Jarvis Cocker has shared a mysterious post on Instagram, prompting fans to wonder whether a Pulp reunion could be on the cards.

The 15-second clip is soundtracked by rapturous applause, while the words “What exactly do you do for an encore?” appear on screen. The line is from the title track of Pulp’s 1998 album "This Is Hardcore," which is set to reach its 25th anniversary next year.

“Good question...” Cocker captioned the post, followed by the hashtag “# overtoyou."

“Wait, is this a reunion post?” One Instagram user responded, while another wrote: “25 years since this is hardcore next year..... tour?" Yes? Please say yes.”

The seminal Sheffield band announced their last reunion in November 2010 – featuring the Different Class line-up of Cocker, Russell Senior, Candida Doyle, Nick Banks, Steve Mackey, and Mark Webber – and went on to play a number of shows, including a now legendary surprise set at Glastonbury 2011 and a headline slot at Reading & Leeds that year.
