BLUR TO PLAY REUNION GIG AT PLYMOUTH PAVILIONS
With only a handful of dates up for grabs, Plymouth Pavilions has secured Blur to play a one-off show in the South West this summer.
Performing warm-up gigs in only three cities, Blur will head to Plymouth Pavilions on Tuesday 7 August 2012 ahead of their highly anticipated sold out return to London’s Hyde Park later this Summer.
The band will head to the seaside for a gig at the historic Winter Gardens in Margate on 1 August, followed by a return to Wolverhampton for the first time since 2009 to play two shows at the Civic Hall, and finally Plymouth Pavilions on 7 August.
‘Blur 21: The Box’ will be released on 30 July 2012. Twenty one years since the release of their debut album Leisure in 1991, the band’s body of work has been compiled and gathered together into one box. Blur’s seven studio albums are collected with over 5 ½ hours of previously unreleased material including 65 tracks, rarities, 3 DVDs, a collector’s edition book and special limited edition Seymour 7 inch vinyl.
Marketing Officer at Plymouth Pavilions, Robert Maltby said: “Once again the Pavilions punches well above its weight and clinches one of the biggest comeback tours of recent years. Plymouth is one of only 3 cities to be chosen to host the warm ups ahead of the Hyde Park gig, you could say we are very very excited!”
General tickets go on sale 9am Friday (18 May), priced £35+bf from www.eventim.co.uk Tickets limited to 4 per customer. There will also be 300 tickets available for collection in person at Plymouth Pavilions. Terms and conditions apply.
