[PierogiHead]

Book these guys for Coachella NOW, Mr. Tollett.

[oasis4life2002]

Idk in the article it says UK fans should look forward to further dates... It would be nice if the only US show they played would be Coachella but I guess were gonna have to wait and see

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

I don't know that their first reunion date would be Coachella...but it'd be nice.

[Xenocide]

I jizzed in my pants...

[shakermaker113]

After much dilly-dallying, Blur have FINALLY confirmed that they are indeed reuniting, for real this time. Damon Albarn, Alex James, Dave Rowntree, and, yes, Graham Coxon will take the stage for a concert at London's Hyde Park on July 3, 2009. This will be their first full-lineup performance since 2000.

In a video interview on their site (email/mobile info necessary), the band says the reunion rehearsals have been like "putting the A-Team back together" and "like riding a bike."

No other future plans have been announced yet, but we wouldn't be surprised if a Coachella set was in the cards...

but that last part is just to fuck with us.

[gratytrainridesagain]

but that last part is just to fuck with us.

Idk I think it's just pitchfork covering their bases

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

Confirm?

[Boourns]

Fuck No Doubt and all those other reunions announced, it's all about BLUR and ORBITAL. FOR COACHELLA 2009 PLZKTHX.

And now Pulp better one-up them by reuniting for Coachella/Glastonbury/etc in 2010.

[shakermaker113]

I wonder if they're going to play any think tank material now that graham's back.

[TonyWonder]

I wonder if they're going to play any think tank material now that graham's back.

I hope so..graham or no graham, I love me some Think Tank.

[humanoid]

I wonder if they're going to play any think tank material now that graham's back.

they'd have to invent a bunch of guitar parts for him to play on those songs

[Boourns]

First one...so far.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Blur would be a much bigger headliner than the Killers... and arguably as big, if not bigger, reunion act as Portishead (who was a headliner)... the only way they'd be a sub is if they had a legend (i.e. Prince, Bowie, Smiths, Zep, etc.) on the same day...

I agree that Blur is a bigger reunion act than Portishead, but I'm not sure they have the popularity in the States to headline Coachella. Gorillaz could headline over Blur, I think. In the UK, it's a different story.
Also... I'm not hating on Blur. I would love to see them... just sayin.

Portishead > Blur

i agree... but if Portishead can headline, arguably so could Blur (and like you said, Gorillaz)

Blur are simply not a U.S. festival headlining act. They would be in the New Order/Pixies/etc. slot.

yes i agree, however it would require that they were playing on the same day with a Radiohead or a Nine Inch Nails... (or a Prince)

blur > gorillaz

Blur would be a better band...
Gorillaz would be a bigger spectacle...

...and either would be welcome at Coach...

since when are the Killers headlining Friday?


WTF?

[shakermaker113]

I wonder if they're going to have some cool opening acts. like a mini festival. oooh.

[amyzzz]

So if they broke up in 2000, I guess I've seen them live 3 times full-band, and 1 time with that other guy.

Bleh, I just want to bump this back to the top. BLUR 2009!

there were some guitar parts weren't there? fuck I'd need to go watch some old videos to tell.
