About Pulp
Pulp is a Sheffield-formed British rock group and Britpop band fronted by lead singer Jarvis Cocker. Known for their clever lyricism, theatrical flair, and distinct aesthetic, the group rose to alternative rock prominence during the peak of the 1990s UK music explosion.
In August 2026, the band unveiled the teaser trailer for their upcoming feature-length documentary, titled What Do You Do for an Encore?, offering a look into their history and live performances ahead of a streaming and theatrical release. Later that month, Pulp took over the Rat & Pigeon pub in central Manchester, creating a pop-up archive filled with paraphernalia from their personal collection ahead of a headline concert at Wythenshawe Park.
The group concluded their 2026 tour and reunion run in September 2026 with a headlining show at England's End Of The Road festival. During the performance, which helped mark the festival's 20th anniversary, Pulp debuted their vault deep cut "Deep Fried in Kelvin" live before taking an extended hiatus from the spotlight.
