Pulp - Live! [Vinyl]

When Pulp made their return last year promising “more”, they really weren’t kidding. “More” was the title of the Sheffield band’s first album in 24 years, and with songs that swooned, swaggered, sashayed and strutted, it quickly became a fan favorite amongst the group’s starred catalog, topping charts at home and abroad. Then there was more… and “More”… onstage. 

Following the record’s release last summer, Pulp hit the road, playing their own shows and headlining festivals the globe over. Songs from the new album enthralled and dazzled, while the modern masterpieces drawn from across Pulp’s career moved hearts and minds as one.    

To celebrate and capture those moments of musical brilliance, and to offer listeners yet more again, this summer Pulp release “Live!”, an album of recordings drawn from their iconic show at The O2 in London on 13 June 2025. An ultimate setlist, which saw the band deliver a two-part performance as they drew on songs from right across their storied career, “Live!” does not just showcase the dexterity and rich musical tapestry Pulp weave when they come together onstage; it also captures the spirit of their live shows. 

From moments of communal exhilaration to Jarvis Cocker’s candid confessionals; heart-swelling outpourings of love, to arena-filling sing-a-longs; Pulp’s words and music have always unlocked unique, intimate worlds making “Live!” a truly immersive portal to the place where those tracks ‘come alive’ – onstage.       
          
"A concert is an event where songs come back to life. That's why this album is called 'Live!’" explains Jarvis Cocker of this unique record in the Pulp canon. “It's both a statement of fact (it's a recording of a live band) & a challenge (come on! everyone come alive!).”
