How to get Pulp tickets for 2025 UK tour
Ready for another dose of Britpop nostalgia? Pulp have just announced a summer arena tour of the UK, including two dates at London's O2 Arena.
The Sheffield group, fronted by Jarvis Cocker, will be hitting the road in June, shortly before fellow 90s giants Oasis kick off their own reunion tour.
Pulp have not performed in Britain since their much-hyped comeback in 2023, so there is likely to be a frantic, Oasis-style scramble for tickets. Here's everything you need to know about this summer's tour.

Pulp's new tour, titled 'You Deserve More', will kick off Glasgow's OVO Arena on 7 June.
The Britpop icons, best known for hits Common People and Disco 2000, will then head to London for two nights at the O2 Arena. They will also entertain fans at Birmingham's Utilita Arena and Manchester's Co-op Live.
Tickets for the 2025 dates will go on sale via Ticketmaster at 9:30am on Friday, 21 February, following a presale on Tuesday, 18 February. They will be priced between £53.60 and £99.
See their full list of UK arena shows below:
7 June – Glasgow, OVO Hydro
13 June – London, The O2
14 June – London, The O2
19 June – Birmingham, Utilita Arena
21 June – Manchester, Co-op Live
It is currently unclear whether Pulp's tour will coincide with a new album. The group debuted various new songs during their 2023 tour, and they were reported to have recorded fresh material in london last summer. Their most recent LP, We Love Life, was released in 2001.
In a new statement, frontman Cocker said: "You deserve more – and we have more. In fact, we have more – but that's a whole other story… you'll have to wait a little more time to hear that one. In the meantime: see you this summer!"
Pulp's UK tour will end a week before Glastonbury Festival, which has sparked speculation that the band could headline the event.
The band last played at Worthy Farm as part of a secret set in 2011, and headlined in both 1995 and 1998. However, their only confirmed UK festival date so far is a homecoming show at Sheffield's Tramlines Festival on 25 July.
They will also play at Spanish festival Bilbao BBK Live, which will take place between 10 and 12 July.

Personal touches, secret messages: Behind the scenes of making Caitlin Clark's new Wilson basketballs
If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission. Pricing and availability are subject to change. INDIANAPOLIS – Caitlin Clark's favorite color is blue. Outside of the gym, she's happiest being on the water or a golf course. She says the same thing to teammate Aliyah Boston before every Indiana Fever game. When you buy one of the basketballs in Clark's new line from Wilson, you're not just getting a ball. You're getting a glimpse of Clark herself. Advertisement The colors, the patterns, the detailing — all are the result of months-long conversations between Clark and Wilson's design team about who she is, what she likes and what messages she wants to send to young fans. 'It was a really fun process for me to go through,' Clark told USA TODAY Sports. 'It's things that are super important to me and all very different things, too, throughout my life. So hopefully they can make an impact on whoever's going to pick the ball up.' Clark joined Michael Jordan as the only athletes with full basketball collections for Wilson, signing a multiyear sponsorship deal in May 2024 with the official manufacturer of basketballs for the WNBA, NBA and NCAA. In part because of the short turnaround time before the release of her first signature ball last October, Clark's first line leaned heavily into history. The records she broke at Iowa. Her historic rookie season with the Fever. But Clark and Wilson knew they wanted future lines to be more personal, reflecting who Clark is as a person as much as a player. Advertisement 'She's actually influencing this. It's not just people at Wilson picking the design,' said Hudson Vantrease, director of product design at Wilson. 'We never wanted to just put her name on a ball and call it a day,' he added. 'We want to tell the most compelling story, and having her as part of that is a positive to it.' Wilson invited USA TODAY Sports to attend the design team meeting in April where Clark saw the finished basketballs for the first time. The design team also gave USA TODAY Sports a behind-the-scenes look at the collaboration process with Clark for the latest collection, which will be released June 23. There are four balls in the collection, and they differ in both purpose (one is an indoor-only ball, one is outdoor-only and two can be used either indoors or outdoors) and price point. One, the Embrace, is an Evo NXT basketball, meaning it has the same construction as a regulation W ball and could be used in official games. Advertisement 'Awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome,' Clark said when she walked into the Fever's practice gym and saw the four new basketballs. 'You guys killed it.' Caitlin Clark poses with basketballs from the second edition of her signature collection with Wilson Sporting Goods. The new line of four basketballs -- the Aspire, the Embrace, the Envision and the Oasis -- will be available June 23. The team responsible for developing Clark's line has about a dozen core members. They met with Clark at last year's All-Star Game and got her initial thoughts about the collection, including what a young Caitlin Clark would have wanted. 'I think she said a blue ball,' said Haley Reines, the product line manager at Wilson. Afterward, Reines and product designer Julia Muscarello sent Clark a detailed questionnaire, asking her everything from her favorite color to her hobbies outside of basketball to what she'd be if she wasn't a basketball player (chef). They also monitored social media, taking note of Clark's clothes — there's an Instagram account devoted to her fits — and what she does off the court. Advertisement 'I don't want to say borderline stalking, but yeah,' Muscarello said with a laugh. 'I was trying to stay on the Caitlin pulse.' Those answers and details drove the design process, which involved 'hundreds' of hours. Christopher Rickert, the senior director of global production at Wilson, said the team began with 50 design ideas and whittled them down. Sometimes the color wasn't right. Sometimes the pattern didn't work. Sometimes what seemed like a great idea on paper didn't quite translate into reality. When the team had 10 ideas, they sent the designs to Clark for her thoughts. There were further tweaks, and prototypes were made to make sure the designs looked the same on an actual basketball as they did in drawings. Advertisement The four designs ultimately chosen for this year's line all have very different looks, but there's a commonality to all of them. Clark. 'Whenever I do something, I want to make it the best product possible for people. But also I feel like this is an easy way for me to connect with my fans,' Clark said of being so involved in the design process. 'I want it to feel very personal for them, too. They can connect with me, not just by watching me on TV or coming and buying a ticket to a game.' Take the Oasis ball, which can be used indoors and outdoors. Clark told Reines and Muscarello her favorite color is blue, she likes pastels and her happy places are the water and golf course. So the panels of the Oasis ball are white and light blue, and the light blue panels have what looks like pink and green splashes of paint but is actually an abstract drawing of a golf course. Advertisement Clark picked up on it right away when she saw the ball. 'That looks like a hole on a golf course!' she exclaimed. Light blue is also the shade used for the pattern on the Envision, an outdoor ball. At first glance, it looks like a maze, but it's really the words 'DREAM BIG.' That phrase is also on the Aspire, an indoor/outdoor ball that at first appears to be white or grey. Put it in the sunlight, however, and the phrases 'Dream Big,' 'Keep Going' and 'You're Going to Be Amazing Because You Are Amazing' emerge in bold, Fever-red letters. That last phrase is what Clark says to Boston before every game. Advertisement 'See, she loves it!' Clark said, pointing to a picture of her and Boston on the bench that was on the design team's planning whiteboard. 'We'll get her a free basketball. She'll love it. I'm going to put it in her locker.' The second edition of Caitlin Clark's signature basketball line with Wilson Sporting Goods launches June 23. Clark was personally involved in choosing the designs of the (shown left to right) Envision, Embrace, Oasis and Aspire balls. Because the Embrace is an official basketball, it cannot have any obvious detailing. Look closely, though, and you can see a pattern — again, light blue — within the Wilson logo and in what looks like a sunburst around the airhole. Both are the visual representation of the decibel level at a Fever game; the Wilson team took an audio file of the sound and made a graphic out of it. 'Fans really admire how she just plays so well under pressure,' Muscarello said. 'Sometimes it's OK to embrace the noise.' Advertisement Though Clark had been involved in every step of the design process, seeing the basketballs on a computer screen is very different than holding the finished product. Clark picked up each of the basketballs and examined it, taking note of the different details. She spun each ball and shifted it from one hand to the other. She also studied the design team's whiteboards, pointing to some of the notes and photos. Though she initially seemed most taken by the Oasis ball, she was fascinated with the Envision's UV technology and said she'd have loved to have had a basketball that revealed 'secret' messages when she was a kid. She also was impressed that Wilson's design team was able to turn a decibel meter reading into a design. Advertisement 'They're all unique in their own way. They all have different things I love about them,' Clark said. 'I think they each serve their own purpose and are different. Caitlin Clark takes a shot with the Embrace basketball from her latest collection with Wilson Sporting Goods. The ball features a graphic of the decibel level at an Indiana Fever game last season. 'So I guess you have to buy 'em all!' she added, laughing. While there will be some fans who buy the whole collection, whether to use or keep as memorabilia, Clark was conscious of not pricing any fans out of the new line. Two of the balls are less than $50, with the outdoor Envision ball costing $27.95 and the Oasis indoor ball priced at $49.95, while the Aspire outdoor ball is $54.95. The Embrace, which is Wilson's premium Evo NXT basketball, costs $124.95. Advertisement All the balls will be available on Wilson's website and at retail sporting goods stores. Last year's collection sold out almost immediately and, given the appetite for all things Clark, it's a good bet this one will, too. 'It's kind of cool to see how the balls came back and they feel very 'me,'' Clark told USA TODAY Sports. 'That's what I love about it. I feel like I'm sharing part of my life and my journey with people. "I could have never dreamed (as a child) to have something like this," she added. "It's pretty special."

Oasis Fever Hits Sotheby's: 'Liam + Noel' Portrait Set to Fetch $2 Million USD
Summary With theLive '25tour kicking off next month, it's safe to say:Oasis Feveris back in full swing. Britpop nostalgia is back in the air and theElizabeth Peytondouble-portrait of the Gallagher brothers couldn't have arrived atSotheby'sin better timing. The 1996 painting is among the headlining works at the house's contemporary art auction in London on June 24, expecting to fetch £1.5 – £2 million GBP ($2.03 – $2.71 million USD). Created in the aftermath of their Knebworth Park shows, which made history as the UK's largest live concert,Liam + Noel (Gallagher)was based on a photographer of the brothers taken by Stefan De Batselier just a year before. The painting belongs to a pivotal series within Peyton's oeuvre surrounding the brothers, one of which sold for $4.1 million USD last year. Here we see the two tracksuit-clad brothers in an tight embrace, yet beneath the matching mod cuts, full brows and rosy cheeks is the quiet tension of their professional-private sibling dynamic. 'It is a press image,' Sotheby's specialist Antonia Garnder toldThe Guardian. 'They've got their arms around each other, but you can feel that sort of slight tension within it. It feels so prescient, knowing now how it all ended up' Just as the indie duo soar into pop stardom, so too did Peyton whose soft and moody paintings solidified her title as one of the most defining American portraitists of the era. Known for her portraits of pop icons,Liam + Noel (Gallagher)embodies her ability to rescue pop faces from the oppressive pressure of the spotlight and instead, present them with a tender, raw radiance. The painting will be on view ahead of the auction at Sotheby's London galleries from June 18 through 24. For more information on the upcoming sale, head to the house'swebsite.

Yes, George Clooney Has Seen The Pitt — Here's What the ER Vet Had to Say About Noah Wyle's New Medical Show
TV's erstwhile Dr. Ross speaks highly of Dr. Robby: During an appearance on Monday's Late Night With Seth Meyers, George Clooney sang ER co-star Noah Wyle's praises, marveling at his performance in the Max medical drama The Pitt. 'Have you guys seen that show?' Clooney asked Meyers' audience. 'It's so good, and I have to say: We've been really dear friends since [ER] — since we did the pilot of the show. He is just the most honorable, talented young man, [which] I get to say because I'm an old man, and I cannot be happier for his success on the show. The show is just a beautiful show, and he does just a great job with it.' More from TVLine The Pitt's Noah Wyle & Co.
