Pulp wrapped up their 2024 tour on Saturday night at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. In a note on Instagram after the show, Jarvis said Saturday’s show “was like Apocalypse Now: the Musical.” He probably meant that in a good way. “Let’s do it again sometime.”
This short, two-week North American run has seen the UK band, who haven’t made a new record since 2001, peppering their sets with new songs in addition to classics like “Common People,’ “This is Hardcore,” “Babies,” “Disco 2000,” and more. The previous dates on the tour only got one new song a night but on Saturday they played two: “Spike Island” and the sweet, romantic “Farmers Market” which they debuted at their first of three L.A. shows on Wednesday and was their final song of the night.
Jarvis asked if they could squeeze in on more (likely “Glory Days” which has ended every set this year) but they were up against curfew. A wave of disappointment rose from the crowd but Jarvis said “At 10 O’Clock all the zombies come out of the graves and I would feel responsible if anyone died.”
With all the new songs, it certainly seems like we might be getting a new Pulp album, which Jarvis also hinted at in his post-show Instagram. “Last one in the USA. Last one of 2024. But please believe us: this is only the beginning.”
As Jarvis said goodnight to the crowd he left them with, “We hope to see you again in the not-to-distant-future.”
