Supergrass 30th Anniversary UK Tour 2025
Supergrass UK Tour 2025 is marking the 30th anniversary of their landmark debut album, I Should Coco, with a much-anticipation this May. Released in 1995, the album catapulted the Oxford-born band to international fame, thanks to its infectious blend of Britpop energy and punk-infused melodies. The record featured era-defining anthems such as “Alright,” “Caught by the Fuzz,” and “Mansize Rooster,” all of which became staples of ’90s British music. With more than a million copies sold, I Should Coco remains the best-selling debut in Parlophone history since The Beatles—an achievement that continues to underscore Supergrass’s lasting impact on British rock.
A Full-Throttle Nostalgia Ride
The 2025 UK tour kicks off in Glasgow on May 8 and will travel to nine cities including Nottingham, Sheffield, Manchester, and London, before wrapping up with a festival performance in Cornwall on May 31. In a treat for fans, Supergrass will perform I Should Coco in its entirety at each date, followed by an encore packed with their biggest hits from later albums like In It for the Money and Road to Rouen.
This isn’t just another greatest-hits tour—it’s a deeply personal retrospective that showcases the album’s youthful urgency and captures the band’s evolution over three decades. As frontman Gaz Coombes noted in a recent interview, “We wanted to do something really special for this record. It changed our lives and connected us to so many people. We’re ready to play it like it’s 1995 again.”

Why I Should Coco Still Matters
Few debut albums have the cultural weight or enduring relevance of I Should Coco. Released at the height of the Britpop explosion, the record balanced youthful abandon with clever songwriting. Its frantic opener “Caught by the Fuzz” told a semi-autobiographical tale of teenage mischief, while “Alright” became a generational anthem of freedom and joy. Tracks like “She’s So Loose” and “Strange Ones” proved that beneath the chaos was a band with serious melodic chops.
The album still resonates because of its raw energy and complete lack of pretension. Unlike some Britpop peers, Supergrass never tried to ride the wave—they were the wave. Their music was cheeky but never shallow, confident without arrogance. Re-experiencing these songs in 2025 isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about reawakening that spirit of exuberance and rebellion that music today often forgets.
The Band’s Enduring Influence
Supergrass have always been more than a Britpop band. Their subsequent albums explored psychedelic rock, acoustic ballads, and post-punk textures. Despite splitting in 2010, their 2020 reunion tour reminded fans just how potent their live shows still are. Now, five years later, they’re revisiting the beginning—not to rest on their legacy, but to reinvigorate it.
Bassist Mick Quinn summed it up: “Playing this album in full is something we’ve never done. It’s exciting—and a bit surreal—but it’s going to be amazing sharing it with the fans who’ve supported us all this time.”
From critical acclaim to chart-topping success, the band has racked up numerous Brit and Ivor Novello Awards, and influenced countless acts across the UK indie scene. Their music continues to appear in films, TV, and ads, proving that their cultural cachet is far from over.
Ticket Info and Festival Appearance
Tickets for all shows are available through major outlets, including Ticketmaster and See Tickets. Fans should act quickly—several dates are expected to sell out. The tour’s final performance at The Great Estate Festival in Cornwall adds an extra dose of magic. Set against a backdrop of Victorian gardens and woodland, the festival offers the perfect setting to close the anniversary run.
Beyond the album celebration, this is a chance to see one of Britain’s most beloved bands reclaim their place at the heart of the live music scene. With new generations discovering them through streaming platforms and vinyl reissues, this tour could also introduce Supergrass to a wider audience than ever before.
Conclusion
Supergrass’s 30th Anniversary Tour is more than a trip down memory lane—it’s a powerful reminder of their legacy and continued relevance. Whether you’re a day-one fan or discovering them for the first time, these shows will deliver pure energy, cheeky charm, and timeless tunes. I Should Coco didn’t just soundtrack the ’90s—it shaped it. Now, it’s ready to take over 2025. Expect roaring singalongs, festival-worthy anthems, and the same raw spirit that made Supergrass one of the UK’s most beloved live bands. With a setlist packed full of hits, this tour proves that great music never gets old—it just gets louder
