Pulp What Do You Do For An Encore first look teaser released

MUBI has debuted the first-look teaser trailer and official poster artwork for PULP: What Do You Do For An Encore?, offering fans an enticing initial glimpse at Garth Jennings’ upcoming concert documentary. The brief preview showcases the electrifying energy of the Sheffield icons on stage, setting the tone for a one-night-only theatrical preview in UK and Irish cinemas on 18 September 2026, followed by releases in Canada on 23 September and the US on 24 September.

Narrated by frontman Jarvis Cocker, the teaser highlights the film’s blend of energetic live footage from the group’s triumphant 2025 tour alongside previously unseen archival material. The preview offers a taste of the show’s 20-song setlist, framing the band’s decades-long journey from outsiders to britpop legends with Cocker’s trademark wit and sharp social commentary.

Directed by Jennings (Sing, Son of Rambow), who also directed the group’s 2023 and 2025 live shows, the film captures the theatrical flair and emotional resonance that define Pulp’s performances. The teaser offers a window into Jennings’ intimate approach, showing how four decades of band history have been woven together to celebrate Britain’s most beloved misfits.

The teaser release marks the official countdown to the autumn launch, giving audiences their first preview of the project before it arrives exclusively on MUBI later this year following its limited big-screen run.
