For those craving a more intimate Pulp experience, BBC Two has you covered. Hot on the heels of their Later… appearance, Jarvis Cocker and company take the stage for Radio 2 In Concert, airing Sunday at 10:45 PM. This exclusive performance, recorded at the BBC Radio Theatre in London, features a stripped-down set list of both classic hits and new material from the band’s recently released album More.
Introduced by Jo Whiley, the concert captures Pulp in a different light than their festival-sized comeback shows. The smaller venue and select audience make for a more focused performance, giving fans a chance to hear both familiar favorites like “Common People” and deeper cuts from the band’s extensive catalog, along with some new tracks like “Spike Island” and “A Sunset”.
This televised concert is a rare treat for devotees, especially given Pulp’s long hiatus from the music scene. It’s a chance to see the band reconnect with their core sound while also exploring the newer territory charted on More.
“Radio 2 In Concert: Pulp” airs Sunday on BBC Two at 10:45 PM.
