Blur

I'm guessing now that they've got the Wembley shows out of the way and with the new album due for release that they will announce a late 2023/early 2024 tour of arenas or large venues. Not sure what anyone else's thoughts are on this.

I think much will depend on Gorillaz plans if there are any for next year.

An absolutely incredible night. Very very special, one of the best gigs I've been to. Pretty perfect setlist to me

Was great.  I would have loved to have heard On Your Own and MOR, but otherwise it was spot on.

They are yet to tour the album that came out in Feb really as they did a lot of touring in 22 before it came out so i reckon they will be active.

Up there as one of the best gigs ever. Saw my dad get emotional...then when Damon broke down, I broke down. Was in tears for most of the night from then on

Top band, enough said!

[baggie92]

Went last night, was good but nowhere near as good as the Wolverhampton gig earlier on in the year, so glad I went to that.

Gold circle needs to get in the bin, just creates more overcrowding at the barrier of general standing 

[broken monkey]

To be fair, thought the Gold circle was tiny compared to other large shows I've attended - barely noticeable from where we stood and we were pretty close.

I stand by my point, the original link you posted states 26/28 for tube strikes.  
 

thanks for clarifying.

Anyone been successful with that BBC radio 2 show? Some in my group have had it confirmed they're not in but others haven't heard anything yet.

Very much in the same boat. I didn't get in but t'other half hasn't had an email saying either way yet.

[Al2006]

Loved loved loved Wembley so much. What a gig and what a moment. Seeing them in Colchester in May to Wembley in July was quite the jump, and they absolutely delivered on both counts.

I thought Self Esteem was absolutely brilliant (as always) too.

 

New album is out there by the way.. its.. ok. Very early judgement but I'm glad this didn't fill much of the setlist. Also maybe I'm in the minority.. but I loved The Magic Whip (and Fool's day + Under the West Way).. so I've generally been a fan of 'new blur'. But this isn't doing much for me (or screaming that it's made by blur)

Not yet but standing for Pulp there was £85 so imagine it would be the same
