Blur - Song 2 Live Performance at Coachella Festival 2013
In April 2013, when Blur delivered that iconic performance of "Song 2" at Coachella, the band was riding a wave of renewed interest thanks to their comeback album, *The Magic Whip*, released in 2015. But prior to that, they'd been on a bit of a hiatus after their *Think Tank* album in 2003, which, interestingly, was plagued with lineup changes and experimental sounds that sometimes divided fans. By the time of their reunited energy at Coachella, they were basking in nostalgia while still proving they could rock it live. It's fascinating to think about how "Song 2," with its explosive energy, was still a crowd favorite, anchoring their legacy even after years away from major tours. The band’s return symbolized more than just a performance; it was a celebration of their enduring impact on Britpop and rock, bringing both old and new fans together in a euphoric moment under the California sun.
