If that was true it wouldn't 100% rule them out still (not that I think they will play). A source who might know information about Blur gigs might not necessarily be in the know about a secret headline performance at Glastonbury.

Hey everyone,

This is quite a random topic to start on a forum but I am in desperate need for help. I am a fourth year student at Edinburgh Napier University currently carrying out my dissertation. I need YOUR help by answering this 5 minute questionnaire from your views from attending a festival when you have had a VIP ticket.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Just click on the link below :)

New post in thread, thinks its about Blur. Nope just another survey. At least the others have the decency to start their own thread so I can avoid them.

Hey Jaqui

You've clearly stuck this here by mistake rather starting your own thread but given the VIP angle, that may have been a good thing.

removed from the Isle Of Wight rumours page (were they were previously a SR if i remember correctly?). might've been taken off a while ago but not sure. surely makes them a bit more likely for Glastonbury what with BST not claiming them as an exclusive?

Never a SR I don't think but I totally missed that they'd come off when I looked before. It's not just a sudden thing that's been done so I'd guess that something says it's not them enough so.

Neil just mentioned in the Prince thread that he may have been a bit hasty removing them, so nothing to get too excited about just yet unfortunately. either way, if IOW get Prince or Blur as well as Fleetwood it's a big fuck you to Glastonbury this year

As you'll see posted in a different thread, it might be a big fuck you from them to Glasto but from Glasto not getting Prince it should be a big fuck yeah we avoided him!!!

I don't see that being the case, especially after John Giddings saying how you can never get one over on glastonbury

If they don't do the Sunday headline slot, anyone else find the concept of them doing a late / none announced slot opening the Pyramid Sunday afternoon immediately after the Dalai Lama entirely feasible?

why immediately after the Dalai Lama? so he can introduce them?!

are Blur not on a bit of a hiding to nothing here? that '09 set is well regarded because it sort of came out of the blue, and was all hits. people didn't know if they would have or would ever play again. now that level will be expected of them, if they don't reach those heights - and they inevitably won't because the circumstances are different - then it'll always come off less favourably.

plus they'll be playing new stuff, and everyone loves that.

i could still see them playing but expecting a repeat of last time is perhaps a bit on the hopeful side, i reckon.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • 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...
