Diehard Brit-poppers can rejoice, as this past weekend, U.K. popsters Blur reunited with original members guitarist Graham Coxon and bassist Alex James for the first time since 2000 and played the East Anglian Railway Museum in Colchester, Essex, in preperation for its Glastonbury show later this month and a July 3 Hyde Park concert. The band has several unorthodox venues on its schedule this month—including the art school where Graham and Alex matriculated and tonight, a secret gig in London. ‘Tis a shame that Lollapalooza isn’t on their itinerary—but it never hurts to dream, right?

if Blur got added to Lollapalooza I would die!
I’m just hoping for any show in America at this point.
