Blur’s Damon Albarn tells Coachella crowd it's “probably our last gig”

[Puddin 1,160]

Such a diva! I’m still in love with him tho

Tbh every music festival that comes around I always see comments that the crowd isn't crazy .. the reality is many of those people have been standing in the sun for multiple hours or days and are dead af. Might not be a fan of the artist, might be discovering them for the first time. Doesn't mean they're not having a good time

I would say most do not, but a lot of people do know about Gorillaz.

This. Gorillas and Queen have been way more popular references on my sphere (North American) than Blur - who I quite literally have never heard of before this thread lol

I do think Coachella is not in my top fests - audience is always kinda average

[Lextyr97 18,725]

I’m sorry but an artist who reacts like this to a DEAD crowd is someone who loves performing and genuinely wants to make people happy. Good on them for not wanting to go back. All people want to do at concerts is record with their phones rather than be in the moment. **** that.

Coachella is an awful festival, dead crowd. When people just go there cause it's hip and not for the music this happens. Blur are from a different era, concerts were fun and energic. Rock artists like these feed on this, as there's no big production. BUT don't tell me they didnt knew that before, dont kind me

How can you not know girls and boys loooool, i know some of you are young but this is like a classic classic jesus at least the chorus. My boyfriend also didn't knew but he thought it was cause he only listens to generic radio music but cmon. They are really great

this for real... you're paying to attend A MUSIC FESTIVAL to enjoy MUSIC and all you do is record your cute outfits and literally walk around glued to your phone?

I was there, and we were near some hardcore Blur fans who came all the way from South Korea. I was also a huge Blur fan back in the 90s and was singing along and dancing  to Girls & Boys. However, the majority of the crowd was there for Tyler and/or No Doubt. 
 

Damon was very charismatic though, if a tad grumpy.

Luv him, he's an incredible artist. I remember the last time I saw Gorillaz in Toronto he was moved to tears by the crowd during one of the songs and kept saying "Toronto, thank you, thank you". He's a passionate performer.

Shook that people don't remember Blur as a big deal. They were huge in the 90s. I remember playing Fifa World cup 98 and bopping to it on the computer lol.

It just wasn’t a part of the social setting I grew up in. I had no idea they existed until this thread either, but seeing the video a user posted earlier intrigued me, so I’ll give them a listen while I do some field notes!

I've never heard of Blur. This person sounds awful though in the video. I would've been silent in the audience, too.
