They have a new album coming out maybe in may and have performed at glasto before.
Anyone heard any rumours about them going?

[Langdale Wolf]

Not heard anything but a greatest hits set would be great.

Yes it would.  Love Supergrass and are great, energetic performers live.  Well, they were.  Not so sure about the bloke who broke his pelvis any more though....

Having seen said set at Truck last year I'd find it hard to concur. Thought they were absolutely lacklustre and one-paced. Maybe they simply thought it wasn't a big enough gig to put their all into it, I don't know.

I'd love to see Supergrass play, they've always been great when I've seen them live.

Walk around the Stone Circle hill on Wednesday/Thursday night, you might be able to buy some!

Saw the side project Hot Rats at Bestival last year and had to say that there was nothing wrong with Danny Goffey - his drumming was as tight as ever.

EDIT Except I'm talking up my ass, as it wasn't Danny who had the injury - ignore me!

Seemed to play Glasto every year at one point, so feel they have made a big enough contribution to be invited back.

Hot Rats did a secret set at the Park last year and despite some technical difficulties with antique guitars it was still great.  Mirror in the Bathroom was awesome, as was Love is the Drug.  Hope the "full" band do trun up this year.  It will be the 4th time I've seen them and they have never been a disappointment.

Yeah it was Mickey who had the sleepwalking accident, but that was a few years ago now & he's played plenty times with the band since then.

It seems from the Supergrass boards that the new album may have been put back to January 2011. I'm not sure if that will affect them playing dates this summer as they seem to play regardless of when material is released nowdays to be honest.

They're due a return to Glasto, 2004 was the last time we saw the full band. Hot Rats last year were superb

I've wanted to see Supergrass for years but never managed so I'd love to see them added to the lineup. Saw Hot Rats at Leeds last year and they were great

Drunk they may have been but so was I and it certainly didn't stop my enjoyment of them.

I saw that gig, the drummer Danny kept on shouting "Think of the children" or something along those lines. He had me in stitches throughout the whole gig with his banter. Your right, Mirror in the bathroom and love is the drug were amazing. Great fun!

[MEGABOWL]

Yes there is a chance

Make you right there DG.  They were terrible at Truck - and Ash weren't much better either.

Went to see them at the Regal in Oxford just before Christmas and they were on top form!!

[outlinereality]

Saw them at Sellindge last year - sadly, they didn't play Alright - I was gutted.
