2013 Lineup

[Luke Routledge]

When Chop Suey started playing...well that was one of the finer moments of my life

[SoLoCo]

Looks like at the moment nobody really has any idea who the third headliner could be. Could be just as much of a shock as Eminem was. Hope nothing leaks because if so, next Monday won't be as exciting.

[PDAD]

I fell over when that came on! Couldnt believe it!

[Bisque]

The third headliner is never a disappointment (please let me know of disappointments)

Interesting...so theyre playing Dublin on 1st August but then still going back to Europe to play Norway 6th August i think. Am i right in saying 6th August is their latest date as of yet?

[PDAD]

7th August 2013 Øya Festival Oslo, Norway 9th August 2013 Sziget Budapest, Hungary 6th September 2013 Flughafen Berlin Tempelhof Berlin, Germany

Just got these dates from blur's website, so a nice gap for blur, wouldn't have thought they'd bother doing Germany a month after Hungary without a few dates in between?

[dart]

Oh right, i missed out a lot, cheers yeah, the gap does looks very R+L shaped. Depends how much you read into the SOAD comment i guess and how much you trust Damon's 'no UK festival' comment. I think they're still in the running personally but then again, the SOAD quote would suggest against. We'll see,

[PDAD]

That's true about the SOAD comment but it can be taken a few ways, one of which is 'we've played with the headliner before and they're alright guys and we've been offered a fuckload of money so we agreed to it', rather than say them looking up to the headliner so agreeing to it in a sabbath/metallica scenario?

[dart]

Yeah i agree. If the comment hadn't been made, i'd be writing off anyone else but Blur. It just adds doubt. But yeah, you're right that it could be taken in more than one way.

[Com Truise]

Blur would be awesome

[thetime]

My opinion this blur date could make them less likely. The chances are if they were going to play reading/leeds they would play electric picnic like the cure.

Would they play in dublin 4 weeks before electric picnic if this was the case?

Isn't Killing In The Name too obvious? They should go with Sleep Now In The Fire

[brettredmayne]

one week to go, wonder if Neil is any closer to finding the 3rd headliner

[brettredmayne]

Stereoboard say its rumored to be the arctic monkeys but thought they were ruled out.

[luckysalt]

The comments on blur are a bit stupid. Why would blur go back to europe a month after other dates, they arent going back to europe, they are based in europe, if the promoter wants them to play sept a flight to germany isnt exactly hard, they arent carting a huge stage setup from the US.

Who knows whats going on but the surrounding dates make no difference really

[Yuh!]

"blur are coming to DUBLIN first time since '99 and only show in the UK or Ireland. Playing the Irish Museum of Modern Art on Thursday 1st August. Tickets On Sale Thursday 7th March."

That rules them out then.
