Pulp have hinted that they will return, once again, this year.
It was previously presumed that Jarvis Cocker & Co. were only reforming for their 2011 reunion shows, but posting on Twitter today - at 12pm on the dot - they commented: ‘You think this is over?’
The band - which formed in Sheffield in 1978, and was initially active until 2002 - played a string of dates last year, including two headline shows at Brixton Academy, and numerous festival spots.
When announcing the reformation in November 2010, they were suitably sketchy about the band’s future beyond 2011, simply saying: ‘Pulp have decided to get together and play some concerts next summer.’
You think this is over?
