I've got two spares for this if anybody wants them, takes place next Sunday at Hyde Park. Drop me a message anybody who is interested, they cost 62.50 each. They are e-tickets which I just download from ticketmaster so should be able to just e-mail them across.

Cheers

    funny enough I was looking at the tickets for this last night and was shocked how much it was to see blur and two bands wiithout two of their most important members nowadays.

    Agreed but I think it's relatively standard for big bands like this these days, plus obviously the Olympic closing angle probably adds a bit. To be fair I saw Blur in 2009 at Hyde Park just after they had done Glastonbury and it was absolute class, if it's as good as that I'll be happy with that price.

    I'm going to this gig and can't wait. Love the specials (really can't see why folk keep bleating on about dammers not being there, makes no difference) seen them 3 times since they re-formed. But the big pulling factor for me with this one is Blur. I amaze myself that I've never seen them. Came very close on 2 occasions, but shit got in the way.


    The HUGE minus for me is New order. Can't stand them and sods law, they're smack bang in the middle...............................................

    someone should put a festival on where the only bands playing are ones that don't contain their original members

    Specials
    New Order
    Queen and headlining the triggers broom of bands....Oasis

    We went to the opening concert. For travelling home double check the time the concert finishes. I think it will finish 12.30 to 1.00am. (The normal 10.30 hyde park curfew does not apply).

    If we're on bands without full original line-up, and as the London band, have to include Madness :)
