Blur Hyde Park

[Kowalski]

Any word on support yet?

There's various rumours on the Blur forums including Ray Davies, a full Kinks reunion (surely not supporting somebody else?), Super Furry Animals, Manic Street Preachers and Kaiser Chiefs (please no!!!).

02 Wireless festival is running on the Saturday and Sunday immediately after the two Blur gigs.

I'd heard the Kaiser Chiefs chat too.

Don't see the Kinks getting back together to support Blur.

P.S. Have you ever heard Damon's cover of Waterloo Sunset? Lets just say it exposes his vocal limitations.

[darrenbha]

little disappointed with the calibre of the supports to be honest

[ljsawyer]

Wow, the Friday support is awesome. Never knew Albarn was a Deerhoof fan! Shame I don't like Blur themselves.

I had a ticket for the Thursday but sold it after I found out they were gonna be at T. Plus, I couldn't be able to afford 2 trips to London in 2 weeks (going to see Michael Jackson the week after)

The Friday line-up does look better though, purely for Vampire Weekend

[suziestardust]

I'm going on the Thursday. I hope it's going to be good, I'm sure it will be

[snorky]

Does anyone reckon they'll be an area infront of the stage for VIPs, like many concerts in Hyde Park?

it really sucks about FF - there's nothing on their website or blur's which says otherwise, just on live nation where the times are listed (as per above)

hey and at least you saw them at glasto! i didn't go this year, after going to at least the last 3 in a row, looked great on the TV.

its also on the live nation website in the FAQ's about food and drink - it says no alcohol, but soft drinks are ok in plastic bottles of 500ml or less - it doesn't mention unbroken seals, but may well enforce that cos of the alcohol rule.

food - it says you can bring a 'reasonable amount for personal consumption', but no hampers or cool boxes.

Do I need to arrive early to get into the front circle bit or don't they have that?

[random_man]

I didn't bother seeing them at glast cos of seeing them today! Can't believe they have pulled out!
