Overview
- Pulp shared the first trailer for Pulp: What Do You Do for an Encore?, and distributor Mubi has scheduled an exclusive streaming premiere for September 25 with a one-night U.S. theatrical preview on September 24.
- Director Garth Jennings assembled a 90-minute film that uses footage shot at the band’s 2025 arena shows alongside archival material spanning roughly four decades, with Jarvis Cocker narrating.
- The documentary features 20 songs taken from the 2025 concerts and aims to stitch live performances and backstory into a single concert-driven narrative.
- A live album called Live! will be released August 28 through Rough Trade to coincide with Pulp’s performance at Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park on the same night.
- Jennings’ long relationship with Pulp — dating to his 1997 video work and his staging help for the band’s 2023 return — shaped the film’s access and perspective on the Sheffield band’s journey.
