Supergroup

Supergroups first popped up in the late 1960s when musicians from various successful bands decided that forming yet another band was the answer to their existential crises. Traditionally characterised by a mix of high-profile members and a sound that varies from rock to folk, they often serve as a musical buffet—with a touch of dramatic flair, of course. It's no surprise that fans love them, as nothing says 'trust us' quite like recognising the faces of countless legends together on one stage, though whether they can remember the lyrics is another matter altogether.
