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.

    • On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.
    • An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.
    • Ohhh it’s very, very good. 
    • I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
    • Would love to see them headline as well, but agree with Mr Bailey ☹️
