Jarvis had hinted at the news last week via his instagram. It will be Pulp‘s first shows since 2012.

Jarvis Cocker shared the Pulp lyric “What exactly do you do for an encore?“ and then wrote “Good question...“

“We’re singing it over the Atlantic Ocean because a certain judgement has been made, mainly by men, telling women what they can and can’t do with their bodies, “ Jarvis said, “so this is going to those guys.“
