heatworld used to be a member of the Blur Fan Club – in fact, we even met our best friend via the penpal page (seriously! And 12 years on, we still spend our time wittering on to each other about our unhealthy Alex James obsession) so this is the most exciting news we’ve heard in ages. Blur have just confirmed their first gig in NINE WHOLE YEARS. Three quarters of the band (minus Graham, because it was during his moody phase) last played at London’s Royal Festival Hall in 2000, but now the FULL line-up – that’s Damon, Alex, Dave and Graham – will play at London’s Hyde Park on Friday 3 July next year. SCREAM! Sorry, Blur fans aren’t supposed to scream are they? *nods aloofly instead* Tickets go on sale this Friday (12 December) at 9am, and cost £45. Now, where did we put our flared cords and Adidas Gazelles…?
