Hear That Coachella? Albarn's Patience Wears Thin with Quiet Crowd

Coachella’s crowd met with an unexpected chill from Blur’s Damon Albarn this Saturday. After a nine-year hiatus from big North American shows, the British icons returned, only to be greeted with less enthusiasm than expected. Albarn, confronting the tepid response during “Girls & Boys,” urged the audience, “You can do better than that.” His disappointment didn’t end there; he later announced, “You’re never seeing us again so you might as well fucking sing this.” Despite the comment, Blur is booked for a second Coachella weekend, but the frontman’s words suggest a murky horizon for the band’s reunion stint.
