Pulp will release their live album Live! via Rough Trade Records on August 28, followed by The Garth Jennings directed film Pulp: What Do You Do For an Encore?, which will premiere worldwide on MUBI later this autumn.  The film  was Recorded the week More dropped, the band’s first album in 24 years. ‘A concert is an event where songs come back to life, that’s why this album is called “Live!”‘ explains Jarvis Cocker of the recordings. “It’s both a statement of fact (it’s a recording of a live band) & a challenge (come on! Everyone come alive!).”

Pulp’s relationship with Garth Jennings dates back to 1997: the year he directed the promo video for the song “Help the Aged”. When Pulp announced that they were touring again back in 2023, Garth got in touch & offered his services in helping to design the staging concept. Then, in June 2025, he filmed the band’s two performances at the O2 Arena in London. This footage provides the main content of the film.

“Live!” will be released on 28 August 2026, suitably enough Pulp will be onstage that evening, performing a sold-out show in Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park. The album will be available on double vinyl – both in a limited-edition blue pressing available from the band & label webstore and independent record shops and on black vinyl
