Blur will make their triumphant return to Australia this year with an arena tour alongside their Splendour In The Grass headline set.

18 years since the Britpop favourites last toured Down Under, this year finally sees Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree return to Australian shores on the back of their eighth studio album, The Magic Whip.

Albarn has been active in this part of the world recently, having toured his solo record Everyday Robots here over the summer. The full Blur lineup, though, will be playing their biggest Australian shows yet on the upcoming arena tour. Opening the shows will be indie Brit artist Jamie T.

Join Blur (and all the people, so many people) at Qantas Credit Union Arena on Saturday July 25. Tickets go on sale 10am Friday May 1.
