They played it in Hyde Park three years ago so you never know. A truly lovely piece of music but it does lower the energy somewhat.

True true. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I bet I end up seeing them at Hyde Park and Glasto in the hope of different setlists.

In terms of criminally underrated songs I'd love to see Strange News From Another Star make an appearance, but like NDLTR it's not exactly a party anthem.

I think they've played badhead almost every time i've seen them. Love that song. And i think i'm alone in adoring Tracey Jacks. Helluva track.

Hehehe it was the Steely Dan sheen to Ghost Ship that had me pining for a numbah.

Fuck yes, that's it. Steely Dan. That's an inspired and gloriously accurate comparison. Spot on Wooderson.

Not alone - possibly my favourite track from Parklife, banging tune.

Incidentally Damon wasn't the only one blubbering at To the End in 09, I was a wreck!

I had a rough year in 2009, my girlfriend at the time broke up with me then attended the festival with her new boyfriend/my ex-friend whom she cheated on me with. So I was a blubbering wreck during To The End / This Is A Low.

Also sob story over : I then went to uni and ended up with someone much better looking .

The denouement to this anecdote was more blunt than i expected. Made me chuckle. Well in son.

Met my girlfriend during blur 09. Would be an absolute dream them playing. Just them releasing a album is amazing. I would absolutely love them to play - special night if so. Tender would make me cry like a baby.

First gig we went to together after that festival was the last ever oasis gig at v fest and we love Noel so if it's Noel then Blur we'll be blubbering wrecks before blur come on...

I'd definitely keep the ones that I've put in bold. They played Sing at Hyde Park in 2012 which was excellent. I'd love to hear Charmless Man live.

    • TOP 10 acts (top 5 in bold😞   Blood Orange (ciutat)   Guitarricadelafuente   Oklou - Looks like I'm capable of enjoying music in the rain after all, just not the whole night.   Rilo Kiley   The Cure   Jade   Depresión Sonora   Gelli Haha (Parc del Forum) - Her music never really clicked with me. Until I saw her live.   MARINA   Six Sex (ciutat) - I was shocked how supersmall the venue was and that almost everyone (except for me) knew every word of every song (including the ones that were released this weekend!).   Honorable mention:   Ashnikko - missed the first 15 minutes (because of Gelli Haha) and I'm not really a fan of her music, but the show was an absolute blast.
    • Totally agree about PinkPantheress stage choice. 'Luckily' for me, one of my main targets, fakemink, was absolutely awful, meaning that I left early and was in a surprisingly good spot at Cupra before it got totally packed.
    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.
