Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes has spoken to NME about the band’s upcoming UK tour to celebrate 30 years of their seminal debut ‘I Should Coco’, along with other Britpop reunions, the dynamic ticket pricing controversy, and plans for the future.Last week saw the Oxford band announce details of a UK tour for May 2025, playing their 1995 album in full for the first time. Cockney rhyming slang for “I should think so”, ‘I Should Coco’ was released when Coombes was just 19-years-old, and his bandmates drummer Danny Goffey and bassist Mick Quinn not much older.It featured the huge singles ‘Alright’ and ‘Caught By The Fuzz’, peaked at Number One in the charts, sold over a million sales worldwide, and became the biggest-selling debut album from Parlophone Records since The Beatles’ ‘Please Please Me’.“Well, I should bloody coco!” Coombes told NME, looking ahead to the shows. “It’s cool, man.
