For real?

Yeah - Why not?

If they don't play this year after the new album and having the Hyde Park show, then I'm pretty sure they'll never play Glastonbury again as a full band.

I can't see this comeback lasting much further past this album and a few shows, so if they aren't asked to headline then I'm sure they would love the chance to play anywhere whilst they're riding the crest of the wave, so to speak.

If they don't headline the Sunday then I can most certainly see them opening The Other Stage on Friday

not a chance.

imagine it - word will be out in plenty of time, loads of people will be there to see them, they'd be up against little to no competition..

there's just no way a band with the appeal of Blur would be on in that slot. the crowds would be dangerously huge.

Suppose you're right .. It's just wishful thinking as I really want them to be there!!!! I wasn't too fussed about seeing them again but the new album has wet my appetite .. If the sound wasn't terrible there - I'd even have got a ticket for me and the misses for the Hyde Park show!

well i'm useless at predictions but i suppose they are the current best guess for headlining so you may be fine.

i just can't see why the recent tradition - if it can be called that - of a friday other opener would be any different to the middling indie band kind of thing of the last two years. really big acts tend to be up against other big acts for health and safety reasons as much as anything.

I really need to stop getting excited about the 11am slot.

The disappointment when I saw that Kaisers banner will long live with me.

at least the Kaisers actually were there... you weren't up at the Park stage after it closed early on the sunday waiting for Daft Punk or something were you?

Still think Go Out was an unusual choice of a comeback single .. Not a bad song but wouldn't personally put it in the top 5 or 6 on the album. Saying that I don't think the video does it any favours!

I Broadcast or Ong Ong would have been a much better choice.

Almost a week of listening to it now and it's getting better each listen. So impressed with it!

Ong Ong is the best for me.

I'd expect the following to make it into the summer set lists:

Lonesome Street

Go Out

I Broadcast (potential opener)

There Are Too Many of Us

Pyongyang

Ong Ong (just before Universal to close)

Last few sets have been heavy on Parklife & MLIR album tracks (Tracey Jacks, Badhead, Oily Water, etc). I'd expect them to be sacrificed.

Actually, assuming a 18-20 song set. Those six new ones, 8-9 big crowd pleasers:

Girls & Boys

Parklife

There's No Other Way

Beetlebum

Song 2

Tender

Out of Time

The Universal

And 4/5 fan favourites:

Sing

This Is A Low

Caramel

For Timorrow

And I'd say you've got a hell of a set list.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
