Blur have announced via their official Facebook that they have been booked to play a special ‘Best of British’ show in London’s Hyde Park, coinciding with the Olympics Closing ceremony. Late yesterday the band posted the following:
“We're rowing in.. going for gold.. grabbing the baton.. for the high jump.. No, hang on, is that right? Fact is, Blur have accepted the invite to headline the Olympics' Closing Ceremony Celebration Concert in Hyde Park on 12th August.”
The show, on August 12th, will also feature fellow legends New Order and The Specials, and an as yet unrevealed guest. Tickets for the event, priced £55 plus booking fee, go on sale Friday 24th February, and are available from here.
