Now its a serious possibility regardless of 2009 Yeah tbh I think Damon loves the place too much to pass up the opportunity. Who knows if it’ll be next year, but can’t imagine them calling it a day for good without having another stab at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Dave was interviewed on 6 Music and said as a band they're really only intrigued by doing things they haven't done before - hence playing Wembley this year. Doesn't make it a done deal either way, but I dunno if I'd hang my hat on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a recording is still on his Facebook page. Edited May 18, 2023 by 2019 Incorrect location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 I think I mentioned I'd be a little disappointed a few pages back, but that was working on the assumption there would be no new material to make it worthwhile. Now, I'd be more amenable, though I'd still rather see them book a trio of new headliners or those with more than a decade-and-a-half wait.

Who knows. 2009 was as close to perfect as you can get! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauceageroll Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 New single is quite fantastic. Really enjoyed the Magic Whip; but this beats that also. Had on repeatedly, proper ear worm stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcatraz Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Another thumbs up for the single. Already feels like a track that's been around for years even though I'm only a few listens in Edited May 19, 2023 by Alcatraz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwhitehouse13 Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Just amazed by how prolific they are at the moment - this year we have had new records from Gorillaz, Dave’s solo record, The Waeve and now a Blur record. And they’re playing live shows for all…are they the hardest working guys in music at the moment? Love the new track and really looking forward to the album.

RossTC Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Loving the new tune. +1 for saying Damon is one of the greats. Cracker Island is also the best Gorillaz album for a good few also, mans on fire atm! If they do full UK tour i'm there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 I used to swim regularly in this pool featured on the album cover. Not many outdoor public pools in the west of Scotland! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
