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.

    • its diabolical already 😞 .... The refs should have walked out in solidarity 
    • The main problem with these is that noone really predicts the shocks that happen in the early knockouts or quarters, so it inevitably gets to like what I put in the semis (France v Spain and Eng vs Arg). You always end up with 4/6 of the top sides reaching the semis, and this is with me 'predicting' Swiss to beat Portugal.   I think we will see a shock result against a top 5-6 team of an African/Asian side knocking a favourite out, and I can see one of the big guns resting heavily for a 3rd group game and ending up 2nd place in their group, which would throw these whole brackets out of whack.   I think the main interesting thing from the brackets, is that if you're only caring about 'likely' group winners, you have France/Spain/Germany/Belgium/Netherlands (who I'm not convinced top group F, that group seems v exciting to me), all on one side of the bracket. Albeit the other side is England/Brazil/Arg/Portugal, but the European giants do seem weighted towards one half.   'best 3rd place' is very hard to call, I suspect there might be 1 or 2 who get 6 points (tied with 2nd) but are there on goal difference/head to head, while others could be on 3 or even 2 points. I also don't actually know if a bunch of these middle-Eastern teams who I've predicted to finish bottom are that bad. I think the ConCaCaf lot who've qualified partially by virtue of the 3 strongest teams all being hosts probably are 0-1 point teams mostly, but I wonder if there's some near-Asian teams I'm underestimating.   I'm honestly really excited though.
    • Early Bird tickets at €245 if you’ve been this year. 
    • €225 plus fees (as a 2026 ticketholder and with Revolut) is a crazy good deal.    
    • I don't think PJ has as much broad appeal in the UK as GNR has. Rock listeners will know Alive and Jeremy so on, but which songs would a random person off the street know? With GNR you have Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child O Mine and Paradise City to name a few.
