Pulp have announced a run of North American tour dates later this year.
The Britpop legends will be hitting the road in Chicago, Toronto, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York this September, for their first dates stateside since 2012.
“So, the encore continues,” said frontman Jarvis Cocker of the shows. “The songs came back to life and they want to be heard. They need to be heard. Come out and have some fun with us. You deserve it. Yes. You do.”
