Britpop favorites Blur have announced a reunion in 2023 for what will be their first headlining show in eight years.

The band will perform at London's Wembley Stadium on July 8, with slowthai, Jockstrap and Self Esteem serving as support acts.

Blur last toured in 2015 to support their album The Magic Whip. The band members last performed together in 2019, taking the stage at an event organized by frontman Damon Albarn to perform a three-song set.

It's unclear if a full tour — let along one with U.S. dates — is in the cards.

The band members appear to be busy with other, non-Blur related projects in 2023.

Albarn is plotting a new Gorillaz album called Cracker Island, expected to arrive in February. Guitarist Graham Coxon is planning to release an album with his project, THE WAEVE. While drummer Dave Rowntree is releasing his debut solo album, Radio Songs, in January.
