Supergrass, just me?

[plaskins]

I'll be there. Only seen them once. So many great songs!

[Troop Dogg]

I'll be there for Supergrass, one of my top 5 bands of all time! 

[WforWill]

I’m really looking forward to seeing Supergrass for the first time. Have been watching their performances from the pyramid in 2004, looks like it was a blast! Where do we reckon they’ll be on?

Supposedly opening the pyramid.

Not supposed - self confirmed. 

 

Can think of few ways I'd rather start the weekend!

[Ben7amin_]

I used to love them and kind of forgot about them slightly to young for there heyday but caught them when I was at uni on the road to rouen tour was great fun from what I remember. 

 

Sounds like the tour is In celebration of I should Coco which is a great album.

I always loved Supergrass back in "the day" and only got to see them once.  I was beyond excited that they got back together to tour and then Covid f**ked 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 sh*t. Searching here, seems no one gives a f**k either.  Is it just me?

I love Supergrass, first saw them in 1994 on their first tour with the Bluetones, 3 quid on the door!

Can't wait to see them opening the pyramid in June, they never get the acclaim they deserve with some absolutely brilliant albums and iconic tunes.

[Toilet Duck]

They were fantastic in 2022...back to back bangers for an hour, so expect something similar!

[cheesey_toastie]

I've seen them twice in recent years and Gaz Coombes solo twice too. They are always fantastic live - I think they are a great Pyramid act to have, lots of universally loved songs and great energy. 

[Stokesy10]

Cannot wait for this, they're on my "100% seeing" list. 

 

Saw them back in 2009 I believe in B'ham and they were fantastic. Always been a fan. I recently went through a shuffle of their back catalogue for a good hour and a half. There were stacks of tracks I'd totally forgotten about which I love, and many which I hadn't realised were Supergrass. Made me even more excited. A fantastic Pyramid opener, if the rumours are true.

 

One thing that has popped into my head from the 2009 gig, is how much the drummer looked like a young Macca. I need to check this. Other influences may have been at play...🤣

Hmm I wonder if we could get a Gaz Coombes solo set somewhere too? 

[Ayrshire Chris]

Saw them at the Pilton Party in 2019. They were tremendous. Think it was their first gig for a long time.

That tour was early 1995. We saw them too at the Astoria 2, Ash did a secret support and my mates met Jarvis at the bar while I was watching Ash. We'd seem them in Sept 1994 supporting Ride at the Albert Hall, a great band and always fantastic live.

see you there I reckon .... as I did at PP in 19 

[SPW]

Not a huge fan but think they are alright and moreover they are an ideal afternoon festival set imo. Subject to shifts, I will very likely go and see them. Always find it a bit odd that those early/opening sets are not on iplayer. Squeeze last year would have been popular among those not there in person, I'd imagine, and Supergrass also.

Ditto - they were really really good - better than I expected in truth as I was never the biggest fan but it felt like I knew every tune.

It was. I had tickets for the Boardwalk in Manchester. Couldn’t go because of a stomach bug. My mates who did go not only saw the gig but played table football with Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce from The Smiths. Still rankles TBH 😂
