Londoners Blur, after their 2003 break-up, is returning to the UK with a number of intimate shows for fans. The Britpop veterans will warm up for their huge Hyde Park Olympic Closing show on the 27th of July, with New Orders and the Specials with four dates.
Beginning at Margate's Winter Gardens on August 1. They will then play two shows at Wolverhampton's Civic Hall on August 5 and 6, before finishing off at Plymouth's Pavilions on August 7. This is an effort for Blur to perform for non-London fans up close and personal.
The band will also release a career-spanning boxset on July 30 this summer; '21'. The collection includes the band's seven studio albums as well as over five hours of previously unreleased material. This includes 65 tracks, rarities, three DVDs, a collector’s edition book and special limited edition seven-inch vinyl.
Tickets for all dates go on sale on Friday the 18th of May from all major ticket websites.
