Not only are Blur reuniting and not only are they said to be working on a new album, but they have now confirmed their first reunion performance since 2000.

Blur will perform a massive concert in Hyde Park on July 3, 2009.

How's that for some good news for a change!

After much dilly-dallying, Blur have FINALLY confirmed that they are indeed reuniting, for real this time. Damon Albarn, Alex James, Dave Rowntree, and, yes, Graham Coxon will take the stage for a concert at London's Hyde Park on July 3, 2009. This will be their first full-lineup performance since 2000.

It's pretty awesome. I didn't like their last album, so I'm keen to see what they'll bring this time.

Yes, some friends of mine are trying to get tickets (£45 a pop). I won't bother myself - I was a fan but not for £45 to be honest.

SOLD OUT IN 2 MINUTES! That's 50,000 tickets. Wow!

I was thinking that would happen. I must find out if my friends got some.

This is the greatest news ever, but the £45 tickets sour the deal. I mean, Damon Albarn always complained about huge gigs and now they're doing one in Hyde Park and charging £45?!?!? I've been one hell of a loyal fan, but I think that's stupid and disrespectful to fans. £45 a ticket? Just give me the CD
