If you remember way back to 2014 when PUP revealed the semi-autobiographical video for Guilt Tripfrom their self-titled album, you’ll have seen actor Finn Wolfhard playing a young PUP vocalistStefan Babcock in the video. With PUP currently on tour in Europe unable to attend the Polaris Music Prize Gala, and Wolfhard finding international success as one of the leads in Netflix’s Stranger Things, he seemed the obvious choice to stand-in for the band at the awards gala as he addressed the audience via video.
And so as not to leave an empty table at the gala, PUP also sent their parents to attend the evening’s events, run their social media accounts (#PUPsParentsAtPolaris), and get drunk for them in their place.
Currently on tour in Europe, PUP will be returning to Australia for 6 shows including the Yours & Owls Festival as part of the world tour supporting their latest album, The Dream Is Over. TheBrisbane and both Melbourne shows all sold out and there are only a handful of Sydney tickets left.
