Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker is set to give a talk at the Southbank Centre in London this May.
Joined by artist Gavin Turk, the pair will deliver speeches on ‘What Celebrity Does to Identity’.
The event, which takes place on 24 May at 7.45pm, will be hosted by journalist Miranda Sawyer.
The press release has the following blurb:
“Both of these people are famous. But what does that really mean, and how do reputations develop and change over time? How do you keep hold of who you really are and continue to make fresh and original art and music?”
