Blur have unveiled plans to release a new live album and feature-length concert film, Blur: Live At Wembley Stadium, as well as an ominously titled documentary film, Blur: To The End.

On Saturday, 8 and Sunday, 9 July 2023, Blur performed at Wembley Stadium for the first time in front of 150,000 adoring fans. The live album will be released via Parlophone on Friday, 26 July, while the concert film will land in cinemas in the UK and Ireland on Friday, 6 September.

Highlights of the band’s upcoming live album and concert film included the classics: Coffee & TV, Girls & Boys, Beetlebum, Popscene, Parklife, and, of course, Song 2. Their latest album, The Ballad Of Darren, was also spotlighted with performances of The Narcissist and St Charles Square.

Blur will also release To The End to cinemas in the UK and Ireland on Friday, 19 July. The film captures the most recent, thrilling moments of the band’s career, including their return with their first new album in eight years. It’s also described as an “intimate moment in time” with the band.

Both feature-length films were directed by Toby L and produced by Josh Connolly via production house Up The Game and will be released by Altitude. Details surrounding international cinema releases will be announced soon.

The title To The End is particularly scary for fans, as frontman Damon Albarn revealed in December that he might be preparing to farewell Blur again.

“It is time to wrap up this campaign. It’s too much for me,” Albarn told French publication Les Inrockuptibles, per Far Out Magazine. “It was the right thing to do and an immense honour to play these songs again, spend time with these guys, make an album, blah-blah-blah.

“I’m not saying I won’t do it again; it was a beautiful success, but I’m not dwelling on the past.”
