Blur will be joined by a number of special guests for the concert, including Northampton rapper Slowthai, EDM duo Jockstrap, and singer-songwriter Self Esteem.

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

It is unclear whether the Wembley show will be a one-off performance for Blur or if the band intends to go back on the road again.

“I’m really looking forward to playing with my Blur brothers again and revisiting all those great songs… blur live shows are always amazing for me,” added guitarist Graham Coxon.

Blur is considered one of the most important bands in the Britpop era in the ’90s. The four-piece released seven studio albums, five of which went No. 1, between 1991 and 2003 before going on an indefinite hiatus. They had several reunions since then, with the most recent coming in 2015 when they released the critically acclaimed album The Magic Whip. The band took a break after wrapping up the promotional tour for the record.

The members of Blur have been recently active in their solo projects. Albarn is set to release a new album with Gorillaz in early 2023, while Coxon also has a new release coming with his side project The Waeve.

In a recent interview with MusicWeek, Albarn discussed several topics and was asked at one point whether Blur played its last live show together.

“I really hope not. I love doing those gigs, they’re great, but it’s not something I need to do,” said Albarn.

According to Albarn, he enjoys working with Graham Coxon, Alex James, and Dave Rowntree, which is why he has every intention of getting back on stage with them.

“I only do it because there’s a joy in doing it. It’s an absolute treat. I can’t wait to sing “Parklife” again,” he added.

Albarn formed Blur in 1988, but the band had several long hiatuses since then. Their last reunion resulted in 2015’s album Magic Whip and subsequent tour. After that, the group members decided to focus on other projects.

The last time Blur were together on stage was in 2019 when Damon Albarn recruited Coxon, James, and Rowntree for his Africa Express show. The played “Clover Over Dover,” “Song 2,” and “Tender.”
