V99 Chelmsford

Uh-oh. Schedule clash alert. As Travis played to the whole of Essex on the second stage, Supergrass mooched on to a "respectable" crowd.

They didn't seem fussed, though the "new song at festival" trap threatened to swallow them.

It shouldn't have done. Far Away and Out Of The Blue are as good as anything they've done, while Moving got everyone going. A rasping hit medley at the end cemented a smart show.
3/5
