Supergrass are bringing the 30th anniversary celebration of their chart-topping and Mercury-nominated debut album I Should Coco to Halifax for a massive outdoor show.
The BRIT and Ivor Novello award winners will headline TK Maxx presents Live at The Piece Hall on Saturday August 16. Fans will get the chance to see I Should Coco performed in full, before an encore of the band’s greatest hits.
Supergrass will be joined on the night by very special guests and fellow Mercury-nominees Sports Team.
Tickets for this very special show go on sale at 9.30am on Friday November 29 from thepiecehall.co.uk and ticketmaster.co.uk
The Halifax date is announced just weeks after Supergrass revealed they would be playing a series of special anniversary shows across the UK in 2025.
The band – Gaz Coombes, Mick Quinn, Danny Goffey and Rob Coombes – are one of the most important to emerge during the 1990s. Formed in Oxford in 1993, their accomplishments include several million record sales, six Top 10 albums and 10 Top 20 singles.
With a Brit and Ivor Novello awards to their name, huge praise has also been given from the likes of Q and NME, with the latter giving I Should Coco a near-perfect 9/10.
The album features classic tracks Alright and Caught By the Fuzz and retains huge cultural influence 30 years on from its release. The album sold more than a million copies worldwide and remains the biggest-selling debut album released on the iconic Parlophone label since The Beatles’ Please Please Me in 1963.
Supergrass went on to release five more studio albums between 1997 and 2008, including In It For The Money and Life on Other Planets. They delighted their adoring fans when they returned from a 10-year hiatus in 2020.
Six-piece rock outfit Sports Team met at Cambridge University and quickly became standouts in the London scene on the back of their highly acclaimed live shows.
They already have two Top Five UK albums under their belts – Deep Down Happy and Gulp! – with eagerly awaited third LP Boys These Days set for release in February.
The Supergrass show is presented by Cuffe and Taylor and The Piece Hall Trust.
Nicky Chance-Tompson MBE DL, CEO of The Piece Hall Charitable Trust, said: “What an amazing chance to celebrate such an iconic and influential album by these princes of the Britpop scene.
“It really is an absolute stormer, sounding as fresh today as it did three decades ago. The band’s unique energy and infectious indie pop anthems connected with fans right across the genres and I know it will sound electric in our stunning courtyard.”
Supergrass join Gary Barlow, Travis, Paul Heaton, Faithless, Echo and The Bunnymen, Weezer, James, The Libertines, Simple Minds, Khruangbin, Texas, Olly Murs, Rag’n’Bone Man, UB40 ft Ali Campbell, Dean Lewis and The Script among the headliners announced for TK Maxx presents Live at The Piece Hall 2025.
The venue has just celebrated a record-breaking summer of live music as close to 200,000 music fans visited its iconic open-air courtyard with headline shows from the likes of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Blondie, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Sheryl Crow, Loyle Carner, Jungle, Korn, Biffy Clyro, Fatboy Slim and Bryan Adams, plus many more.
