Therefore… Come along and make some noise. See you there.”
The 2023 tour begins in May with shows in Bridlington and Warrington, UK. From there, Pulp will perform in Dublin, Ireland, London, Glasgow, Scarborough, and more. The trek includes two dates at the Utilita Arena in the band’s hometown of Sheffield.
