Britpop legends Blur are on their way Down Under for the first time in 18 years. Yes, Damon Albarn and co. are finally fulfilling on that obscure promise they made all those years ago – “It really, really, really could happen” – and coming to our shores to headline Splendour In The Grass, as well as play their biggest ever standalone shows on Australian soil. The rekindled enthusiasm for all things Blur follows the release of their comeback album, The Magic Whip – a universally acclaimed return to form, crafted out of five days’ worth of recordings in Hong Kong two years ago. Blur certainly are excited to be coming back to Australia, and you can read all about their visit in our interview on p.11 this week.
Blur will play Qantas Credit Union Arena on Saturday July 25 with support from Jamie T, and we’ve got two double passes to give away.
