To anyone going, please convince Supergrass to play more than this one-off, I still miss them. 

I'd say the #Supergrass2020 hints at more to come from them next year

Hope everyone’s having fun on the hallowed grounds! 

[Guest]

Utterly superb night. Very special.

You can make out the illuminati pyramid hat

Hello to all I bumped into tonight ... see you back there in June  .... slight technical issues with one screen and with me shutting a cable in a car door ... but will all be sorted by the 50th  cf

Ha, that's me saying aren't you some crazy fool ?

[Guest]

I also saw Crazyfool1 (let's face it, who didn't). At times it was difficult to determine which was stage and which was hat and once, when he was lined up with the screen, it looked like Wolf Alice were actually playing in the hat.

Good effort Sir.

Morning all ... Really enjoyed last night and it might have been a blessing in disguise security taking a couple of cans off me I risked going over the 6 can limit  ... hopefully managed to have a brief chat to everyone .....Representation from the efest community really seemed almost like a mini efest meet .... did anyone get any photos of the actuall gig ? I mistakenly locked my phone after ringing my folks accidentally in my pocket several times  ... dont think they were too impressed in Heathrow departure lounge !! ... Just a Shame I didn't manage to bump into Michael or Emily .... My plan was to ask about Elton John on the hat and whilst dazzled get some info out of them ....

So where do people think Supergrass will play at Glastonbury?

tricky one to place, I think. Other, subbing? Park, headlinging, or a mid afternoon Pyramid slot. Hard to see how much demand for them there is, very fondly remembered by some, but far from a huge draw, I reckon.

Weird fit for Park though. John Peel headline or evening Other. Other opener would work too, right?

yer man from Supergrass has played the Park before, hasn't he? 

[Mardy]

and it seems to have form for 'are they big? not really sure, been around for a bit, possibly been away for a bit, sort of well known crowd pleasers but not for the young folk' bands

Flaming Lips

Super Furries

I'd put Supergrass in the same category as those two, who've both been fairly recent Park headliners

But y'know, fuck knows really.

[Gnomicide]

I was thinking Park or JP headliners but they could crop up almost anywhere, Other openers, Pyramid daytime?

Absolutely no idea on the demand to see them, it was pretty much an open secret they were playing Pilton Party and that doesn't seem to have sold well this year but is that more to do with Wolf Alice not being as big as people may have thought?

[The Nal]

3rd down on Pyramid maybe. They're an odd one to judge alright. Have the tunes but they're quite loose and take the piss a bit. Think the Park might be too small for them. Gaz played there in the afternoon in 2015 and it was fairly busy.

Wherever they play Ill be there. Chuffed they're back together.

Sure but I would say that his solo stuff is rather different to Supergrass and more befitting of the stage. And as The Nal says, too busy down there.

I think they'll be the Other openers, and I can see them getting a decent crowd there.

You make a compelling case there. Park headliner seems best to me too. I think it's forgotten years later, but at the time of their debut and singles, they were right up there with the biggest and best of Britpop. There was nothing unusual in placing them alongside Blur, Oasis and Pulp at the time.

The follow up albums were never bad exactly, but failed to have the same impact.

They've released some absolute crackers over the years, great band.

Slap bang in the middle of the Pyramid. 4.30, Saturday. Supergrass, that is.

Thanks  ... Just Elton John ... Bowie and Kiss collaberating at the moment ... all I could find in cheap imitation lego

So how were Supergrass last night from anyone who was there? 

Worth going to see on the inevitable tour?

All lit up with one screen out ... just like the real thing
