Pulp has cancelled one show on their Latin American tour set for next month.
The Jarvis Cocker-fronted band confirmed in a post to Instagram earlier today (May 8) that their previously booked show in Bogotá would no longer go ahead. A statement from Pulp has since been released. It reads: “Important announcement. Pulp’s concert in Bogotá at the Movistar Arena, scheduled for 6 June 2026, has been cancelled. We send our love and apologies to all Pulp fans in Colombia, & to those from elsewhere that were planning to travel to this concert. We are very sorry for all the disappointment & inconveniences this will cause.
“Ticket holders can request a full refund through the official channels at Tuboleta.com. The rest of our Latin American tour will go ahead as planned & we look forward to seeing you in Mexico, Chile and Argentina. With love from, Pulp.”
While the band has performed in South America before, the group had never played a show in Bogotá, and it looks as though fans will have to wait a little longer for such a show, should it ever materialise. Shows in Mexico, Chile, and Argentina will go ahead as planned, with the band last performing in South America back in 2023, shortly after reforming for the Encore tour.

The band is set to perform at the Southbank Arena in July as part of Rough Trade Records’ fiftieth anniversary celebrations. A show at Wythenshaw Park in Manchester, as well as dates in France and Germany, are set to follow.
Pulp’s reunion has seen the band perform across the world, with a concert in Red Rocks, Colorado, leaving frontman Cocker ill. Cocker told The Ultimate Record Collector magazine: “Red Rocks was good. I got given an oxygen mask because of the high altitude, so I could do a bit of a Dennis Hopper in between songs, which was quite enjoyable. Although I had a cold after that concert, so maybe I overdid it.”
Despite the illness, Cocker and fellow Pulp band members were full of praise for the venue and the setting. Drummer Nick Banks noted the raccoons which are kept at Red Rocks as a particular highlight for the band’s appearance.
Banks said: “Obviously it’s a pretty iconic venue. When we got the list of gigs we were gonna do I straight away went to Red Rocks and went, ‘Wow, that’s going to be amazing,’ And it really was.
“When you’re onstage playing away, when you’ve got that couple of moments to look up and you’re seeing the huge sandstone pillars and this huge auditorium, you’re going, ‘Wow, that is outrageous.’ And we got to play with the raccoons, which was lovely as well. Backstage raccoons. They’re the best. We love raccoons.”
Pulp would release a cover of Johnny Cash’s The Man Comes Around shortly after the performance at Red Rocks. A setlist photo released shortly after the show noted the inclusion of it in the show, though the band opted not to perform it that night. It remains unplayed live by the band so far, though it may make an appearance in a future show.
