One year following their momentous two-night stand at London’s Wembley Stadium, Britpop legends blur commemorates the occasion with a new live album and concert film.

Transpiring on Saturday July 8th and Sunday the 9th, 2023, it marked the first time the classic combo of Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree got to play the iconic venue before 150,000 fans, no doubt a grand highlight of their 30-plus year career.

Song highlights include “The Narcissist” and “St. Charles Square” from their latest #1 album, the acclaimed The Ballad of Darren, as well as such fan faves as “There’s No Other Way,” “Popscene,” “Beetlebum,” “Trimm Trabb,” “Villa Rosie,” “Coffee & TV,” “Under the Westway,” “Out of Time,” “To the End,” “Parklife,” “Song 2,” “This is a Low,” “Girls & Boys,” “Tender” and “The Universal.”
