Good Ole Fashion Rock N Roll by London based Jim Jones Revue

Blur’s two upcoming shows at London’s Hyde Park are set to be released as official live bootlegs immediately after the concert’s take place.

The gigs on July 2nd and 3rd will be available to purchase online directly from the band’s web site at blur.co.uk, costing £10 for a download or £15 for a limited edition CD which also includes photographs of the gig’s.

The shows in London follow the band’s recent headlining slot at Glastonbury where they triumphed on the pyramid stage, playing a career spanning set peppered with their best known hits as well as album tracks.

The band have more live dates penned in after the Hyde Park gigs, including headlining appearances at Scotland’s T in the Park and Ireland’s Oxygen, yet have remained tight lipped over their future.

Blur recently released ‘Midlife – a beginner’s guide to Blur’, a 2 disc ‘best of’ compilation which includes ‘Popscene‘, a stand-alone single which has never featured on one of their albums until now.
