Pulp drummer Nick Banks has responded to rumours of a ‘Different Class’ 30th anniversary tour.Today (May 10), a fan page for the Sheffield band shared a poster teasing some special live shows celebrating their fifth studio album – which was released in 1995, and contains the hits ‘Common People’ and ‘Disco 2000’.The advert features the ‘Different Class’ cover artwork and claims that a “30th anniversary tour” will be taking place in October 2025. “Tickets on Sale.

No exact dates or venues appear on the poster.Banks has since reshared the image on X/Twitter, seemingly confirming that it is fake. “What’s this all about??” he wrote. “News to me.”Despite the musician having shut down the claims, numerous fans in the replies have suggested that a run of ‘Different Class’ dates is a good idea. “Go on Nick, make it happen,” one commented.Another person said: “I’m afraid it’s legally binding.” A third responded: “Book it and they will come.” You can see Banks’ post below.What’s this all about??
