Blur will perform in Uruguay, Montevideo in November 2013

Blur have added a new tour location and this time they will be playing in Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay this year as part of the Spring Festival as part of their worldwide 2013 tour. Blur have announced several new South American tour dates recently, including landmark gigs in Argentina, Chile and Brazil.

Blur are scheduled to perform at the Summer Theater on November 4th 2013 in the third festival Primavera Zero, one of the biggest music festivals in Uruguay. The band is one of the most anticipated and wanted musical acts in the festival this year, largely due to the high demand for Blur to appear in pop and rock festivals from all over the globe.

The news was first tweeted by Uruguay's PopArt Director Danilo Astori Sueiro through his Twitter account one day ago, and soon made headlines on the local twitter trends page. Local media have already caught up on the buzz, and many fans in South America expressed their delight at the news of Blur's first debut in Uruguay.

This year, Blur have headlined prestigious music festivals such as Coachella in the U.S. and Primavera Sound in Spain. The latter festival is one of the South American venues selected for the tour.

It looks as if Blur will not stop touring until late this year, and will continue their tour in different cities around the world on a mission to reconnect with old and new fans alike. Followers of the band - stay tuned as new dates have been continuously added to the Blur world tour 2013 (see full list of dates).

Blur tocará en Uruguay en Montevideo en 4 de noviembre

La banda londinense Blur tocará en Montevideo el 4 de noviembre, en el marco del festival Primavera 0. El anuncio fue realizado por Danilo Astori Sueiro a través de su cuenta de Twitter sobre la medianoche de ayer.

Blur, ícono y semilla germinal del britpop, lleva casi 25 años de existencia, a través de los cuales editó siete discos de estudio entre los que destacan Parklife (1994) y Modern life is rubbish (1993).

Fue siempre relacionada (y enfrentada en los medios) con el grupo Oasis por el momento en que ambas bandas surgieron y lo que significaron para la música británica de los 90. Si bien la agrupación de los hermanos Gallagher logró antes una popularidad masiva fuera de Europa gracias a su disco (What’s the story) Morning glory? (1994), nunca logró opacar a nivel musical a la agrupación de Damon Albarn y Graham Coxon, más afin a la exploración de distintos estilos y géneros.

De ahí la importancia de la visita de Blur a Montevideo, en el marco de una de las giras más solicitadas del año musical en lo que a pop y rock refiere. Han sido cabeza de festivales multitudinarios y prestigiosos como Coachella en Estados Unidos, o Primavera Sound en España y están entre las bandas más reclamadas por los fanáticos del circuito sudamericano.

Si los festivales son el marco habitual para el rock de estos tiempos, Blur es este año la pieza a tener, a sabiendas de que no hay garantías reales de que estos cuatro amigos londinenses, reconciliados tras una desgastante separación en 2001, sigan tocando juntos en el futuro cercano. La visita de Blur para el 4 de noviembre fue confirmada a El Observador por el productor Danilo Astori Sueiro.

La banda local telonera será Sonia y las entradas estarán a la venta el 15 de junio en locales de Red UTS, con precios que rondarán los $ 1.300 y los $ 2.000. Habrá una segunda fecha del festival con otro artista internacional a confirmar en los próximos días. Tras la biografía de Blur hay muchas canciones que pasan por géneros dispares y a veces opuestos, como el noise y el pop más bailable y radial.

Todo de parte de una inquieta banda que siempre, con mayor o menor éxito, intentó encontrarle la vuelta a su música más allá de las zonas de confort y de esa guerra comercial en la que cayeron sin darse demasiada cuenta y que le agregó picante a esa época musical.

La banda creadora de hits como “Song 2” y “Girls and boys”, que se reunió en 2009, luego de haberse separado tras editar su disco Think tank (2003), llegará a Uruguay en medio de su gira mundial.

Fans are right to rejoice in the confirmation, because the last time Blur performed in Argentina was for a concert held in Estadio Luna Park, Buenos Aires, on November 27, 1999 as part of the '13' Tour.

There has not been more official details or news from the band. More information are expected to be released in the next few weeks.

Blur have been touring the world starting from the beginning of 2013 as part of their new comeback series, although there hasn't been any new songs released. Rumours of a new album and single have been circulating for months, as well as many new tour dates and venues in South America and Asia.

Blur recently cancelled their scheduled gig in Tokyo and Taiwan unexpectedly, stating the reason as promotion and management issues.

Hope's in for Blur in Argentina and the recently confirmed Brazil gig (Planeta Terra Festival 2013), in which Blur seems to be announcing more and more South American dates.
