Blur Reuniting This Summer For London Gig

Blur frontman and Gorillaz mastermind Damon Albarn is now "making public what's been going on a little bit privately." Blur has officially let bygones be bygones and will reunite with a July 3rd concert in London's Hyde Park. The 90s Britpop band has not recorded an album since 2003's Think Tank, most memorable for the departure of lead guitarist Graham Coxon, who left during the making of the album. Rumors swirled last year that Coxon had rejoined the band and a reunion was in the works.
"It just felt it was right again," Albarn told NME of Blur's return. "It somehow feels like there's something for us to do again, we're not completely useless or pointless, we've got a reason to exist.
The band has also got themselves holed up in the rumor mill as one of the headliners for Glastonbury '09.
"We'll do something in London because that seems sensible," Albarn elaborated to the UK music magazine, but without elaborating too much added, "...we're also playing in other parts of the country working up to there." There being Glastonbury. Get your wellies ready.
