Blur's Damon Albarn blasts apathetic Coachella crowd and vows not to return as ... trends now
Blur's Damon Albarn has slammed the crowd at Coachella, while fans branded the festival goers as 'embarrassing' and 'dead' after their apathetic reaction during the band's set.
The British band played a 13-song set at the California music festival, including 90s classics like Girls & Boys, Popscene and Song 2.
They also brought out the Torres Martinez Cahuilla Bird Singers, a group of tribal singers from the Mojave Desert, where Coachella is held.
However, the audience at their set was less than enthusiastic, with their apathy becoming apparent to the band onstage.
Lead singer Damon could be seen looking increasingly irritated as he attempted to engage with the crowd to no avail.

For their 1994 hit Girls & Boys, the musician tried to get everyone to sing along to the chorus multiple times, but it was radio silent.
Frustrated he declared that the band would not be returning to the festival, saying: 'You’re never seeing us again, so you might as well f****** sing it'.
