Fresh off the release of their critically acclaimed 2025 album More, British indie darlings Pulp are set to make their long-awaited return to Australian and New Zealand stages — marking their first visit in 13 years.
Sadly they’re travelling widely but have no Perth date on the itinerary. So if you want to see them, its time to book a plane ticket or fill the car up with petrol for a trip across the Nullarbor.
The UK band have announced headline dates across Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, alongside an appearance at Adelaide Festival.
Artist pre-sale starts at 9am AEDT on Wednesday 5th November, with general on-sale beginning at 9am AEDT on Friday 7th November, presented by Double J.
More is Pulp’s first album since 2001’s We Love Life and came about after the band made their live return two years ago after an extended break. Recorded late in 2024 with producer James Ford, More is Pulp’s eighth studio album and features the singles Spike Island and Got to Have Love.
The album has been universally acclaimed by critics prior to release and is now available to buy and stream worldwide.
“The day an album is released to the public is a very special day” said front man Jarvis Cocker, “The music changes from being something owned only by the band to something that can be owned by anyone – it can become part of people’s lives. It’s magic.”
The band formed in Sheffield all the way back in 1978 but didn’t find mainstream success until 1994 with the release of their album His ‘n’ Hers and its 1995 follow up Different Class. Their success continued with the 1996 album This is Hardcore.
The band found themselves charttoppers in the era of Britpop with songs like Do You Remember the First Time?, Mis-Shapes / Sorted for E’s and Wizz, Disco 2000 and Common People.
Singer Jarvis Cocker has also had a successful solo career releasing several albums.
