Saw him last night at the Rivoli Ballroom and he was great!

He played things from all over his career. My highlights were the Gorillaz tunes, and Mr Tembo. He also played Out Of Time and This Is A Low (Both solo on the piano).

Any chance of him being there? I met his guitarist, and asked him about Glasto, but he just dived the question haha.

It'd be a cool moment to see Mr Tembo in the sunshine!!

(On a side note, met Dave Rowntree and my mate asked him what the chances are of a new Blur record, and he said "Right now, I'd say very good.")

I think it's a real shame if Glastonbury hasn't snapped him up

He's playing a very small venue in portsmouth near me and I tried to get tickets, I think about 100,000 people were trying to get tickets for a 400 capacity venue

Yep - love the album and also tried to get tickets for the Bristol gig - classic seetickets routine of getting to enter card details only to be told then it's sold out.

Well, he's playing the Netherlands fest on either the 27th or 28th, and then Poland on 29th.

So it's possible he could squeeze in Glastonbury on either 27th or 28th - but that would mean 5 dates in a row which seems unlikely...

Would love to see this - the setlist for last night looks great.

"I like him amd think his solo stuff is really good, but I ssaw him at the 6 music festival anf I Don't think it worked live, too slow"

I get your point. I love blur and am hopefully going to latitude - but I wouldn't be at all surprised if I ended up watching royksopp instead.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
