Over the next decade, radio astronomers will have new, exciting instruments available to answer fundamental questions in physics and astrophysics. Without doubts, new discoveries will be made, revealing new objects and phenomena. We can expect pulsar astronomers to receive their fair share. In many respects, the field of pulsar astrophysics will change, as the science will not simply be a continuation of what has been done so successfully over the past 40 years. Instead, the huge number of pulsars to be discovered and studied with an unprecedented sensitivity will provide a step forward into exciting times. Instruments like the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and their powerful pathfinder telescopes will enable a complete census of Galactic pulsars, ultimate tests of gravitational physics, unique studies of the emission process and much more. This talk will demonstrate the potential of the future instruments by presenting highlights of the science to be conducted.
