Damon Albarn's been writing operas and excelling with Gorillaz, Graham Coxon has gently disappeared into the musical dead end of art-punk, Dave Rowntree is training to become a barrister and hopes to be a Labour MP and Alex James has been living in a big house in the country writing an unspeakably smug Guardian column about organic cheese while telling wannabe musicians how bad they are on a C4 reality TV competition. But to be honest, Blur have always been loathsome art school gits. The important thing about them, the thing that will make this Hyde Park concert the gig of the year, is the effortless brilliance of the music. Endlessly inventive, gloriously catchy and tripping joyously from witty intelligence to boozy raucousness, they were the most influential guitar band of the 1990s and a great live act to boot. Book early, because Hyde Park will be absolutely heaving for this reunion. Just don't expect to see the Gallagher brothers in the audience...
