Wow! Pulp will play Manchester Wythenshawe Park on 28th August 2026 (possibly their only major headline show in 2026). With special guests. So they are not going to tour the UK next year?

This is soooo close to me, I live in Chorlton, I've ran through this park before!

Sooo exciting .

Mark's Manchester book talk snippets continue to come to fruition... please don't let them bow out after next year

Are any of the European date announced so far indoors? I might do one of those instead because the sound quality is always so much better

The BBC article states "Wythenshawe Park will be one of very few opportunities for fans to see Pulp perform live in 2026, and the only chance to see them play outdoors in the north of England next year." - so not ruling out other appearances elsewhere in the UK.

If the prices are on a par with the other Wythenshawe concerts, we're looking at about £80 general admission, £130+ VIP (fast track entry etc) with booking fees.

Prices start at £70... that detail was hidden right at the end of the Insta post.

This is the back holiday weekend meaning it should also be Manchester Pride weekend.

Assuming the issues surrounding Manchester Pride are resolved it's going to be one hell of a weekend for queer Pulp fans .

Maybe they'll do festivals? Green Man and End of the Road type affairs. Emma was at Green Man last year, so maybe was a sly recky?

It's not far for me so I am tempted. What are the issues surrounding Manchester Pride?

 They declared voluntary bankruptcy earlier this year.

They usually announce big outdoor gigs and festivals before because they take time to fill, then smaller dates maybe if that goes well.

Really hoping for indoor gigs, have not seen them since 2012 but i'm not interested in festivals.

I much prefer an indoor gig but there is something to be said for a big summer party in a park now & then. Even if the sound is pants, it's too light & tends to be full of casuals who will talk throughout.

I might go, as much as I am trying to talk myself out of it! Although I'm gonna have to risk buying tickets & then sorting the time off work later.
