Glastonbury 2025: Watch Supergrass kick off delightful Pyramid Set with ‘Alright’
Supergrass delighted fans at Glastonbury Festival by opening their Pyramid Stage set with 1995 hit ‘Alright’.
The hitmakers took no time at all to play their biggest song for the midday audience, many of whom will be dancing before the iconic stage for the first time this weekend. “We are young, we are free!” the crowd sang back beneath a sunny sky with shades of happy blue breaking through the clouds.
The crowd stretched a long way back, littered with fluttering flags that danced in the wind above the two-stepping audience. Supergrass hit every beat perfectly, lifting spirits despite their early set time.
Supergrass are no strangers to Worthy Farm. They’ve played the festival a whopping five times already. Their most recent appearance was in 2022, when they played the Other Stage on Friday afternoon; all the more impressive, considering the band split in 2010 before announcing a reunion nine years later.
“I love this fucking view,” frontman Gaz Coombes commented a few songs in, looking out across a vast crowd. He then recalled playing in 1995, where they “came in by a chopper,” he joked merrily. Coombes then told the fans he’d jump ahead a few years, before digging into hit ‘Richard III’ from their album In It for the Money.
Those in the audience who chose to catch the Supergrass set instead of making their way over to the Woodsies stage, where New Zealand musician Lorde performed her new album, Virgin in full. Her secret set was not kept such a hot secret as she confirmed via way of Instagram stories last night.
Though the Supergrass crowd was alive and kicking, so too was her audience bursting from every edge of the tent, signalling just how many music lovers are in attendance at the festival.
There are still hundreds more acts to come. Far Out are live on the ground giving you all the latest updates. The evening will see The 1975 headline The Pyramid Stage, and Loyle Carner will headline The Other Stage.
