Supergrass, just me?

[4AssedMonkey]

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 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?

[MrZigster]

Not just you. Me also. Very few must sees but Supergrass are one of them.

[ClementsMike]

No. I saw them in the old days and then saw them on the reunion , it was my last pre Covid gig in March 2020.

They are excellent live and have an awesome catalogue of songs. 

[spaniyell]

I'm in!

I went to see them in Manchester just before the lockdowns came in, awful warehouse venue, but a fantastic set!  Open the Other Stage on Friday!  I double dare them!

[March Hare]

They put on a good show at IoW in 2021

Plenty in the crowd too

[4AssedMonkey]

I was late to them to be honest.  Thought the debut album was average and hated Alright (still do).  Everything after that though was incredible.  Moving and Richard III are such great songs on every level.  Gaz Coombes solo stuff is also brilliant.  In fact, I'd say he's probably one of the most underrated songwriters of the last 25 years.

Agreed. 

[Simsy]

Saw them at victorious last year, great fun. Someone in front of me was air-bongoing along to Richard III, which I assume means they misspent their youth playing donkey konga 😂

[squirrelarmy]

I think they’ll be Alright

[Watergirl]

Yes, me too. I have an album but never got to see them back in the day.

Definitely not just you. There’s 16 of our regular Glasto crew coming this year and every one of the will see Supergrass. Have seen them many times, always great. Gaz on his own in William’s Green back in 2014 (I think?) was great as well. Thoroughly looking forward to them! 

[CrystalPalace]

Seen them twice since reunion once at South Facing Festival and at Brixton 

both times they were cracking. Will see them at Glastonbury 

[SouthbanKen]

Not a must see, but after the excellent show they put on at the Pilton Party a definite option depending on where I am and who else is on. Never owned any of there stuff but still plenty of bangers for the casual fan to have a real bop to. 

[gfa]

I almost saw them at Latitude last year but they were at midday after a late night, so I stayed at camp. Definitely would like to see them, Alright has to be one of my favourite songs of all time

[Stokesy10]

They're on my "want to see" list rather than my "100% seeing" - really hope there's no clashes. A good handful of our group will be in the same boat. Saw them at Arctic Monkeys LCCC show in 2007 and they were bloody brilliant.

If I remember correctly the drummer looks weirdly like a young Macca.

[TheDayman]

Saw them at Lansdowne Road back in 2000 when they were supporting Oasis. Class gig.

22 years on and I'll be doing my best to see them again at the farm.

[KidneyTerra]

Must see for me. They’ll play a set of bangers, all thriller no filler.

[cdm22]

On the barrier for their Roadmender Northampton gig early April and then saw Gaz Coombes at the Lexington in London a couple of weeks later. Both awesome gigs and will definitely be seeing them at Glastonbury too.

Quite liked them back in the day - 'In It For The Money' was a great album. Only saw them once though - supporting Oasis in 1997. Hope to catch them on the farm, but it'll depend who's on elsewhere 

[Wooderson]

First two records are a hit-fest. Tight harmz from Mick. Danny a gifted drummer. Should be a whopper.

In 2004, The Libertines cancelled at short notice probably to do with drugs.  Then their replacement turned up, stopping the rain and making a rainbow appear and playing a storming set, including a very rousing acoustic version of Caught By The Fuzz.  Most excellent times were had by all.

[Lubic]

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.

And Moving. Just as good as anything on the first two records.
