Pulp
Grab life by the lapels this summer with the one and only Pulp, as they play their recent album More in full, with support from SOAK.
One of Britain’s most iconic bands, responsible for hits including ‘Common People’ and ‘Disco 2000’, Pulp are still making waves with their latest album More – their first in 24 years.
The songs on 2025’s More are run through the thrum of desire and the drift of relationships, the anxieties of parenthood, the sense of belonging to places and people. It’s an album about the passage of time and growing up and understanding your place in it all.
As the lyrics from one of the songs, ‘Farmers Market’ recognise, we don’t have forever, and we should hold on to what’s good. ‘Ain’t it time we started living?’ it asks at its close. ‘Ain’t it time we started feeling?’ Perhaps more than anything, the songs are an invitation to come alive.
With a reunion tour in 2011, a second series of rapturously received shows across the UK, Europe and North America in 2023 and, more recently, a secret set at Glastonbury Festival, this is a show not to miss.
Support comes from SOAK, otherwise known as Bridie Monds-Watson (they/them), an Irish-born singer-songwriter. After uploading their demo of ‘Sea Creatures’ to BBC Introducing in 2012, SOAK quickly became one of Northern Ireland’s most exciting rising stars. Their debut album, Before We Forgot How To Dream won the Choice Prize in Ireland, the Northern Ireland Music Prize and a Mercury Prize nomination. This was followed by Grim Town in 2019 and 2022’s If I Never Know You Like This Again, a love letter to indie greats. SOAK has now completed work on their highly anticipated fourth record.
