Would have liked to see them continue on in the direction they took on Road to Rouen, but they went all Muse-lite and then packed up. Good to see them back though, definitely on my must see list! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was beyond excited that they got back together to tour and then Covid fucked that into a cocked hat. They are one of my only 4 absolute must sees this year. BUT Almost nobody out of my mates, fellow Glasto goers, wife, colleagues etc. could give a flying shit. Searching here, seems no one gives a fuck either. Is it just me? 53 minutes ago, Lubic87 said: Don't know much by them other than the obvious songs, but enjoyed their IOW set on tv last year. Caught by the Fuzz went straight on a few of my playlists. Hoping to see them on the farm. Was the same til I saw them at South Facing last year. Have since got really into them- In it for the money is an incredible album, also loving the first album. I'm very excited for them at Glastonbury. Really hope they play a later show and not something like the 11am slot Edited May 19, 2022 by efcfanwirral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario man Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 If me & my cousin were at Glasto this year, Supergrass would be our no.1 must see. Absolutely love them and I’ve seen them at venues and festivals all over the country over the last 25 years. My last gig before lockdown was the first of their Ally Pally gigs & they were on superb form. It was almost 10 years since we saw their last UK gig before they split. I fully expected them to get a Park headline set like SFA in 2015 but it seems they will be elsewhere - I suspect Other, either the Friday opener or a sub-headliner. Hope they get a decent crowd.

Chicken Bob Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I saw them last year at Victorious for the first time and was blown away at how good they were. Will definitely be seeing them at glasto in a few weeks. Gaz’s voice is flawless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perks Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Do we think they'll be Other opener? I'll do me best to see them, always rock it, were class at Godiva last year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most excellent times were had by all. Interestingly when we got engaged my husband's cousin knowing we didn't like the usual twee crap that tend to be given as gifts for such occasions bought us tickets to go and see Supergrass and they were supported by The Libertines. They are not a must see for me but they are a very happy to see!! If they put some of their solo output in their set I'd be even happier. Gaz Coombs did some great stuff but Danny Goffey also had a really good album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner1990 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 A guy who was in the year below me at at school (and I'm friends with his brother) plays in Gaz Coombes' band when he tours solo....was very odd seeing him live on stage at The Park a few years ago!

Cleoclaptrap Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Didn't manage tickets for GF but I'm looking forward to seeing them at Lakefest in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyseven Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Great band. First saw them in September 1994 and again on early 1995. Didn't see them again until South Facing last year where they were great still. I'll be going to see them unless there's a clash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrump Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Are a definite for me (volunteer shifts allowing!). Reading this thread just as the radio starts pumping out Sun Hits the Sky. Meant to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, that slot just never fits into what I want to be doing, and Supergrass are FAR too good to be over and done with by midday on the Friday! I reckon they'll be later afternoon on Other - the Liam G slot maybe from 2017 (2019?). First band I ever crowdsurfed too, waaaaaay back.

One Tonne Baby Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Sun hits the sky was just on bbc 6 and made me well up for seeing them. Wouldn’t say I’m a massive fan outside of the hits but they are a decent band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soggy_feet Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Probably the band I had seen live the most when they originally split up. Really tempted to see them again but it depends on clashes as this year I am trying to stick to a plan of seeing bands I've never seen before. That plan will more than likely be tossed as soon as I walk through the gates though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmygod Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 They were always on my must see list and so was excited to see them opening the Obelisk Arena at Latitude on Saturday of last year. The crowd were well up for it as for most, it was one of the first live bands after the dark days of the lockdown. Trouble was that they clearly weren't as excited to be there as most of the crowd ( you know that clip of when Cure were inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame....that!). True they were musically spot on - brilliant voice, tight band, brilliant sound. It was just no banter with the crowd, no smiles of delight, seemingly just going through the motions. Maybe it was because they were playing so early during the day, maybe they were just having a bad day, but they didn't match expectations on the day in terms of atmosphere.

rubenz Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) I shall be there as never seen them live. Where will they play I wonder? Still got a cassette single of caught by the fuzz knocking about somewhere! Edited May 20, 2022 by rubenz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprefan Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Saw them last week. they still got it and I hadnt seen them since the last time they played in LA, which was the last time they were here anyway. Played all the hits so itll be a great time seeing them fit it all into an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_coholic Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I will be there, although I guess we haven't got any idea of where and what day yet. (2000th post 😀 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
