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

“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…” Graham Coxon

“There’s always something really special when the four of us get in a room. It’s nice to think that on 8th July that room will be Wembley Stadium.” Alex James

“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. Hope to see you there.” Dave Rowntree
