Blur are reportedly planning to announce a comeback gig at Wembley Stadium in the near future.

'90s Britpop legends Blur are reportedly planning to announce a comeback gig at Wembley Stadium in the near future.

The group have been on hiatus for the last seven years following the release of their record The Magic Whip - their sixth album to hit the top spot.

According to The Sun, the four-piece have been in talks for the last year about staging a gig to mark three decades since the release of their 1994 defining album Parklife.

A source told the newspaper: "Britpop fans will want to shout this from the rooftop – Blur are back.

"The lads have been talking about this for a while and now it is becoming a reality.

"Their plans are being kept closely guarded but there is a concert at Wembley which has been pencilled in which will coincide with the 30th anniversary of their second album Parklife.

"It is all incredibly exciting and the band are all totally on board and are clearing their schedules ready to get going again."

The group last played live together in a surprise gig in March 2019.
