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.

    • Maybe hopeful but get Knocked Loose on the Sunday opposite the legend. Similar to the slot Turnstile had in 2022. Would be absolutely phenomenal.
    • One of my personal favourite bands at the minute - MUNA. Was very surprised not to see them booked in 2023 with their last album but hopefully they'll be around next year. Very fun new album from these guys and, as aforementioned, another standout for me at Big Weekend.
    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today.
