Pulp Play “Wickerman” For The First Time In 15 Years
Pulp played "Wickerman," a deep cut from their 2001 album We Love Life, for the first time since 2011 during a special performance at London's Royal Festival Hall this past Saturday. The show marked celebrations for Rough Trade's 50th birthday, and it was also notable for being the first time the band performed their entire latest album, More, live in full.
The setlist included every track from More, which was released last year as Pulp's first record with Rough Trade following their 2024 signing to the label. Frontman Jarvis Cocker guided fans through a Powerpoint presentation offering commentary on each song, alongside shared photos and demo recordings of tracks including "Spike Island," "Grown Ups," "Farmer Markets," "Got To Have Love" and "A Sunset." The band also performed a cover of ABBA's "The Day Before You Came" during the set.
