Pulp has broken their record for the longest-ever show in the band’s history, with frontman Jarvis Cocker noting the group wanted to smash their record.
The show put on by the band last night (June 2) at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, Mexico, is reportedly the band’s longest-ever show. Pulp, who returned to South America for the first time since 2023, performed a staggering 25 songs, including a handful of deep cuts from their early years. The show now stands as the longest-ever show by the band, who performed for two hours and 40 minutes last night. The Pulp setlist featured selections from their latest album, as well as classic tracks like Common People and Do You Remember the First Time?. It marks the first Pulp show in South America since 2023, where they debuted an at-the-time unreleased song, Background Noise. The song would later feature on the band’s 2025 album, More.

The first show of the band’s South American tour comes just weeks after the group confirmed they would be cancelling a show scheduled in Bogotá. A statement released by the band at the time 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 London on July 18 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.
