The legendary Pulp will headline Live From Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on Friday, 28
th August 2026, joined by very special guest Self Esteem.
Following their acclaimed reunion shows and the release of their long-awaited new album More
– the band’s first in 24 years – Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Nick Banks, Mark Webber, and
their collaborators will bring their celebrated live show to Manchester for what promises to be an
unforgettable night.
The Wythenshawe Park performance will be one of very few opportunities for fans to see Pulp
perform live in 2026, and the only chance to see them outdoors in the North of England next
year. This announcement also marks the final artist revealed for the Live From Wythenshawe
Park series in 2026.
Pulp’s remarkable story continues to resonate across generations. Since their formation in
Sheffield in the late 1970s, the band have created some of British music’s most enduring
moments – from Common People and Disco 2000 to This Is Hardcore – songs that captured the
wit, romance and grit of everyday life. Their latest work, More, finds the band reflecting on time,
desire and renewal with the insight and emotional charge that have always defined their music.
Joining them at Wythenshawe Park will be Self Esteem, the critically acclaimed project of
Rebecca Lucy Taylor, whose fearless, genre-defying pop has made her one of the UK’s most
vital contemporary voices.
