Blur?

[Greenelk]

I'm being told that Hyde Park will be the only gig down south for Blur this summer, with the warm up gigs in Wales and Scotland being the only ones planned, so looks like Glasto out

Down south as in England?

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.

[brettredmayne]

I think they will be at IOW

[shoptildrop]

I love that line up at Hyde Park but refuse to see a gig there anymore, the venue is sh*t, sound is awful and it's bloody expensive trip coming from Manchester so will give it a miss.....wait for the Manchester date to be announced

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!

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.

VIP? pfffffft

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?

[Gnomicide]

No.

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

[Brave Sir Robin]

Perhaps he could do the Phil Daniels bit on Parklife.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Or the Ken Livingstone bit on Ernold Same.

OI!

[Hugh Jass]

OI!

That would be your ticket price right there.

[bellboy]

It gives me an enormous sense of well being!!!!!!

It just seems really Damon...

[fatyeti24]

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.
