Jarvis Cocker invents cave concerts because touring got weird and honestly? Icon behavior.
“Beyond the Pale” was written (& partially recorded) in front of a live audience, so it feels extra-strange not to be able to take it on the road at the moment. Fortunately, our friends Iain & Jane suggested a way round the problem: set up our equipment in a cave & they would film the results. We have invented a new way of playing a concert.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The cave is Peak Cavern in Castleton, Derbyshire — the same county where Jarvis grew up, making this unexpectedly homecoming-core.
Forsyth & Pollard previously directed '20,000 Days on Earth' with Nick Cave; they're specialists in making rock stars exist beautifully in spaces.
