Pulp Encore documentary trailer in theaters September
The legendary Britpop band Pulp is gearing up for a major cinematic event, bringing their chaotic energy and iconic moments to the big screen with the new documentary and concert film, Pulp: What Do You Do For an Encore?. Directed by Garth Jennings, known for his work on classics like Sing, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the film promises a deep dive into the band’s history, featuring exclusive footage and untold stories.
This isn’t just another retrospective; it’s an invitation behind the curtain. The film boasts incredible material drawn from Pulp’s surprise Glastonbury performance, the tour supporting their acclaimed album More, and much-needed archival footage, new interviews, and a generous dose of insight into the creative process that birthed their sound.
To maximize the impact of this retrospective, the film will debut with a carefully curated release strategy. The world will get to experience these special screenings as “one night only” events across different territories: September 18 in the UK, September 23 in Canada, and September 24 in the US. Tickets are expected to become available shortly.
Beyond the limited theatrical run, fans will have access to the full experience later in the year, as Pulp: What Do You Do For an Encore? will stream on MUBI.
Adding to this sonic celebration, Pulp is also releasing their first-ever live album. Fans can preorder the official release on blue vinyl starting August 28.
While the spotlight shines on Pulp’s cinematic journey, other Britpop cinema news continues to unfold. The highly anticipated documentary about Oasis, Don’t Look Back in Anger, is set to debut on IMAX screens, with a world premiere scheduled for the 2026 Venice Film Festival.
