Britpop icons Pulp have announced their first North American tour in 12 years. Last year the band reunited for dates in the UK and Europe, but have been performing on this side of the Atlantic since 2012. There are two dates each on each coast and one in Canada. tickets go on sale this Friday, March 22nd at 10am local time. See all dates below.

Pulp formed in 1978 when frontman Jarvis Cocker was just 15, but didn't really hit it off until the 1990s when they became one of the central bands of the Britpop movement alongside Blur, Oasis and Suede and had iconic songs. such as 'Common People', 'Sorted for E's & Wizz', 'Mis-Shapes', 'Babies', 'Do You Remember the First Time?', 'Disco 2000' and 'This Is Hardcore'. The band's last album was in 2001 We love Life and then they broke up the following year. The band reformed in 2011 for some concerts, and in 2013 released the only single, “After You”, produced by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. Last year, the band's bass player, Steve Mackey, died after a battle with cancer, and their concerts are dedicated to him.

Cocker said in a press release: “Well, the encore continues. The songs have come back to life and want to be heard. They must be heard. Come out and have fun with us. You deserve it. Yes. You do.”
