is this possible? http://www.nme.com/news/the-beach-boys/62073

Blur were the first band that crossed my mind when I heard the news! I would love them to play - Although part of me doesnt want them to as they were so good at Glasto in '09 nothing would compare to that moment!

[fattmairey]

Neil do you know anything about blur playing beni?

[RossTC]

Blur would be EPIC! Fingers crossed for them!

There has been talk on the other forums about Blur announcing Hyde Park dates on Tuesday with the brit awards.

[sprostongreen]

Is there another festival on the weekend after with Guns n Roses and Marilyn Manson headlining??

[chel]

Blur would be amazing, deffo don't wanna build hopes though

[klb]

anyone think red hot chilli peppers are maybe one of the other headlines? there on tour this year and are in Madrid a few days before the festival. I seen them last year in manchester and there were great, so would be nice to see them again

I guess Bloc Party have got to be a strong contender to be announced on the next announcement. They're playing Melt festival on the same weekend as Beni, clearly going to be on the festival circuit this summer....

[makhulumo]

If by some miracle Blur, Bloc Party and Justice were all announced it'd turn the line up on its head, would look very very strong.

[Welshyyy]

Vampire Weekend? would be amazing if they played

[agould]

Blur and I will be a happy man! Also Band of Skulls would be a nice addition!

I cant see Blur playing as they'd be too similar to the Roses (reformed 80s/90s British pop band). I think they'll have one day with David Guetta/Dizzee Rascal, the Roses/New Order day, the Florence and the Machine/pop day and then maybe an American day with RHCP/Killers/Foos/someone like that?

They must have spent a bomb on the Roses as FATMachine is pretty small, i can see them getting a dance act in so maybe they'll fork out for a big name as well.

Apart from the Roses, Horrors, Noel G and Miles Kane its looking a bit drab for my tastes.

there is a 'major announcement' by Blur at midnight tonight.

[Welshyyy]

Theres an announcement for benicassim tomorrow? So probably not blur? Unless they announce their tour or something tonight then benicassim announce them tomorrow

[klb]

anyone know what time the announcement will be tomorrow?

[philly_eds]

Seem to remember the previous announcements that were aired on XFM being roughly 11am (GMT)

Blur Hyde Park??? Just posted by NME on Facebook:

"Hey everybody, why not write NME a nice letter? You can write about anything from Blur (hyde park, new record), Jack White (live shows, tracks etc) the Teenage Cancer Trust shows, NME Awards tour/shows, Skrillex or whatever you like! Best one gets £50 worth of music vouchers! The address is [email protected]"

EDIT: It's now been removed, seems like they let it slip early....
