Iconic 90s Rock Band Plays Epic Show After Releasing First Album In 24 Years
Iconic classic rock band Pulp played a seriously sick show in Dublin, Ireland on June 10 — just four days after they released their first studio album in nearly 24 years.
The group — which consists of legendary singer, guitarist, and frontman Jarvis Cocker, keyboardist Candida Doyle, guitarist Mark Webber, and drummer Nick Banks — brought down the house at the 3Arena in Ireland's capital city. The show came just days after the release of their new album, which is titled More, on June 6.
The album marks their eighth studio release, nearly a quarter of a century after they put out their last one. We Love Life, their previous record, was released in 2001. They did play a few shows back in 2011 and drop a single or two in 2013, but this is the first major release from the band in many years. They dropped their first record back in 1983, five years after forming the band in Sheffield, England when Cocker, 61, and friend Peter Dalton were just young teenagers.
Minus Cocker, much of the band's original line-up never made it past high school graduation, as they went off to continue their studies. But Cocker just drummed up a new set of musicians to take over. By the early 90s, they found mainstream success with their 1994 album His 'n' Hers, as well as their 1995 follow-up Different Class, which spawned the hit single 'Common People.'
The band is generally considered one of the core four Britpop groups, alongside Oasis — who is reuniting this summer after 16 years — and their contemporaries Blur and Suede.
As for their current tour, Pulp is currently playing across Europe and Asia through August, stopping off in Spain, England, and South Korea before taking their tour across the United States for the month of September.
As of now, that's all they have on the calendar as far as the tour goes — but no matter what, we thankfully have their exciting new album to immerse ourselves in when the shows are over.

Oasis says they're ‘shocked and saddened' after fan falls to his death at Wembley show
A man fell to his death at the Oasis concert on Saturday at Wembley Stadium, British Metropolitan Police have confirmed. In a statement given to the BBC, officials said they responded to a report that a man in his 40s had been injured at the show around 10:19 p.m. BST. After discovering 'injuries consistent with a fall,' the man was pronounced dead at the scene. 'The stadium was busy, and we believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage,' officials said. They then called for any information regarding the incident to be reported. It is believed the man fell from the stadium's upper tier. No additional details were added concerning the cause of the fall, though some attendees who witnessed the incident suggested that the man may have slipped. 'So much beer was being thrown throughout the whole concert,' one woman told the Guardian. 'I was surprised they allowed people to bring drinks into the stands. It made the floor really slippy.' Another fan, John, says he saw many fans leaning against the balcony from block 511, where witnesses claim the fall took place. 'There were loads of people who just kept going down to the front and leaning right over. One guy was stopped, but after that, no security came down,' he said. 'There's a rail and a small guard, but it did make me think someone could quite easily get knocked off there.' He was also critical of alcohol consumption at the show, adding that he 'constantly saw people with cardboard cup holders full of pints.' The Times reported on Friday that Oasis fans had drank 250,000 pints of beer during one show at Wembley, breaking a stadium record. Last year's Coldplay gigs saw 120,000 pints sold, and 40,000 for Taylor Swift. Representatives of Wembley Stadium told the BBC that paramedics attempted to revive the man on the scene, but to no avail. 'Despite their efforts, the fan very sadly died.' they said. Oasis addressed the tragedy, telling NME they were 'shocked and saddened' to hear the news. 'Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved,' they added. The concert was the fourth show in Oasis' quartet of sold-out appearances at Wembley; they'll close out the historical run on Monday. The North American leg of their tour will kick off on Aug. 24 in Toronto and make its way to Los Angeles for two nights at the Rose Bowl on Sept. 6 and 7. The Gallagher brothers shocked the world when they reunited after 15 years, following a widely publicized and bitter fallout in 2009. The reunion rollout began with a teaser video posted on Aug. 25, 2024, on the band's Instagram account. It contained a date and time: '08.27.24, 8 a.m.' It would end up being the official announcement of their 2025 tour. 'This is it,' the band wrote. 'This is happening.'

'60s Rock Legend Shares Bold Opinion About the Future of Black Sabbath
'60s Rock Legend Shares Bold Opinion About the Future of Black Sabbath originally appeared on Parade. As one of the only surviving members of the iconic rock band The Doors, guitarist Robby Krieger knows a thing or two about carrying on after the tragic loss of an larger-than-life frontman. So it's no surprise that the 79-year-old musician had some words of wisdom for Black Sabbath following the recent death of Ozzy Osbourne. In a video shared to TikTok this week, Krieger stopped to chat with a fan about Osbourne's death on July 22, calling it "a bummer." "I didn't really know him, but I know some of the other guys in the band," he added. When asked whether he thought Black Sabbath should continue to tour without Osbourne, Krieger gave a practical, if tongue-in-cheek, answer. "I would say take ten years and then decide," he said, smiling slightly, adding that it's "not cool" when bands "go right out" on tour after the death of a member. Fans were quick to comment on Krieger's sly sense of humor, noting that in ten years, the remaining members of Black Sabbath will be close to 90 years old. "My guy has a sense of humor. Ten years," one person wrote, with a second agreeing, "His little smirk waiting for her to get the joke was really sweet." "Very keen sense of humor apparently!" another fan added, as someone else added, "What a sweetheart. Total gentleman." Krieger's dark sense of humor was also on display in an interview with Variety following the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year when he opened up about writing songs such as "Light My Fire" while living with his parents in their Pacific Palisades home, which unfortunately burned in the blaze. 'Instead of writing 'Light My Fire,' I should've written 'Don't Light My Fire,'' he quipped.'60s Rock Legend Shares Bold Opinion About the Future of Black Sabbath first appeared on Parade on Aug 4, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 4, 2025, where it first appeared.
