Supergrass announce 30th anniversary reunion tour

On September 17, 2024, 9:32 PM

Supergrass have announced a reunion tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album.

The ten-date tour next year will be the first time the Oxford band, who split in 2010 but reunited in 2020, have ever played their debut album I Should Coco live in its entirety.

The album reached number one on the UK album charts on its release on 15 May 1995, and features tracks including Alright and Caught by the Fuzz.

Announcing the tour, the band took aim at fellow Britpop icons Oasis and the recent furore surrounding ticket sales for the Manchester-rockers’ comeback shows.

“Dynamic pricing not included,” they added, referring to a policy that saw the cost of some tickets to the upcoming Oasis gigs double due to high demand.

The anniversary tour will open at Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom on Thursday 8 May 2025.

Shows in Nottingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Leeds, London and Cornwall all then follow in the same month.

Gaz Coombes, Mick Quinn and Danny Goffey formed Supergrass in 1993, with Rob Coombes also later becoming a permanent member of the group.

I Should Coco sold more than one million copies worldwide.

It includes various references to the band’s home city of Oxford throughout – including the song Strange Ones, which was written about the Cowley Road.

Supergrass went on to release five more studio albums between 1997 and 2008, including In It For The Money and Life on Other Planets.

Tickets for the 30th anniversary tour go on sale on Friday at 10:00 BST, with a presale beginning two days earlier at the same time.
