Supergrass celebrated seminal album ‘I Should Coco’ at their Glastonbury 2025 set – check out footage and the setlist below.
Kicking off proceedings over at the Pyramid Stage this afternoon (June 27), frontman Gaz Coombes addressed the Worthy Farm crowd, saying it was a “privilege and an honour to be opening this beautiful stage with you on a Friday.”
After performing ‘I’d Like to Know’, ‘Caught by the Fuzz’ and ‘Mansize Rooster’, fans watching along at home noticed the BBC iPlayer stream cut out right as their biggest hit, ‘Alright’, began. After a brief technical interlude, they returned to screens with Coombes once again talking to the crowd.
Nodding to the 30th anniversary of their debut ‘I Should Coco’, which they marked with a UK tour last month, he said: “So pretty much 31, 30 years ago, we made this mad little record called ‘I Should Coco’, and we’re gonna be playing most of it for you this afternoon.”
So, BBC iPlayer shut down midway through Supergrass doing 'Alright'. 😧
Did they think Kneecap were about to start playing? 😬
Went back on and Pyramid Stage stream was gone, but the signed version was still going.

Supergrass opening up the Pyramid Stage, very early on but this was a tumble weed moment, “sing it” Gaz shouts. A deathly silence occurs. #Glastonbury2025 pic.twitter.com/mBelfWu6JC

After they performed at Glastonbury in 1995, the year of the album’s release, it hit Number One and sold over 500,000 copies in the UK, becoming the biggest-selling debut album from Parlophone Records since The Beatles.
Nodding to their set that year, Coombes told today’s crowd they were going to play one they didn’t that year in ‘Sofa (Of My Lethargy)’, which was followed by tracks including ‘Richard III’, ‘Late in the Day’ and ‘Mary’.
“30 years ago – 1995,” reflected Coombes onstage. “A long time. Who’d have guessed? We came in by chopper.”
Fans watching along said that despite the awkwardly timed midday slot, the band did a “grand job” kicking off proceedings”. Others took to social media to say the set was “superb”, and “a throw back to when that festival was the best”.
#Supergrass absolutely brilliant and belting it out @glastonbury 👍… Far more deserving than a 12pm slot on the Fri though

Watching Supergrass at Glastonbury and it’s a throw back to when that festival was the best. Looking at the underwhelming lineup for this year and thinking of queuing up half the day for drinks or food. Fuck that craic, knees and back is sore already.

Supergrass at Glastonbury reminds me of 95 when sat cross-legged on the ground skinning up waiting for their set on the NME stage, and looking up to find the Channel 4 live coverage camera on an extendable boom hovering directly over me. #caughybythefuzz

Speaking about their 2025 tour late last year, frontman Gaz Coombes told NME: “It’s cool, man. It’s been about a year in the making. It’s just such a great record and really means a lot to us.
“The great thing about it is that this record is part of our DNA. It’s mad that 30 years later, we’re still able to pull off that energetic, youthful chemistry on stage and read each other in that way. Although it’s a 30-year-old record, we all feel really connected to it.”
The Britpop icons split in 2010, before announcing their return in 2019 on a mission to “bring joy into a slightly disturbed world”. They were then on a hiatus since 2022, following them playing at the Taylor Hawkins tribute show at Wembley Stadium.
