It will be Blur’s first Irish appearance since 2015 and it’s to be their only Irish show next year. Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree are set to play a greatest hits set. Guests to be confirmed for Dublin. Guests on the Wembley stadium shows announced last week, are slowthai, Self Esteem and Jockstrap so fingers crossed we get something similar.

“We really love playing these songs and thought it’s about time we did it again.”
Damon Albarn
“I’m really looking forward to playing with my blur brothers again and revisiting all those great songs… blur live shows are always amazing for me. A nice guitar and an amp turned right up and loads of smiling faces…”
Graham Coxon
“There’s always something really special when the four of us get in a room. It’s nice to think that on 24th June that room will be in Dublin’s Malahide Castle.”
Alex James
“After the chaos of the last few years, it’s great to get back out to play some songs together on a summer’s day in Dublin. Hope to see you there.”
Dave Rowntree
