Pulp will play their first North American shows in over a decade as they announce a tour of the US and Canada for this fall.

The Sheffield band last performed on the continent in 2012, their final show coming at the Coachella Festival that year and are excited to make their return with dates in Chicago, Toronto, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York this September.

“So, the encore continues,” explains frontman Jarvis Cocker of the dates, which follow on from Pulp’s 2023 “This Is What We Do For An Encore” UK tour, one of the live highlights of last summer. “The songs came back to life and they want to be heard. They need to be heard. Come out and have some fun with us. You deserve it. Yes. You do.”

Tickets for the shows will go on sale this week. Fans can sign up for Pulp’s pre-sale by joining the band’s mailing via WeLovePulp.info before midnight PDT on Monday, 18 March. All those who do, will be sent a link and password to use when tickets go on sale on a first come, first served basis at 10am (local time to each venue) on Tuesday, 19 March.

Pulp’s bass player, Steve Mackey, passed away on the 2 March 2023 and the “This Is What We Do For An Encore” tour has become dedicated to his memory.

Tickets will then go on general sale on Friday, 22 March at 10am – again all times are local to the venue.
