Some of the world’s absolute best musicians are drawn to Manchester year in, year out, and now a very special announcement has come in. The legendary Pulp will headline Live From Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on Friday, 28th August 2026, joined by very special guest Self Esteem – and tickets are about to go on sale.
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.
Who are Pulp?
For those uneducated, 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.
Who will support Pulp at Wythenshawe Park?
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.
