Blur will play a very special show at London’s Wembley Stadium on 8th July next year, their only UK appearance and first headline show since 2015.
The outing will see Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree come together as blur to perform their iconic and much-loved songs in the band’s first ever Wembley Stadium show. Joining the line-up are anarchic chart-topping British rapper slowthai, critically acclaimed English singer-songwriter and Mercury Prize nominee Self Esteem and London-based electro-pop duo Jockstrap for what promises to be an unmissable night in the capital.
Damon Albarn:
“We really love playing these songs and thought it’s about time we did it again.”
Since announcing their arrival with debut album Leisure in 1991, blur went on to revolutionise the sound of English popular music with five successive #1 albums Parklife (1994), The Great Escape (1995), Blur (1997), 13 (1999) and Think Tank (2003) and a string of Top 10 singles, including two No 1s with Country House and Beetlebum, helping to propel the band to mass popularity at home and abroad.
One of the biggest British bands of the last three decades, blur has released eight studio albums and collected ten NME Awards, six Q Awards, five BRIT Awards and an Ivor Novello Award, and played live to thousands of devoted fans across the globe. The band’s most recent album, The Magic Whip topped the UK charts on its release in 2015.
