The reissue features unheard live recordings and the entire album has been fully remastered for its 2025 release. It will be available digitally, on a Gatefold 2LP Petrol and Forest Green vinyl with printed inner sleeves and a 2CD digisleeve, both physical formats accompanied by a booklet with liner notes written by Mark Radcliffe.

Speaking on the release, Mick Quinn said “From a lost winter in the French countryside we attempted an experimental, uplifting record far outside our comfort zone. Road To Rouen became a compact joy that still holds a cherished place in our hearts. Vive la différence.”

Originally launched on 15th August, 2005, Road To Rouen reached #9 on the UK Top 10 chart. Marking a significant shift for the band, showcasing a more reflective and introspective sound with longer, orchestral arrangements.

Consisting of Gaz Coombes, Mick Quinn, Danny Goffey and Rob Coombes; Supergrass are one of the most important bands to emerge during the 1990s. Formed in Oxford in 1993, their accomplishments include several million record sales, 6 top 10 albums, 10 top 20 singles and accolades from the Brit Awards, Q Awards, NME Awards, and Ivor Novello Awards.
