About This Event

Pulp are bringing their Britpop brilliance to Wythenshawe Park on Friday 28 August 2026, kicking off at 16:30. It's a proper chance to catch one of the '90s' most iconic bands in one of Manchester's finest outdoor settings, with Jarvis Cocker's distinctive vocals and the band's unmistakable swagger still firing on all cylinders. Whether you're a devoted fan or fancy rediscovering their catalogue of hits, this is a gig worth pencilling in your diary.

Wythenshawe Park is a cracking venue that's beloved by Mancunians for its sprawling green space and relaxed atmosphere. The park itself is stunning, with beautiful gardens and plenty of room to move around, making it ideal for a summer music event where you can actually breathe and enjoy the surroundings. It's got that proper Manchester feel—casual, friendly, and unpretentious.

Getting there is straightforward; there's good bus routes serving the area and the car park is decent-sized if you're driving. Bring a blanket or camp chair, grab some food from the vendors on site, and arrive early enough to bag a decent spot on the grass. The August weather should be warm, so factor in sun cream and maybe a light jacket for later in the evening.
