Pulp 2026 'You Deserve More' Australian and New Zealand tour: Presale code, dates, venues, and more explored

Britpop act Pulp are officially set to return to Australia in 2026 with the 'You Deserve More' Australian and New Zealand tour. The run will be the Sheffield-based group's first visit to the region in 13 years. It also coincides with the release of their acclaimed comeback album, More.

This ANZ leg is being presented by Handsome Tours, Laneway Presents, and Double J. The run will see Jarvis Cocker's band perform across Auckland, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney in February and March 2026. The string of shows follows their 2025 European tour.

The band announced the new Australia and New Zealand tour via an official Instagram post, which read:

"Pulp are returning to New Zealand and Australia next year! ⁠ You deserve more, so we’ll be playing in Auckland, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne & Sydney in February & March 2026. https://bit.ly/PULP26_ht⁠. Tickets go on general sale this Friday (7 Nov), but if you're on Pulp's mailing list you can take part in a pre-sale on Wednesday (5 Nov) from 9am local time. ⁠Make sure you are signed up via https://welovepulp.info before the end of Tuesday this week.⁠"

The band was formed in Sheffield, England, in 1978. Jarvis Cocker was a teenager back then. Gradually, the band went through multiple line-ups and genre shifts before finding success in the mid-1990s. Their 1994 album, His 'n' Hers, earned a Mercury Prize nomination.

The band followed it up with Different Class (1995). That record reached No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and also earned them the Mercury Music Prize. It produced beloved hits like Common People, Disco 2000, and Mis-Shapes.
