Tickets for the Blur show will be up for grabs from July 18th.
Blur will perform their new album The Ballad Of Dream for the first and only time at a gig in London on July 25th.
The special Eventim Apollo concert is to also be broadcast as a global livestream via Driift which will then be on-demand from July 26th-28th.
The news comes shortly after the band completed their two nights at Wembley Stadium last weekend – ‘for the ages’, according to Live4ever’s review:
There’s something glorious about Albarn’s first vocals in the iconic venue being ‘I fucked up’, but the Scary Monsters-esque St. Charles Square is a reminder that Blur aren’t all about the past, with a promising new album due later this month. Shrewdly however, they only play two choice cuts from The Ballad Of Darren (both singles) and cram the rest of the set with something for everyone, fair-weather fans and the hardcore alike.
“Deemed a flop on release, it seems unlikely that even the never-lacking-in-confidence Albarn thought that Popscene would ever be played at Wembley Stadium but there it is, as large as life and louder than ever.”
