Britpop favourites Blur are back for two massive concerts at Wembley Stadium this summer.
Fans will be in for a treat, and can expect to hear songs like Parklife, Song 2 and Girls & Boys.
The Ticketmaster website reads: “Blur were formed in 1989 by Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree and signed with Food/EMI the same year. Announcing their arrival with debut album Leisure in 1991, Blur continued to revolutionise the sound of English popular music with second release Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993).
“Five successive UK No.1 albums followed – with Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995) helping to propel the band to mass popularity in the UK and beyond. The eponymous Blur was released in 1997 and seventh album Think Tank (2003) was Blur’s first as a three-piece after the temporary departure of founding guitarist Graham Coxon.
“One of the most successful British bands of the last two decades, Blur have won a total of five BRIT Awards, and were twice nominated for the Mercury Music Award. In May 2023, the band announced their first new album in eight years. The Ballad Of Darren was preceded by the single ‘The Narcissist’.”
