Thank you, whoever is out there, just thank you.
Listen up everyone. Blur have self confirmed Glastonbury '09. See miracles do happen, there is someone out there, and the one thing we know is he is obviously a fan of End of a Century .
Naturally the Eavis family have declined to comment on the matter, but the ominous slot in Blur's touring calendar as well as Damian Alburn actually saying it publicly, is definitely a sign for me to crack out the festival strength cider and re-affirm myself with 'Parklife'
Blur's arrival has caused somewhat of a stir, Oasis have ruled themselves out of the running now for one of the headline spots, and in turn crushed my dream of the BLUR vs OASIS 1995 Battle of Britpop having a re-run.
Almost Overlooked in this, veteran grunge guru Niel Young appears to be the 3 headliner on board, to add a more hardcore fan base to the lineup. This paves the way for the 4Th unprecedented headliner band now surely?
Does the booking of such an act so early show the festival has lost a bit of its sting. Im mean who shows their best hand this early? I really don't know what I'm asking of the Glasto but i think i was hoping for a "WOW i cant believe they are playing band", a bit like Jay-Z in '08. Instead we have 3 quality headliners and another space left for... well who?
I'm going to start off a bit of an essential listening plan in accordance to the rumored lineup... so for today:
Blur- Parklife, End of a Century, Charmless man
Niel Young- Heart of Gold, Southern man
