Pulp's Jarvis Cocker Teases More Music
After releasing their first album in 24 years this summer, Jarvis Cocker hinted that Pulp might not be finished yet. The Sheffield band’s comeback record, More, marked their first LP since the death of bassist Steve Mackey in 2023 and earned them a Mercury Prize nomination for 2025.
The album’s release coincided with a surprise performance on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, sparking excitement among fans eager to hear more. Speaking with Uncut, the band reflected on the warm reception their return received and shared that they might return to writing new songs once their 2026 tour concludes.
Hints from the Band
“We are playing some concerts in 2026, so the first half of next year is mapped out but that’s about it. Looking too far ahead probably isn’t good for your mental health. I had been looking forward to retirement, but it looks like I’ve had to delay that a bit.”
“New music isn’t out of the question.”
Outlook for Fans
Pulp’s future appears open-ended, with both nostalgia and creative spark still in play. Their fans may yet have new songs to look forward to after next year’s tour.
