Britpop favourites Supergrass announce huge outdoor concert at Doncaster Racecourse

The band, best known for their smash hit 1995 hit Alright, will perform after racing on May 16.

They are the second act of the Racecourse's summer live music line-up after Shed Seven announced a date last week.

A Doncaster Racecourse spokesman said: “Packed with horse racing and entertainment, a day out at the races is the perfect reason to gather your friends, family or colleagues for a get together.

“And the icing on the cake? The legendary Supergrass will be taking to the stage after racing to end your evening on a high.”

Supergrass are one of the biggest bands to emerge from the rock scene in the 1990s.

The band - Gaz Coombes, Mick Quinn, Danny Goffey and Rob Coombes – have achieved several million record sales, including six top 10 albums and ten top 20 singles.

Formed in Oxford UK in 1993, the Brit, Q, NME and Ivor Novello-winning outfit released their Mercury-nominated No.1 debut album I Should Coco in 1995.

Fourth single, ‘Alright’, was a pop masterpiece for the group and became a massive hit, catapulting the band to global success.

Follow up hits included Richard III, Moving and Pumping On Your Stereo.

Supergrass tickets will be available for pre-sale via Ticket Master at 10am on Friday 17 January, followed by general sale on Friday 31 January directly from Doncaster Racecourse.
