Jools Holland’s musical mothership returns to BBC Two this Sunday at 10 PM with a line-up that spans generations and genres. Britpop icons Pulp headline the hour, sharing the bill with Swedish garage-rockers The Hives, and folk-pop stalwart Suzanne Vega. It’s a mix only Holland could pull off, bringing together stadium-fillers and cult favorites under one very eclectic roof.
Pulp, fronted by the ever-sharp Jarvis Cocker, will dip into their back catalog, dusting off hits for longtime fans while also showcasing tracks from their comeback album, More. The Hives are bringing their raucous energy straight from Sweden and will be bashing out some cuts from their album The Hives Forever Forever The Hives, while Suzanne Vega is expected to perform her song “Chambermaid” from her Flying with Angels album, and chat with Jools about her first appearance on the show back in 1997. Adding to the eclectic mix are Nectar Woode and Wunderhorse.
This marks the third episode in Later’s sixty-sixth series, a run that continues Holland’s legacy as a tastemaker who bridges musical divides. Tune in this Sunday to see who steals the show.
“Later… with Jools Holland” airs Sunday on BBC Two at 10:00 PM.
