Ooh, most of the new album to be heard before it comes out? I know a lot of it has already but these versions will be a lot closer to the finished product.

I didn't get an email confirming balot entry, did anyone else? Maybe it just doesn't email you.

It'll be from BBC Shows and Tours, titled "Confirmation of your application for BBC tickets". Double check your spam/junk folders just incase.

I applied for two so will have a spare to share if successful. Hopefully between us all we may be able to win enough tickets to ensure as many as possible of us can be there!

Yeah, there was a half hour delay with the email.

Do these shows tend to get broadcast in full or is it something we'll be waiting for on the "More" deluxe edition in 2045?!

It came through after an hour.

They usually go up on iPlayer for a little bit and some clips sit on youtube, that's what happened to Blur last year.

Ah yes, I watched that. Think they screened the whole thing. Blur might have gone through their whole new Darren album, would need to check that.

I kinda hope Pulp don't play the 3 unheard songs (Tina, Grown-Ups, Eclipse) as it means when More comes out, the studio versions won't be the first time we've heard those songs.

Hearing a song live first before the studio version can be shit if you don't like the album one as much (kinda ruined some of Further Complications for me). So I might just skip over those songs if they perform them or if I'm lucky to get tickets, wear noise-cancellation ear buds....yeah, right. But you know what I'm saying.

The experienced pros like Sturdy, if i recall correctly him saying, had an anti-climactic feeling when Different Class came out cos between the live gigs and Peel previewing tracks in advance, very little was new-new. And you don't want that to be your memory of experiencing the best album of the decade...

So I wasn't concentrating very well when I posted earlier, Nick Grimshaw was still talking while I was typing. It looks like from this they will record two different sessions, one for Radio 2 that sounds like it will be hits and one for Radio 6 that is supposedly less mainstream. Though going by Lauren Laverne's programme last week, she described Underwear as a deep cut and despite encouraging listeners to suggest more obscure tracks, didn't stray beyond HnH and DC in her actual selection. 

Im delighted that the band have agreed to give the BBC two contrasting sets, one for Radio 2 appealing to musical mainstream audiences and another for 6 Music whose listeners tastes lie beyond the mainstream.

That's the same as the Cure did last year.  They also did the 6 Music one in black and white, which was a nice touch.

From welovepulp Instagram. It's not entirely clear to me whether the audience for the performance will only get the Radio 2 part of the session or both parts.

 

"The BBC are getting a double dose of Pulp next month & you could be part of it.

For Radio 2 In Concert, we will perform for a small audience of lucky fans at the BBC Radio Theatre on Wednesday 7 May 2025. Tickets will be allocated via a ballot which is open for registration until 22 April. [linkinbio]

The gig and a new interview will be broadcast on @jowhileys show on Radio 2 and BBC Sounds (7-9pm) on 29 May 2025. The next day, The @OfficialScottMills Breakfast Show (6.30-9.30am) on @BBCR2 will also feature exclusive tracks from the recording.

And on @BBCRadio6Music and @BBCSounds, 6 Music Session: Pulp Live will be broadcast in Nick Grimshaws show also on 29 May (7-10am), alongside an interview between @NickGrimshawOfficial and the band.

The 6 Music performance will also be available in vision on @bbciplayer from 29 May & on demand for 30 days. Radio 2 in Concert will also be broadcast on BBC Two in June & available on BBC iPlayer soon after. "

I understood it as the 6Music Session being separate. No dirty fans allowed in for that, the studio is too small anyways.

So the Radio 2 one will be a condensed festival/hits set rather than a preview of the new record?

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the BBC to notify people if they've been successful? We would need to make travel plans as soon as possible if lucky.

 6. Successful applicants will be sent a pair of e-tickets from Wednesday 23 April. If you do not receive e-tickets, your application has not been successful. No correspondence will be entered into. Well keep you on the waiting list in case more tickets become available. We're often able to send out small numbers of extra tickets if other applicants receive tickets but are unable to use them.

What's the capacity? I imagine they'll have thousands of entries so individual chances are pretty low.

It holds 550 according to a quick Google search. I will certainly consider myself very lucky if I get anywhere near it (those in the Greater London area obviously have a better chance than us lot up North). Shame it's not first come first served, as I was probably signed up in a minute, haha.

 it's been tough, but I'm doing this for More. All I've kept away from the live stuff, unless it's stuff I've heard in person - like Hymn, or Slow Jam which Jarv Is played when I saw them.

Fair play, I don't think you're gonna be disappointed. As good as the new songs have been live, I don't think they'll sound inferior on the album.

From the Youtube uploads, I've probably rationed myself to: 5-10 plays of My Sex/Got To Have Love/Farmers Market; 10-20 of Background Noise and...maybe 50-ish of both Slow Jam & Hymn of the North! Was so relieved that the latter two made the cut as I love them very much.

Yeah. It wasn't like DC was disappointing as a result of that, it still felt like an Event because, you know, Pulp, 1995, all that. And I don't remember comparing anything unfavourably to live versions or anything. But I think the only song I'd not heard at all in any form was Something Changed, so there weren't many surprises.

Having said that, the first time I heard Feelingcalled and I Spy will have been on the Peel Acres show, and as far as I recall I was far more excited about hearing the 1981 Peel session. That's probably very much a me problem though...

Yeah...you'd choose a hitherto undiscovered 1985 session over a triple CD of 1999-2000 demos, any day of the week, amirite?!

 Chances of getting a ticket are pretty slim.  Have asked everyone I know and still think it's unlikely.  Not sure my mother will be pleased if she gets the pair biggrin

 

PS - no one I knew got any for blur when that happened, but I have got a couple of events in the last decade or so.

I'm assuming 'Tina' will be some form of a tribute to Tina Turner, in similar sense to Seductive Barry and Bob Lind being homage to their namesakes.

 

After all Jarvis did sing Private Dancer back in October, right around the time they were recording in Walthamstow. So we know he was in a Tina-mood.

 

But will he go for 60s or 80s era Tina?

Plot twist, Tina is Paula with just the name changed.
