Pulp‘s 2011-12 reunion finally arrived in Sheffield over th weekend (December 8th), when the band played a first show in their hometown since 2002.
The Sheffield Arena was treated to a career-spanning set, including a performance of Pulp’s delightful early single ‘My Lighthouse‘, with the majority of the night being dominated by the band’s three classic 90s albums ‘His N Hers‘, ‘Different Class‘ and ‘This Is Hardcore‘.
It is not clear whether Pulp plan on continuing their reunion into 2013, while frontman Jarvis Cocker has also recently ruled out the possibility of a new album, telling Q:
“It was a big enough challenge to learn how to play all the old songs and, hopefully, perform them in a convincing way. It also means you aren’t trying to flog anything to anyone – then you have to do interviews and convince people they have to go and but this new record as well! It was kinda nice not to have to do that.”
