See for me that would be no contest because I would just see Ben Howard because I am familiar with him, not so much Blur, but they were before my time. Are they a direct clash or do they just overlap

Ben Howard goes into blurs set for 5 minutes, it will be gridlock and I want to relive my youth right near the front for blur....there's no other way..

The only down side getting a good spot for blur is I'm going to suffer kings of Leon bollox who are on just before.

How come Kings of Leon accept a non-headline spot for european fests but keep headlining over here :/

I think you have it planned out then, have a good time seeing KoL ;)

There bigger here than Belgium, same reason why editors are headlining over there and playing 5th at reading, same reason why kasabian headline here and don't in Europe.

I will just put my ear plugs in, I've managed to avoid kol so far but I'm afraid this ones unavoidable haha.

How many people do you think will stay through KoL just to see Blur?

Would Blur headline an english festival over the next few years? They did Coachella too didnt they so they are big worldwide so maybe next years Glasto?

Why did Glasto not try to get them instead of Arctics. I could see them being at T or V or Glasto but I dont know about Reading

There not doing any uk dates this summer, reading would have blur in a heartbeat.

Blur are still one of the biggest bands in the uk.

    • It’s probably fairly easy to stay in a hotel but I much prefer the camping set up. It was pretty quiet where we camped but a longer walk to the arena but the weather was nice so not a problem. There’s also a lake you can camp by. Once we got off the tube/train we walked down the main road and turned right (festival site is left) and camped down there.    Do you think? They do have water points inside the arena & where I camped there were toilets, showers & water points super close. I think if you time it right the RiP stage is so easy to get close to the front. Second stage is decent & a like the indoor arena for bands on the 3rd stage. I think all the stages sound better than Downloads too, always had issues with the 2nd stage at Download being too quiet. Even main at some points. 
    • Interesting that they’ve mentioned Blink-182 in mail. Btw dates for 2027 are 10-12 June. Same dates as Mystic & Sweden Rock and most likely Download, RFP & Greenfield.     
    • Scooter are a meme booking. The Chems aren’t viewed in the same way. They’re a serious electronic act, whereas Scooter has only ever been suggested (and now booked) because ‘LOL look how wacky us metalheads are we love silly music too’.
