yah!

[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...






but,
my money is on them playing coach in '10...

[shakermaker113]

useless thread nazi comment.

[Xenocide]

yup

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

we can confirm they won't be at Coachella though...

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

Confirm?

[drsaith]

we can confirm they won't be at Coachella though...

according to what confirmation?

[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.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

according to what confirmation?

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.

[Boourns]

First one...so far.

[gratytrainridesagain]

but that last part is just to fuck with us.

Idk I think it's just pitchfork covering their bases

[malcolmjamalawesome]

So i JUST started listening to Blur. Now I want this.

[drsaith]

and it really really really could happen....

[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.

[brycerosen]

since Killers are headlining friday, is blur big enough to be a sat/ sun headliner or I wonder if theyd be a sub

[shakermaker113]

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

[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

[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!

[shakermaker113]

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

wow. I've only seen them once, and that was with simon tong (the 'other guy').

[amyzzz]

Yeah, I saw them in 92, 97, 99 (Reading Festival!), and 03. I think the Blur show I saw in AZ in 03 was my "solace" show for not being able to go to Coachella that year, and I guess I lucked out that they were GREAT here and shitty at Coach (from what people say). I actually didn't realize how many times I'd seen them live until I thought it out just now.

Blur is not my favorite band by any means, but they are a lot of fun live, and I used to enjoy the Elastica connection (ha) since Damon used to date Justine of Elastica way back when. (I used to go fucking nuts for Elastica)

[shakermaker113]

I thought blur were awesome at coachella, but it sounds like it was definitely a split audience.

[brando4n82]

Its too bad my absolute favorite Blur album is Think Tank...without Graham....if they play they better play at least half that album

[Xenocide]

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...

fuck i hate you...

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.
