Blur fans have been sent into a frenzy after the band announced that they will reunite next year for a special one-off gig at Wembley Stadium.
All four members of the iconic 90s group, Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree, will appear together for the first time since 2015 as they play their greatest hits at what is sure to be an unforgettable show on 8 July 2023. Next year is set to be a big one for the return of Britpop, with Pulp also confirming a string of reunion shows last month.
Tickets for the concert go on general sale this Friday, 18 November, at 10am, available from Ticketmaster and See Tickets. Keen fans can sign up for pre-sale access on Blur's website, with demand expected to be huge judging by the incredible reaction to news of the band's comeback.

Fans were ecstatic to hear that the band would be performing together again for the first time in eight years, saying that they had been left "in bits" by the exciting news. One delighted fan branded it the "best news ever".
"I'm going to cry with happiness," another said on Twitter.
A third fan vowed: "I don't care what I have to do, I will be at this show no matter what."
"Holy cow! On my way to Wembley already!" someone else tweeted.
Frontman Damon Albarn, 54, said of the reunion: "We really love playing these songs and thought it’s about time we did it again."
Lead guitarist Graham Coxon, 53, added: "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. A nice guitar and an amp turned right up and loads of smiling faces."
"After the chaos of the last few years, it’s great to get back out to play some songs together on a summer’s day in London," 58-year-old drummer Dave Rowntree said. "Hope to see you there."
