According to a series of tweets from an attendee at a Guardian-hosted live Q&A event, the Common People singer called a clip “deliberately cryptic” before he revealed the band’s plans to “play some concerts”.

He told the crowd on Monday night (25th July): “It was deliberately cryptic. It’s a line from This is Hardcore... Next year, Pulp are going to play some concerts.”

The video in question was shared on social media last week and posed the question: "What exactly do you do for an encore".
