That might be it for now, they usually do one year as Blur then split again to do their own stuff for a few years. Hopefully next time they come back they give Blur (the album) a little more love in the setlists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broken monkey Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Last night was genuinely one of the best gigs I’ve attended. Crowd and band were all on top form and Damon was really feeling the love. Tender with the choir was so powerful, a real goosebump moment. Brilliant set list and not a dull moment. If I didn’t have other life commitments, I’d be there again tonight. Those attending are in for a treat! Would love them to headline Glasto next year but I get the idea they may feel they had that moment now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCK Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 If they're still touring next year they'd be a no brainer. However they don't usually tend to stick around long. In 2009, 2012 and 2015 they just played a handful of summer dates then went back to their other projects so I have reason to doubt they won't do the same this time.

balti-pie Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 They were great weren’t they? I had a bloody lovely night. They’d absolutely marmalise a headline spot obvs, I’d want it on the Sunday cos that feels like the most valedictory, celebratory kind of slot. Oily water was a great pull out of the drawer, sounded really psychy- loved it. I agree with the general suggestion that it’s probably only this summer, but with a new album about to come out it may well be that they’ll be at least a little active next year: but then they could quite easily disappear for a half decade and rock up in 2027 or something instead!

Wooderson Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Damon learned in 2010 that headlining again is a chance to be knocked rather than celebrated. Going by videos the Wembley show looks better than anything at Glasters this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka Hislop Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 No sound issues where I was centre back of the golden circle. Sounded absolutely perfect. Brilliant gig and a near ideal setlist with them leaning into my fav album Modern Life Is Rubbish. Advert a big highlight I thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 The fact they have a new album out makes me think they'll do on more tour to play some songs of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

august1 Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 you'd expect them to gone by next summer but I can't see them carrying on forever so, maybe they might break their previous cycle rules, and do a few dates here and there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Girl Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Fwiw I thought it was amazing , one of the best none Glastonbury gigs I’ve been to. We were against the railings of the speaker about 3/4 back and it was fine there. Tender was a moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The classic Wembley special! (The prices and general charmless stadium are why even Damon can’t get me joining in a chant about Wembley) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClementsMike Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Sunday night. Absolutely blown away. Not the biggest Blur fan historically but that was amazing. Damon genuinely looked in bits at times, moved me to tears. Emotional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yokel Again Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Saturday was magic. (Could never top Glastonbury 09, but all the same) An incredible gig. Great sound (for a stadium), top atmosphere. I love the fact they still jump around like it was 30 years ago. Really pleased I went as was definitely on the fence when we booked it, mainly due to £.
