Blur?

[wozwebs]

See Blur have just surprised everyone with new album coming out and playing Hyde Park 20th June. Glastonbury week after?

[klipper]

I hope so, really want to see a pyramid headliner at my first glasto and none of the current rumours (flo, coldplay, tay tay) i'd see (foos neither).

Still quite unlikely though.

[WS_Jack_III]

Just listened to the new track. Bit weird.

[neil999]

its a yes from me, but dont think they could top 09 unless the new album is really good, wondering if they might be worried about doing glasto AGAIN but they are doing BST again..so maybe not, if they are playing tho it surely means coldplay arent..which totally goes against the TBC on here

hmmm

[When Jokers Attack]

new song

[st dan]

Secret set maybe?

[MrZigster]

In '09 they announced their "reunion" Hyde Park gig before announcing Glastonbury.

Just sayin'

[matt2007]

Perhaps they are brining an ice cream van?

[fatyeti24]

they're on Lamacq's show today, after 5pm.

[Big Vern]

like that new track a lot

[Pinhead]

Never in a month of Sunday Sunday's.... '09 would be a tough act to follow. Saying that I'd go along without question.

Secret set maybe?

yes would be great for the park secret headline slot, and then there might be less of the worry of trying to live up to '09?

They'd be great for the back of my garden secret headline slot too.

Oh wait, that's just as real as the secret park headline spot

[brettredmayne]

Have they been on 6 music yet

[Samhodson95]

That ice cream looks incredible

well yeah you can definitely take the 'secret' with a pinch of salt... though lots of people I spoke to in 2010 missed out on thom yorke having not heard about it

[ybelgrave1]

if the opportunity is there to do it i think they'd be more likely to take that than headline the pyramid again

[Gucci Piggy]

Albarn's part of the crew that Eavis can supposedly fall back on if they're struggling, ain't he?

If Coldplay were booked as a replacement for someone, and Blur are in the country the week before, and not playing, I'll be a lil miffed.

[Gnomicide]

That ice cream is Mike99.

[home to you]

Just pre ordered new album on Amazon. You get a presale code for BST gig

[DGrant261]

I think Coldplay have been booked. Glasto are still in the process of sorting out their last headliners (Florence's 'I'm still waiting' quote supports that) but if the can't sort a third the idea of them falling back on Blur isn't a bad one.

My guess is they'll do festivals next year, R&L most likley with T being a possibility

That wasn't a headline slot. And Emily's explicitly said there won't be any secret slots for big acts on the Park any more due to health and safety. Blur there would be insane.

First act opening the Other Stage on the Friday maybe? You'd like to think they'll be there in one way or another.

[Pinhead]

If the really did announce them I'd need a change of boxers to be sure.

Was anything substantial said on 6music? Wasn't about to hear it myself.
