Britpop icons Supergrass have exciting news for their fans: in May 2025, they will embark on a special UK tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album, I Should Coco. Released in 1995, the album became an instant hit, earning the band a No. 1 spot on the UK Albums Chart and propelling them into stardom with tracks like “Alright” and “Caught by the Fuzz.” The tour marks the first time the band will perform the album in its entirety, offering fans a nostalgic journey back to the golden age of Britpop.
A debut album that defined britpop
I Should Coco was a groundbreaking release for the Oxford-based band, which includes Gaz Coombes (lead vocals and guitar), Mick Quinn (bass), Danny Goffey (drums), and Rob Coombes (keyboard). Featuring a mix of energetic punk-infused tracks and catchy pop hooks, the album was critically acclaimed and sold over a million copies worldwide. Its youthful exuberance was best encapsulated in the hit single “Alright,” which became a summer anthem of the 90s, while songs like “Mansize Rooster” and “Lenny” showcased the band’s unique fusion of glam rock and psychedelia.
Tour dates and details
The anniversary tour will begin on May 8, 2025, at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow, and will include stops in several major UK cities such as Nottingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff, and Leeds. The tour will culminate on May 22, 2025, with a much-anticipated headline show at the London Roundhouse, before wrapping up with a final performance at The Great Estate Festival in Cornwall on May 31.
Speaking about the anniversary, Mick Quinn reflected on the band’s excitement: “It means so much to us that record. 15th May 2025 marks 30 years since I Should Coco. Supergrass are thrilled to announce their return to perform the debut album live, in its entirety, for the first time”.
A long-awaited return
Supergrass initially reunited in 2019 after a nine-year hiatus, performing a series of live shows before taking part in the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert in 2022, where they played a memorable set featuring their classic hits “Alright” and “Caught By the Fuzz”. Since then, fans have been eagerly awaiting more from the band, and this tour promises to be a triumphant return.
