Teletubby 128,184 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) Damon Albarn said “In the spirit of clarity and truth, this is probably our last gig” during Blur’s set at weekend two of Coachella 2024 last night It comes after Albarn stated in December that the band would be going on a hiatus until further notice, saying “it’s too much for me”. Albarn was not impressed by the Coachella crowd during the first weekend of the festival. Albarn’s Blur played a 13-song set, including Nineties classics like “Girls & Boys”, “Popscene” and “Song 2”, on the festival’s main stage on Saturday (13 April). The frontman tried to lead a singalong during the bridge of “Girls & Boys” but was met with silence on multiple attempts. Eventually, he told the audience plainly: “You’re never seeing us again so you might as well f***ing sing it. Know what I’m saying?” “Song 2”, at least, was met with a huge reaction from the crowd, Albarn said: “This song has been so good to us. But I did get shown a TikTok of it being kind of performed by a vacuum cleaner which is you know…. It is humbling and inspiring at the same time.” source Edited April 21 by Teletubby i ❤️ @Julianlittlem 2 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlepotter 73,591 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Someone needs to tell artists that coachella crowds are always so much worse and less reactive than normal concert crowds, most people probably don't know who you are or are rich kids just going on a cool trip. chaeri pls 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard of gorillaz, but I only know that one song where they go “hmm hmm” and I hate it so much also their imagery is very disturbing to me so not my thing as far as Queen goes, I only know what plays on radio/movies/tv. And this will be controversial as hell but honestly out of every song I’ve ever heard by Queen, I do not like a single one, like at all. I find every record unlistenable and Freddie Mercury’s voice is like daggers in my ears (even tho he was obviously very talented) 🇨🇺🇧🇸 monica from rhoslc kinda had a point 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
