Blur Confirm Reunion For London Hyde Park Gig

All four original members of Blur will reunite for a special concert in London's Hyde Park next summer.

The gig, on July 3rd, will be the first time the band's original line up have performed together since 2000.

The confirmation comes just weeks after frontman Damon Albarn revealed he had rekindled his friendship with guitarist Graham Coxon, who left the band in 2002.

They will be joined at the concert in London by bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree.
