Pulp Edinburgh Hogmanay 2023 Presale: How to get tickets for the Britpop legends, timings and probable setlist

The organisers of Edinburgh's Hogmanay street party are pulling out all the stops for the 30th anniversary of the first event - with a big headline act playing Princes Street Gardens.

Pulp, fronted by Jarvis Cocker, have been unveiled as the headliners for Edinburgh's legendary Hogmanay street party.

Sheffield Britpoppers Pulp have been announced as the headliners of the Concert in the Gardens at Edinburgh's 2023 Hogmanay celebrations.

The band recently reformed and have played a string of critically-acclaimed shows featuring hits like 'Common People', 'Disco 2000', 'Something Changed' and 'Do You Remember the First Time' - including a date at Glasgow's TRNSMT festival.

To mark the announcement, lead singer Jarvis Cocker said: “When your grandkids ask ‘do you remember the first time Pulp played Edinburgh's Hogmanay? What will your answer be?' Come along & start 2024 in the very best way possible. Oh yes.”

Here's everything you need to know - including how to get your hands on tickets.
