have everything.

OU is great but Mis-Shapes was electric last night. Definitely felt like the right choice.

Can confirm that the shout out to Russell last night was to someone involved in the touring arrangements. Sadly!

According to a setlist I saw online, I think

so (annoyingly as they are both ace).

Last Day of the Miner's Strike was perfect. Just perfect. Sex City too.

We lost OU and The Fear and Acrylic Afternoons and Something Changed. That's some really heavy losses.

 

But, tbh, the novelty of Miner's Strike and then my all time favourite in S:SC did more than make up for it (especially as I'd already seen the others twice this year)

 

Not a great set for the casual fans or barely fans though...

Seeing a couple of comments on FB from casuals about it being boring, Jarvis talking too much and they'd never seen so many people leave early.

Silly tw@ts would likely have missed some of the more recognisable songs at the end of the set but I do think that doing Miners AND SSC was pretty bold for a crowd where 80% wouldn't have heard either song before and it would have taken up 15 minutes of the show. And Slow Jam is a slow burner so that may have been a write-off for many too.

If in doubt, just leave all the less obvious ones for a small indoor tour for us lot! Is there a precedent for an artist to do a tour of deep cuts and promote it as such?

It's hard to get the balance but at these festivals they are leaving upbeat/recognisable material like Mile End, Pink Glove, Lipgloss, Underwear, Razzmatazz, Help The Aged, Party Hard and (less upbeat but more familiar) A Little Soul behind. Something Changed is a perennial and I'm surprised that's been omitted recently. Personally even though it's possibly my favourite Pulp song, l could live without hearing it in concert again but the way they've performed it this summer with the core-four has been so touching. And people really love it.

Thinking of A Little Soul, have Pulp actually performed it since Mack ****er died? I'm reminded of Mark's comment about Jarvis wary of playing The Fear before as it reminds him of a dark time. Maybe ALS is similar - it did get a decent look-in in 2012.

I think Suede did those concerts where they played full albums then associated deep cuts and it was advertised like that? Im with you but just hope this doesnt put them off bringing SSC and LDOTMS out againespecially at a concert Im at.

I really, really hope the band ignore any such Facebook comments.

I think people who moan when a band chooses to, for example, play their new album they've just released, are a bit silly.

Miner's Strike was absolutely necessary and vital given the occasion and it will have resonated with so many people, including those in attendance who aren't really Pulp fans. Sex City got the crowd going, and I was really surprised by how loud the shout of "I'm here!" was from behind me. If there's one time when Pulp can push the boat out, surely it's now?

And I mean - Spike Island and Got to Have Love are hits enough, Tina's their latest single, then they had Sorted, Disco 2000, Hardcore, Sunrise, First Time, Mis-Shapes, Babies, Common People. That's more hits than fans got last time Pulp toured a new album in 2001.

I was thinking exactly that. They dropped "Common People" in 2001/2 meaning that the only big hits were "Sorted For Es and Wizz", "Something Changed" and the occasional "Help the Aged". All relatively slow songs. 

 

I'm quite balanced around setlist choices. On one hand, I'd be quite happy if they never played "Babies", "Do You Remember the First Time?" or "Sorted" ever again but I understand that some hits are necessary. I would love a full album(s), B-sides or rarities set but these would be more suitable for a smaller audience. 

 

Anyway, "Sheffield: Sex City" and "Last Day of the Miners Strike" were great choices. We're edging closer to my ultimate dream of "Deep Fried in Kelvin". Can't see it happening though.

It wasn't the most casual friendly set, but it wasn't a very casual friendly day either - especially the main stage line-up. Surprising to me as Tramlines is a casual festival (nothing wrong with that - it is what it is) and a lot of people go for the weekend regardless of who is on (Stalking some of the people who have commented negatively on FB they all seem to have enjoyed day 2 much more. Day 2 lineup is much more what I'd expect to see at Tramlines).

There were a few heading back from the front as the set went on but certainly no mass desertion - it felt like any other festival headliner i've seen in that regard.

The set was GREAT - I've not been able to make the tour so it was a nice surprise to hear so much of the new stuff - and Last Day Of the Miners Strike was a massive bonus. Standing just ahead of FOH, the overall sound quality wasn't great at the start but it either got sorted or I stopped noticing as I got into it. I've heard it was fine further forward and towards the back.

Boooooo. Down with Imposter Russell!

 

@Eamonn The Facebook moaners must be representative of a very small minority. I was miles back so you'd think I'd have been surrounded by casuals, but I didn't notice anyone who wasn't into it.

 

By the way - bit niche, but a load of the photos during SSC (the Mars surface ones and the others that had gridlines around them) were taken from a book called A New Refutation of the Viking 4 mission by Peter Mitchell: https://rrbphotobooks.com/products/0301015000201?srsltid=AfmBOoo0HqhrPbSc7hWECI_DYkpEzFRxIJMqjFePcI9j6VOaKtnZQPmc. I really like Mitchell's photos - he mainly works in Leeds but he's done a few Sheffield and London photos too. Recommended if you're into still lifes of old urban buildings!

Wow. I'm back in! Been locked put of this place for a few years (I flounced after i'd bad mouthed Russell S, let's move on though eh) Tramlines was excellent and dare I say the best iteration of the band (obviously that's not a reflection on Steve who is the reason I picked up a bass from which fabulous sound does flow - perception though) but yeah incredible.

RE Miners strike...I saw Jarvis don the acoustic and figured it was Something Changed time and whilst it's a great song... after a day on the sauce paced with water, it was toilet time but once revealed there was no way I was going to miss that.

Sang along to most of the set incredible.

Oh for those who reakon that the Elysium photo leak was the reason for switching the set round, surely it's more plausable that it was a ruse from the band (allowing Jarv's gotcha moment) There's no way the visuals, sound set up, having the right guitar ready etc... would all be messed around with for a hometown headline show.

BBC One's Look North news (Yorkshire region) covered the opening day of Tramlines on Friday, interviewing Nick (pre-recorded via Zoom), Candida and Oracle Sisters (at the festival).

Can only dream of hearing SSC and Miner's Strike live. Really special i thought they'd break out HON at this one. That gives me goosebumps that. SSC is really epic. I'd particularly love to hear that live. Love how they're surprising people with different songs at different gigs. I wonder is there scope for a smallish tour of small venues for deeper cuts next year. I wouldn't even suggest it or dream of it only Mark mentioned about more gigs in 2026. Or what kind of touring do people reckon that'll entail because they'll have done America now in Sept.

 This is my guess too. After all the speculation, they wanted to confirm Sex City but still hide the main surprise from us ;)

Yeah, Tramlines was an amazing performance. All the images used during Miners Strike came from this book:

www.inlovingmemoryofwork.com/

I saw those comments about "Jarvis lost the crowd early on" is bollocks from where I was near the front. I was surrounded by teenagers going mental which put a massive smile on my face.

I love Spititualized but, Shine A Light excepted, that was not a set for a casual festival audience.

 Spiritualized gave me a headache. It was just loud without enough shape to it, and it all blended together. Impressive I suppose.

F**k me, Miner's Strike gives me goosebumps even on the phone recorded video!

It's one of them tunes that just fell under the wayside with it being on the Hits record, but I've always deeply enjoyed it - just a really nice slow burner with a lot of nice sound design going on throughout.

It's one that I never thought we'd hear live, which is really interesting that they decided to dip into the back catalogue and re-learn it for it's live debut!

They really do keep us guessing with this band reunion cycle - and I love it.

Tramlines was great, I went on my own but bumped into an old workmate so hung out with them until SSC came on. Up till then we were near townies who just yapped through everything and I had to hear it properly so went a wee bit further down.
Later there was one prick who was taking the piss out of someone really getting into Tina, I turned round and said to him 'don't worry mate, common people will be on for you soon enough'

It was the first time in ages I've had to rely on screens to see what's going on. Did you guys nearer the front feel they were having a good time like they seem to have been having this tour?
