Pulp Reunite for Summer 2011 Concerts

And now a message from Pulp (!):

Pulp have decided to get together and play some concerts next summer. The shows will involve all the original members of the band (Nick Banks, Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey, Russell Senior and Mark Webber) and they will be playing songs from all periods of their career. (Yes, that means they’ll be playing your favourites.)

The will be the first time that all original Pulp members have been on stage together since 24th August 1996.

Only 2 reunion shows have been announced so far — May 27 at Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, Spain and July 3 at London’s Wireless Festival — but we can expect more (hopefully stateside) dates to come. Great news, indeed. Let’s revisit “Common People” at Glastonbury ‘95.
