In het interview over het nieuwe album blijkt toch een voorkeur voor festivals dus enkele goed gekozen festivals zitten er wel in vlak na hun eerste stadium optreden (Tottenham stadium) op 20 juni.
Extract uit interview:
Songs like ‘The Happy Dictator’ (featuring experimental art-pop duo Sparks), the first single to be released from the album, are very much “staring the beast in the face,” Albarn says. The track “touches that sweet spot between making something that’s fun and also got some social, political clout to it,” he explains.
“I’ve always loved it if you can get that kind of song up to a big festival field singing it. It feels quite powerful.”
