Live on Other Planets is a double live album by Supergrass. Released on 27 November 2020, it consists of songs recorded during the band's reunion tour from earlier that year. Its title is a play on the band's fourth studio album, Life on Other Planets.

## Background

[edit]

In 2018, the former members of Supergrass set in motion plans for a reunion tour in 2020 with the purpose of celebrating the 25th and 10th anniversaries of their formation and break-up, respectively.[1] Following a surprise set at Glastonbury Festival’s Pilton Party on 6 September 2019, the band announced their 2020 reunion tour dates in Europe and the U.S.[2]

The Supergrass reunion gigs were well-received, with their 21 February show at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow garnering a five-star review from The Guardian.[3] However, after completing their February and early March tour dates in Europe and U.K., by mid-March the band had to cancel the rest of their gigs because of the COVID-19 pandemic, including shows in the U.S.[4] and Australia,[5] and appearances at various festival, including Glastonbury.[6]

## Release

[edit]

On 25 September 2020, Supergrass announced the 27 November release of Live on Other Planets. The album was released to mark the band's 25th anniversary; to capture the reunion gigs and thank the fans who attended; and to support grassroots music venues, with proceeds from the album's sales going to the #SaveOurVenues campaign in aid of venues struggling due to the pandemic.[7]

The CD edition of the album includes the bonus disc Bully for You, a full-set recording of the band's live-streamed performance on 21 August 2020 at The Bullingdon, Oxford.[8]
