“I’m probably going to make loads of bad tennis jokes,” Pulp’s founder and lead singer, Jarvis Cocker, warned the audience at the beginning of the band’s set at Forest Hills Stadium. The day before Pulp headlined at Forest Hills Stadium, More was among the 12 albums nominated for the 2025 Mercury Prize; the winner will be announced on October 16. This marks the band’s fourth nomination for the award and the first since winning in 1996 for the album Different Class. As the momentum builds, Pulp will release a 30th-anniversary box set for Different Class on October 24. Pulp songs often namecheck British culture and history.
