There’s been some chatter that Blur would reform at some point and play some more gigs, and today that’s turned from gossip into reality: Blur have announced they will play Wembley Stadium on July 8th 2023.

Support will come from Jockstrap, Self Esteem and slowthai.

Frontman Damon Albarn said  “We really love playing these songs and thought it’s about time we did it again.”

Now, I know what you’re thinking, this must be the start of more. Well, the announcement has come with a confirmation Wembley will be the only UK gig from the band. Tickets on sale this Friday at 10am (18^th).
