The band were due to tour across America and Australia in April and May 2020 as well as festival appearances in Norway, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK (which would have also included their 5th appearance at Glastonbury) but all were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the tour's cancellation, Supergrass still managed to perform a [[live streaming|live-streamed]] gig on 21 August at The Bullingdon in their hometown of Oxford. The show was a collaboration with [[Goose Island Brewery]] and served as a launch event for the new Supergrass-inspired beer Man Sized Brew Sir, which was named after the band's song "Mansize Rooster". Ticket proceeds for the event went to the [[Nordoff-Robbins music therapy|Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy Charity]] and the band's charity of choice, the suicide prevention charity [[Campaign Against Living Miserably|CALM]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/leisure/18665647.see-supergrass-play-live-oxford-virtual-reality-gig/|title=See Supergrass play live in Oxford in Virtual Reality gig|first=Tim|last=Hughes|work=Oxford Mail|date=30 August 2020|access-date=8 January 2021}}</ref> The band also played a [[social distancing|socially-distanced]] show at the [[Gosforth Park|Virgin Money Unity Arena]] in Newcastle the next day.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/gallery/see-supergrass-concert-newcastle-socially-18814846|title=See Supergrass in concert in Newcastle at the socially distanced Gosforth Park arena|first=Barbara|last=Hodgson|publisher=Chronicle Live|date=23 August 2020|access-date=8 January 2021}}</ref> On 27 November, Supergrass released ''[[Live on Other Planets]]'', a live album consisting of songs recorded at various dates on their recent reunion tour.
