Pulp are set to release a new documentary chronicling their rise to fame, alongside a live album captured during their London shows last year.
The upcoming film, titled Pulp: What Do You Do For An Encore?, is narrated by frontman Jarvis Cocker and directed by Garth Jennings. It explores the band’s journey from their early days through to their recent resurgence, using rare archival footage as well as behind-the-scenes material from their 2025 More tour.
According to its official description, the documentary blends “the brilliantly choreographed stage spectacle of Pulp’s biggest ever arena show – part of the global tour for More, the band’s first album in 24 years – with four decades of colourful, never-seen-before archival material ...”
It continues, calling the film “a vibrant tribute to a band of brilliant misfits, whose unique blend of irony, rebellion, and razor-sharp social commentary resonated with generations of listeners and helped define an era of British culture.”
Jennings has previously collaborated with the band, directing their music videos for Help The Aged in 1997 and A Little Soul in 1988.
While a release date for Pulp: What Do You Do For An Encore? has not yet been confirmed, the accompanying live album, titled Live!, is scheduled for release on August 28.
The record was captured during Pulp’s performances at London’s The O2 Arena in June 2025.
Cocker described the project, saying: “A concert is an event where songs come back to life. That’s why this album is called Live! It’s both a statement of fact (it's a recording of a live band) and a challenge (come on! Everyone come alive!).”
More marked Pulp’s first studio album since 2001’s We Love Life.
When asked about the possibility of new music in the future, Cocker previously suggested the door is still open, telling NME: “Maybe. We tried to not have a concept for this record or think: 'This is it, this is our last gas'. I used to think that a lot.
"I had this weird thing that when an album was mixed and finished where I’d think: 'Oh, I can die now and it would be OK'. That’s a terrible way to think about your life, really. I didn’t feel that with this record [More].”
