Blur will play a second and final Wembley Stadium date next summer after selling out their first show in record time.
The group is set to reunite on July 8 for what was billed as their first and only UK performance of 2023 – their first since 2015.
However, a second date has been announced to meet the extraordinary response from fans around the world, after tickets swiftly sold out.
Due to phenomenal demand, Blur will play a second date at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 9 July 2023

Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree will perform iconic hits and fan favourites for their first gig at the venue. Joining the line-up is chart-topping rapper Slowthai, singer-songwriter Self Esteem and electro pop duo Jockstrap.
Speaking on the announcement Damon Albarn says: “We really love playing these songs and thought it’s about time we did it again.”
“I’m really looking forward to playing with my blur brothers again and revisiting all those great songs,” continues Graham Coxon. Blur live shows are always amazing for me. A nice guitar and an amp turned right up and loads of smiling faces…”
Alex James adds: “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.”
“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,” says Dave Rowntree. “Hope to see you there.”
