The band announced this morning (September 16) that they’ll be celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album with a run of shows in May 2025, taking place in Glasgow, Nottingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Birmingham, Cardiff and Leeds, before a show at the Roundhouse in London.
They’ll be playing ‘I Should Coco’ in full, before an encore with some of their biggest hits. Bassist Mick Quinn said, “15th May 2025 marks 30 years since ‘I Should Coco’. Supergrass are thrilled to announce their return to perform the début album live, in its entirety, for the first time. Dynamic pricing not included.”
‘I Should Coco’ came out on May 15, 1995, and debuted at Number Three on the charts. Following Supergrass’ Glastonbury show later that summer, it hit Number One, and sold over 500,000 copies in the UK. With over a million sales worldwide, it’s the biggest-selling debut album from Parlophone Records since The Beatles.
Among the tracks on the album are ‘Caught By The Fuzz‘ and ‘Alright‘, with the latter peaking at Number Two on the charts.
Check out the full tour dates below, and find tickets here. They go on pre-sale from 10am on Wednesday (September 18), and on general sale from 9am on Friday (September 20).
The announcement follows a cryptic post the band made on Friday (September 13), which suggested a new announcement to come this morning.
Supergrass had been on hiatus since 2022, when they played at the Taylor Hawkins tribute show at Wembley Stadium. Shortly after their three-song set, Quinn wrote on X/Twitter that it would be the band’s last show for the “foreseeable future”. They’d played a series of festivals over that summer, as well as a run of UK dates.
Over the past couple of years, the members of the band had been working on their own projects, with frontman Gaz Coombes releasing his fourth solo album, ‘Turn The Car Around‘, in January last year. Quinn, meanwhile, is also part of the shoegaze band Swervedriver, who last released an album, ‘Future Ruins’, in 2019.
Coombes discussed the chances of a reunion with NME last year, too, saying, “Reunions can’t go on forever and they’ve got to have some sort of lifespan. It was always gonna be that year, we were gonna do everything in 2020.
“But because of what happened with the pandemic, obviously it got spread out into two and a half, almost three years which is pretty crazy. But it’s cool that it ended in a way where we could definitely look at the possibility of other shows down the line if it feels right and if everyone’s in the right place.”
