LET'S GO!! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! Hopefully a national tour will happen too but hey, if I need to go to Adelaide for my birthday to see a free Pulp show then so be it!
Hopefully also some Mark book signing / talks at some of our lovely book shops. Be happy to provide a list... lols. I'm at work and I cant concentrate ... big week this week as we're also seeing Oasis. And I have 2 x Pulp shirts packed to wear for their gigs. Also I love how the poster looks like Netflix. Time for Jarvis to stock up on Cherry Ripes!!!

I will if no closer shows are announced. I've waited fifteen years to see 'em live so a trip to Adelaide sounds like a nice and pleasant way to do it! Somebody in this reddit thread has heard that there's a show happening at the Sydney Opera House forecourt which would be iconic. Imagine the band going all out to Common People with that skyline behind them!

Tickets go on general sale this Friday (7 Nov), but if you're on Pulp's mailing list you can take part in a pre-sale on Wednesday (5 Nov) from 9am local time.
Make sure you are signed up via https://welovepulp.info before the end of Tuesday this week.
The release of these Australia dates could be quite telling of what is to come.
I say this because Mark revealed the following bits of information at his Manchester 'in conversation'. Do correct me if I misheard but I'm fairly he sure he said...
1. We should probably play Australia / New Zealand this year really
2. It would be also nice to play some countries we have never played in.
3. We probably have to draw everything to a close after that, we're not thinking about another album and can't keep touring the same stuff.
4. If we do, we should probably play a few final, final farewell gigs in the UK in 2026.
He said it as though they were all just him speculating and completely just guesswork.
But with the Australian/ NZ dates coming to fruition so soon after he speculated on them, I wonder if everything in this list is perhaps more certain than he was letting on.
He did also say that there werent any new songs currently being written, and if they were to carry on, then they will have to start writing during the tour. With the gap coming up, its certainly possible for new material to be written. I just cannot see getting signed to Rough Trade would be a one album deal.
I'm very tempted to double dip on the Brisbane and Adelaide shows. I figure this'll be my only chance to see 'em live so might as well do it twice y'know.

Final gigs... then i'm cancelling all my plans. Saving money for now.
Well, they can't play everywhere, can they? I don't think that the petition is going to make them change their minds 3 months before the tour kicks off.
In terms of future dates for 2026, I think that smaller UK venues would work well, similar to what they did in October 1995. The chances are "More" will be a year old before it starts so without any new material, they are unlikely to sell tickets on the same scale as they did this year and last.

I'd LOVE to see them in a smaller venue, but from what Mark said about Jarvis' attitude to the scale of the shows, and his ominous comments about bringing it to an end, it wouldn't seem likely. The reaction to More, and the shows etc. must have been really gratifying to the band, and it would seem anticlimactic to then go smaller again. With the Australian tour, they've covered most of the world since the start of 2025, only missing Mexico & S. American dates (and Japanese dates were pre-More), so maybe there's not much More to do.
From Jarvis' interview with Zan Rowe, sounds like he wants to carry on with Pulp, but Candida sounds ambivalent, and Mark too. Be nice to hear from Nick. Can't see Jarvis ever stopping either way, and I'd like to have another JARV IS record, and a tour on the scale of those 2021 shows (which I chickened out of due to Covid restrictions).
An absolute dream that they're playing a Brisbane show. We came back from the oasis juggernaught yesterday and I squinted as I looked at the poster and there it was a Brisbane show!! I'll doing all australian shows. Its just absolute magic! But im really hoping Mark gets some book shows in as well. And for friends in New Zealand - I am so excited for you. I know Perth has missed out and yes Perth gets a hard deal all the time. And how about those 2 shows on the Sydney Opera House forecourt. I think these ones will be emotional because the venue - well looking out onto Sydney Harbour and the Opera House is kinda special. Anyone from Bar Italia doing the flight to join us?
Earmonn thats very common from Sydney folk. They are obviously living in the Eastern suburbs .... Always happy to visit though but more happy to get home to Brisbane. I have signed the petition - I always feel for Perth people when this **** happens.
