Supergrass kicked off proceedings on the Pyramid Stage this afternoon as they celebrated their hit debut album ‘I Should Coco’.
This month marks exactly 30 years since the release of their seminal album – which coincides with the anniversary of the band’s first Glastonbury appearance in 1995. After they performed at Worthy Farm that year, ‘I Should Coco’ went on to hit Number One and sell over 500,000 copies in the UK.
30 years on, they opened up Pyramid Stage at midday today (Friday June 27) where they performed multiple hits from the album. After playing ‘I’d Like to Know’, ‘Caught by the Fuzz’ and ‘Mansize Rooster’, they then broke out into their hit single ‘Alright’. This was when technical problems hit BBC iPlayer, to the demise of fans watching throughout the country.
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.

The brief issues were quickly sorted and the broadcast returned as lead singer, Gaz Coombes, addressed the large crowd: “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.”
Coombes continued, reflecting on their first Glasto’ appearance 3 decades ago: “30 years ago – 1995. A long time ago. Who’d have guessed? We came in by chopper.”
Although the performance was predominantly a celebration of the Oxford-based band’s debut album, they did also play hits from deeper in their discography.

Supergrass marked the 30th anniversary of ‘I Should Coco’ with a UK tour in May where they visited Glasgow, Nottingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Leeds, London and finally Cornwall.
Speaking about the tour after it was first announced, 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.”
