T in the Park 2009

Has anybody been watching it?

I haven't actually seen any apart from catching a bit of Maximo Park earlier. I think Bloc Party and Blur are on tonight so I'll try and watch them if I can.

Bloc Party are on now and Blur at 11.15pm.

I wish I went now.

I'll watch Blur tonight. They were immense at Glasto!

I've totally forgot all about it to be honest mate. Got it on now though. Doves doing an accustic number.

Looking forward to Blur!

Just watched some Bloc Party highlights. Superb as always.

Paulo Nushiti is on now though.

I'll probably watch Blur later too!

I've got on BBC2 and Pendulum have just been on. Now it's Lilly again.

Just found out that Blur might be forced to pull out due to illness. Graham Coxon is in hospital apparently. Nothing confirmed yet though.

Bloody hell, I know a few people that went just to see Blur.

That's a nightmare that! I was looking forward to Blur. They haven't mentioned anything about Blur coming up in between bands either.

If they pull out... get Bloc Party to do a 2nd set

Blur 'might pull out of T In The Park headline slot'

12 July, 2009

Blur may be forced to pull out of their headline performance at the T In The Park festival tonight (July 12) due to illness.

Festival chief Geoff Ellis made the announcement on the Main Stage at the Scottish festival this afternoon. He explained that guitarist Graham Coxon was in hospital and that the situation was being monitored.

Co-headliners Snow Patrol's Main Stage set has been put back from 7pm (BST) until 8pm.

A spokesperson for Blur, who last played the event in 1999, told NME.COM that the band were still hoping to take to the stage with a stage time later than originally planned.

I think it's gonna be a about an hour before they're due on we find out.

Oh right okay, what time were they supposed to be coming on?

Think it was 11:15PM mate.

Ahh okay, looks like we'll just have to wait then!

What do you reckon will happen if Blur can't play? Will somebody else do a set or?

Possibly. But it all depends if they can get a band that are headline worthy up to Scotland in the next hour or so. I think they most likely just stick an apologetic message on the screen.

True. Although they may be able to get some bands to agree to coming back on and playing a few songs again perhaps. I don't know.

How about they get bands to come on and do covers of Blur songs, could be either horrific or genious!

Well, we can dream!

Get on up to Scotland Paul, quick!

Jul 12, 2009

Blur are set to go ahead with their headline performance at the T In The Park festival tonight (July 12) despite guitarist Graham Coxon battling illness.

Festival chief Geoff Ellis made an announcement on the Main Stage at the Scottish festival this afternoon explaining that the band may have to pull out due to Coxon being in hospital.

However, a statement released later, at 9:15pm (BST), explained that Coxon was en route from hospital and would join the band to play their show with a later stage time than previously set.

Co-headliners Snow Patrol's Main Stage set had been put back from 7pm (BST) until 8pm to give the guitarist more time to recover.
