Blur have kicked off their tour for 2015 and while the setlist from show to show varies slightly, the basic format of what Australia can expect next month is in play.
Blur performed at Hyde Park, London last night (Saturday, June 20, 2015) and every album was represented with a least one song. Blur dug back to 1991’s debut ‘Leisure’ to perform ‘There’s No Other Way’ and its sequel ‘Modern Life Is Rubbish’ in 1993, performing ‘For Tomorrow’ in the encore.
Blur went east on the current album ‘The Magic Whip’ performing just four tracks. The star of the show was the 1994 album ‘Parklife’ with seven songs featured over the two-hour show.
