So, just five hours to go until Pulp emerge for their first live concert in over a decade.

This Is What We Do For An Encore, folks.

Doors at seven. Support at eight.

And at nine, the Bridlington Spa welcomes Candida Doyle, Nick Banks, Mark Webber, and Jarvis Cocker to the stage.

Oh, what a hell of a show.

Carnt bleedin' wait. Fingers crossed that they're their own support. Maybe put *Spoilers* in the thread title if we're going to be discussing the gig here.

I'm not even going to this gig and I'm nervous as hell. Who's playing bass? Do they have a replacement violinist for Russel or have the songs been rearranged a la Common People? I'm very eager to read about the set list. Hope you all have a truly brilliant time.

I wonder if...they're going to bring the key down in some of the songs. Jarvis said in the 6Music interview with Lauren in November that after listening back to the old songs, he was surprised at how high some of them were and he's never been blessed with the broadest range.

Giles Acrylic suggested some of Jarv Is... band-members being involved which sounds logical.

Have a great time all the luckies who are going tonight. Looking forward to following set lists and reports. Speculating before my nights come round is a delicious part of the fun.

Just listening to Freaks as I read this - if the range is a worry for Jarvis then theres a rich seam to be mined there. I hope they delve that far back if playing rarities. They didnt go earlier than Separations last time did they, Lighthouses aside? (So thrilled to be there for that)

Well they went back to LA once, and also did one verse of Master Of The Universe in Italy for shits and giggles (was at that gig and thought I was hallucinating!).

Oh and they played Dogs Are Everywhere in Romania, purely because Bucharest was the stray-canine capital of the world according to Branson Cocker!

 Little Girl With Blue Eyes at Sheffield Arena on the 2012 tour. Jarvis seemed so embarrassed singing those old songs though. I seem to remember him asking permission and kinda apologising for delving that far back.

Are you having tinnies on regional trains? Sounds like a Jarvis lyric.

In the queue; and if anyone saw a daft skinny t**t try to open a bottle of beer on the kerb, with the contents spraying all over his trousers...

Yours truly.

Hahaha

Btw, members of Jarv Is...are involved. They've spilled some beans on their Instas.

 Fingers crossed for "a dead seaside town"  Though it's looking rather lovely by the beach in the sun

Hello all! Reporting from the front line, quite literally. There was a girl at the very front of the queue who arrived at 5.30am! Massive respect.

We got a sneak peek at the setlist earlier but obviously won't spoil anything here beforehand. Think it'll make a lot of people happy though. Especially the beginning of the second encore. Enjoy!

A second encore... well, if they get that far with Jarv's nattering!

I'm at the front with Fran and Fuss Free. We're all pretty buzzing I think! Hoping they play Fairground so that we can all cackle maniacally.

SUPPORT = Jennifer Reid. From Rochdale. Bloody great. Sings unaccompanied, witty songs in Lancashire dialect.

This is a quintessentially Pulp choice. Really accomplished, very warmly received - people stomping and clapping along. Glad they're chosen to highlight her she's great.

Wireless mic, by the way...

Guy next to me didn't like it... started googling "Lancashire paedophiles".

Each to their own I suppose!

There's a big kettle drum - His 'n' Hers? OU?

Two drumkits, odds on that Ross Orton will be involved in some capacity.
