Pulp Share New Single & Video 'Got To Have Love'
Pulp are pleased to announce they are releasing a brand new single 'Got To Have Love'.
The song offers a second taste of the new record – the band's first in almost 24 years, released on 6 June – following their acclaimed return with Spike Island in April.
"It's a slightly hysterical song that tries to talk about love as I see it now," Jarvis Cocker reveals of the track, which seems destined for immediate live anthem status when the band kick off their UK & Ireland Arena tour in June, followed by more dates – including a full North American tour – later this year.
A Jarvis Cocker-directed video for the track has been created which pairs the song with
footage from the iconic 1977 Wigan Casino documentary directed by Tony Palmer. Weaving the footage of Northern Soul dancers together with Pulp's music, the video underlines the 'Got To Have Love' dancefloor credentials.
'I love dancing - & this is the best footage of dancing I've ever seen. I first saw it in Mark Leckey's 'Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore' video' says Jarvis.
We say: Get down.

The Inflight Entertainment Visionary Taking Australian Aviation To New Heights
The visionary, Blanger-Martin, has set his sights on the land down under, bringing with him a vision that promises to revolutionise how Australians fly and stay connected at 35,000 feet. A Qantas A380 thunders overhead, carrying hundreds of passengers bound for London. Inside the cabin, travellers settle into their seats, fingers dancing across screens as they browse an impressive array of entertainment options. Little do they know that the architect of their inflight experience, Louis Bélanger-Martin, is about to transform Australian aviation in ways they can scarcely imagine. On this crisp autumn morning in 2025, the Canadian-born entrepreneur stands at the precipice of a new frontier. Having conquered North American and European skies, Bélanger-Martin has set his sights on the land down under, bringing with him a vision that promises to revolutionise how Australians fly and stay connected at 35,000 feet. The Quiet Revolution in the Clouds Engineers and designers huddle around holographic displays in a nondescript office building overlooking Darling Harbour, fine-tuning what industry insiders call ' the next big leap ' in inflight entertainment. This is the Australian headquarters of Bélanger-Martin's latest venture, a startup that blends cutting-edge AI with immersive virtual reality technology. ' What Louis is doing here isn't just about keeping passengers entertained,' whispers an anonymous spokesperson, their eyes darting around the room as if sharing state secrets. ' He's creating a digital ecosystem to transform aircraft into flying smart cities. Did you know he once coded an entire game engine during a transatlantic flight, just because he was bored with the existing options? ' This anecdote, while unverified, speaks volumes about the drive and ingenuity that have propelled Bélanger-Martin to the forefront of the aviation technology sector. From founding DTI Software in 1995 to orchestrating the $650 million deal that created Global Eagle Entertainment in 2013, his career has been defined by an uncanny ability to anticipate and shape the future of air travel. Connectivity at the Core of Innovation As Australia grapples with connecting its vast, often remote territories, Bélanger-Martin's expertise in satellite technology and inflight Wi-Fi solutions could not be more timely. The country's major airlines have been scrambling to keep pace with the explosive demand for high-speed internet access during flights. According to the latest industry reports, inflight Wi-Fi demand will surge by an astounding 300% by 2030. This growth is driven not just by passengers' desire to stay connected but by airlines' recognition of the revenue potential in offering seamless digital services. From Entertainment to Experience With some of the world's longest non-stop routes, including the Perth to London 'Kangaroo Route,' Australian carriers are eager for solutions to keep passengers engaged and comfortable for extended periods. ' Louis doesn't just see a captive audience; he sees a community waiting to be connected,' reveals a senior executive at a major Australian airline, speaking anonymously. ' His plans for integrating social gaming and virtual reality experiences tailored to flight paths could turn strangers into friends and transform dead time into shared adventures. ' This approach aligns perfectly with Australia's tech-savvy population and its airlines' reputation for innovation. Major airlines have already expressed interest in Bélanger-Martin's proposed 'virtual window' technology, allowing passengers in middle seats to enjoy panoramic outside views through advanced display systems. Challenges Bélanger-Martin must navigate the complex regulatory landscape of Australian aviation. The country's stringent data privacy laws and the technical challenges of providing consistent connectivity over the Outback's vast, often empty expanses will test even his considerable expertise. Yet, if his track record is any indication, these obstacles are likely to spark even greater innovation. The potential impact extends far beyond the confines of aircraft cabins. Bélanger-Martin's work in inflight connectivity and entertainment systems has implications for remote education, telemedicine, and even disaster response in Australia's far-flung communities. As the sun sets on another day of frenetic activity at his Sydney office, Louis Bélanger-Martin pauses to reflect on the journey ahead. ' Australia isn't just another market, ' he muses, gazing at the harbour lights. ' It's a continent of storytellers and innovators, of dreamers who've always looked to the skies. Our job is to ensure that when they do, they see not just stars but boundless possibilities.' As passengers board flights across Australia, they may not know Louis Bélanger-Martin's name. But as they settle into their seats, plug into immersive worlds, or conduct business seamlessly at 30,000 feet, they'll be experiencing the future he envisioned – a future where the journey is just as extraordinary as the destination.

The Band CAMINO Announce Live Return To Australia & New Zealand: The NeverAlways Tour
Press Release – Frontier Touring Company The Band CAMINO is back and bigger than ever. MG Live and Frontier Touring are excited to announce the Nashville-based trio will make their highly anticipated return to Australia and New Zealand this summer, with the NeverAlways world tour: including five headline dates in February 2026 in Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Fremantle. Two years on from their first sold-out tour down under, today's news sees the band – Jeffery Jordan, Spencer Stewart, and Garrison Burgess – also officially announcing their forthcoming third studio album, NeverAlways, arriving July 25th via Atlantic Records (pre-order here). The 11-track collection is previewed today by new tracks and videos: 'Stupid Questions' and 'Hates Me Yet (222)'. ' Both 'Stupid Questions' and 'Hates Me Yet (222)' came from a similar headspace – that spiral you slip into when you care a little too much and think a little too hard,' explains Jeffery Jordan. ' We wanted these songs and their visuals to capture the way overthinking can feel both ridiculous and heavy at the same time… two sides to the same door, except one's a smirk and the other's a blow to the chest.' The band's NeverAlways headline tour kicks off in Atlanta, GA this October, starting with a 28-date North American run ahead of European dates in December, the Australian leg continuing through February 2026. For full routing and ticket information, please visit Tickets for the AU/NZ shows go on sale Friday 27 June (10am local time) via Frontier members can access early presale tickets via the promoter presale, starting Wednesday 25 June (10am local time).

The forthcoming album also features collaborators Jonah Shy (Role Model, Shawn Mendes) & Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan, Gracie Abrams). ' All at once, the music is the juxtaposition of who we've been, where we're going, and where we're headed,' Jordan continues. ' We wouldn't have made this record five years ago. It's a perfect snapshot of what we're listening to, how our tastes have matured, and how we've evolved. We're continuing to take people on a journey.' The Band CAMINO has amassed nearly 1 billion career streams, sold out global headline tours, and received critical acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard and more.
