Blur have announced that they will play the MEN Arena in Manchester on 26 Jun. The band have already announced two shows in Hyde Park in July, as well as headline slots at the T In The Park and Oxegen festival.
The band are also widely rumoured to be one of this year's headliners at Glastonbury, although everyone I know who paid all that money see them in Hyde Park has said they'll be very annoyed if they are. I hope they are.
Tickets for the Manchester show go on sale on Friday at 9am.
