4 Reunions we want to see in 2015

Everyone loves a bit of drama and speculation, and band reunions are a guaranteed way to satisfy both needs. As soon as a band stops performing, whether after a huge fight or just for members to try something new, the music world starts to talk about a possible reunion.

Some reunions always seem a bit more exciting than others and some reunions are a lot more likely to happen than others. But what are the rumours saying about 2015? Here are the confirmed and unconfirmed reunions we want to see this year.

System of a Down

The US-based metal band truly revolutionised the scene and there isn’t a metal lover that doesn’t want to see them back in action. The band gave everyone an early Christmas treat last year when it announced it’s going to perform at the KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas, but it looks like there’s more to come later this year.

The band has confirmed it’ll perform a global reunion tour, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Armenian massacre. The tour will conclude in Armenia, which will be the first time the band will perform in their homeland.

There’s no word yet, whether there will also be new material worthy of an album and so far, the band hasn’t talked about the future. We sure hope the band doesn’t just reunite for these seven performances.

The Kinks

The Kinks reunion has long been in the talks, but it had seemed highly unlikely, considering the difficulties between the two brothers. But Dave Davies has been openly talking about his desire for a reunion.

The Kinks fans got even more excited when reports stated the band has confirmed to reunite in 2015, but Dave Davies soon refuted these statements.

In a more recent interview, the guitar legend told that there is a possibility the band will get together in 2015, although a large-scale tour is very unlikely. In the meantime, fans might feel a bit happier knowing both Dave and Ray are recording new solo material.

Oasis

The year is the 20th anniversary of the fantastic album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? and this has got Oasis fans excited about the possibility of a reunion. The problem with Oasis is you never know – even if something has been confirmed, there’s a chance it won’t happen.

The brothers have a famously sour relationship with each other, but the anniversary might just be enough to get the pair together once again. Although there have been plenty of rumours, there’s also been plenty of denial and it’s more unlikely the duo won’t manage to repair their relationship for a large-scale tour. But we can still hope!

Blur

Another Brit rock favourite, Blur, is also on top of the lists people want to see back together this year. The two bands have had a famous rivalry for years now and have produced a number of memorable guitar riffs. While the two have been competing for years, there have been some reports the frontmen have finally buried the hatchet. Yet, the old rivalry might be enough to ensure to us fans that if one of the bands reunites, perhaps the other will as well.

There’s been no official word yet, although bassist Alex James has hinted a reunion might be possible, following a brief yet very successful one a few years ago. The band is planning for a gig at their hometown of Colchester, where a campaign to turn an art gallery into a Blur-themed museum is under way.
