After an 11 year performance hiatus, Pulp finally reunited for the first time in a decade to kick off their 2023 “This is What We Do For an Encore Tour” at the Bridlington Spa in Bridlington, England on May 26th. The band played a set full of fan favorite hits throughout their discography, group vocalist, Jarvis Cocker, kicking off the show announcing to the crowd, “We are Pulp, I’ve not said that for quite a long time,” according to Consequence Sound.
Pulp began the show with the 1995 classic “I Spy” from their fifth studio album Different Class which has since gone four times platinum. The setlist covered a wide range of their catalog including songs from their 1994 album His ‘n’ Hers, as well as their 2013 single “After You”.
