Britpop legends Pulp head to Manchester this week, fresh from a barnstorming performance at Finsbury Park in London at the weekend. The indie pioneers will be headling at Castlefield Bowl as part of the ongoing Sounds of the City series at the outdoor venue.
Back in May, Pulp confirmed their first Manchester show in more than 20 years as part of their summer reunion tour called This is What We Do For an Encore. Known for hits including Disco 2000 and Common People, the band is fronted by Jarvis Cocker, and has released seven albums since 1983.
The Castlefield Bowl show, which will feature support from indie musician Baxter Dury, will be the band’s first gig in Manchester for 22 years. They last performed in the city at the O2 Apollo on November 25, 2001 as part of their We Love Life tour.
