Blur - Tender Performance at Coachella Festival 2013

Venue: Empire Polo Club Location: Indio, California, United States Date: April 12, 2013

In 2013, Blur was riding a significant wave of nostalgia and revival, having reunited after a lengthy hiatus. Before their electrifying performance at Coachella, the band released their seventh studio album, "The Magic Whip," in 2015, making waves with its bold experimentation. However, leading up to their Coachella show in April 2013, they were primarily celebrated for their earlier works, especially the iconic "Parklife" and "Modern Life Is Rubbish," which had defined the Britpop era. This live recording of "Tender" at the Empire Polo Club, a standout from their 1999 album "13," showcased their ability to blend deeply emotional lyrics with infectious melodies, reminding fans of beloved hits while teasing their comeback with new material. It’s also a unique moment, marking one of the band's triumphant returns to the festival scene, where they infused the classic song with a fresh intensity, connecting past and present in a thrilling way.
