The concert will be broadcast live on Radio 2 and BBC Sounds and visually streamed on BBC iPlayer from 7-9 pm on Tuesday, July 18. The BBC’s summer program consists of live music festivities across radio, TV, BBC Sounds, and iPlayer. This July, the celebration continues with BBC Radio 2 In Concert presenting an exclusive performance by Blur, as unveiled by Jo Whiley during the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on July 3. Notably, band members Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James, and Dave Rowntree are scheduled to perform in front of a select audience of Radio 2 listeners at the BBC’s Radio Theatre in the New Broadcasting House in London.

In addition to the live broadcast, the concert will be telecast on BBC Two and available on-demand on BBC iPlayer at a later date. The performance will also be available for replay on BBC Sounds for 30 days post-broadcast. Jo Whiley, the host of Radio 2 and a long-time Blur aficionado, assures that this concert will be a special experience for all Blur fans. Adding to the excitement, Jeff Smith, Radio 2’s head of music, will also be taking part in the event. With anticipation high, it’s exciting to anticipate the iconic band delivering both timeless hits and fresh material in such an intimate and prestigious setting. Alex James of Blur has promised an exciting lineup of their favorite tracks for the performance.

Blur last graced Radio 2 on Jo Whiley’s show in May, coinciding with the surprise announcement of their new album. Their upcoming record, “The Ballad of Darren,” scheduled for release in July, marks their first in eight years. This follows Blur’s announcement in November 2022 of a reunion to celebrate their 35-year anniversary. Importantly, Blur’s Radio 2 Concert enhances the vast array of live music already offered to music lovers by the station this year. To coincide with the announcement, BBC Sounds launched the Blur Artists Icon Collection, which includes a brand new Radio 2 program.
