Blur announce rare series of intimate UK warm-up gigs

The small venue shows will prepare the band for their stadium dates later this year

Blur have announced a run of intimate UK gigs ahead of their much bigger 2023 re-union shows happening this summer.

Fans have a rare opportunity to see the Brit Pop icons play a series of small venues around the country next month, kicking off at Colchester Arts Centre on 19th May, before playing dates in Eastbourne, Wolverhampton and Newcastle.

The intimate gigs will act as a warm up for the band's duo of shows at London's Wembley Stadium later in the year, as well as a busy summer of European festival touring.

If you've ever dreamed of seeing the iconic band play in a small venue but don't have a time machine, this might be one of the only opportunities you'll get.

A fan pre-sale went live today (26th April) at 10am BST, with general sale starting on Friday 28th April at 10am. Sign up for tickets here.
