Pulp

In the performance captured at Reading Festival on August 27, 2011, Pulp showcased their iconic hit "Common People," marking a significant moment in their career following a lengthy hiatus. The band had originally disbanded in 2002 but reunited in 2011, and this performance was part of their comeback tour, coinciding with the release of their first new material in nearly a decade. Their last studio album before the reunion was "We Love Life" (2001), which had seen a divergence into a more mature sound. The Reading Festival performance highlighted the band's enduring popularity and the vibrant energy they maintained, particularly through frontman Jarvis Cocker's charismatic stage presence. Notably, guitarist Richard Hawley, a former member of the band, joined them on stage, adding a nostalgic layer to the performance for long-time fans. This event also marked the beginning of a resurgence in Pulp's legacy, reaffirming their status in British music history.
