Pulp announce 2025 UK and Ireland arena tour and tease future: ‘You deserve more’
The band, who recently signed a record deal with Rough Trade, also promise more news – potentially regarding a new album – in “a little more time”
Pulp have announced details of a UK arena tour this summer, and appear to be teasing the arrival of new music in 2025.
At the end of last year, the Britpop legends announced that they had signed to Rough Trade Records after reuniting for a number of live shows in the summer of 2022, which stretched through to the middle of 2023.
Announcing the new gigs, which include two shows at The O2 in London, Jarvis Cocker said: “You deserve more – & we have more.” It comes after the band detailed a homecoming show as part of Sheffield’s Tramlines Festival, where they will curate a line-up on July 25.
Going on to hint at new music, Cocker added: “In fact, we have More – (but that’s a whole other story… you’ll have to wait a little more time to hear that one)
“In the meantime: see you this Summer!”

Before their latest reunion tour, the last time Pulp had played together was in 2012, two years after they began a first reunion tour that took them to Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds and beyond.
“Rough Trade have managed Pulp for over 30 years so it feels great to be finally on the label. We did it!” the band said in a statement of their signing last year. In the summer of 2023, Pulp performed an unreleased song called ‘Hymn of the North’ at one of their Sheffield homecoming gigs.
