Blur to play at Hyde Park: July 3rd, 2009

NME.com has gotten the first video interview with Blur since the announcement of their reunion. And now they have announced the date and location for their first show:

July 3rd, 2009 at Hyde Park in London.

Parlophone has their own version of the interview on YouTube:


I have to say, it's a really great site to see all four of these guys back together. But it's especially great to see Graham Coxon back with the group (after his departure during the recording of 2003's Think Tank). As to what this means for Coxon's seventh solo record is unknown, but perhaps being dropped from his label had something to do with his willingness to reunite.
