Blur - Song 2 Performance at the London 2012 Olympic Games

Venue: Olympic Stadium Location: London, United Kingdom Date: July 27, 2012

During the exhilarating summer of 2012, Blur was experiencing a triumphant resurgence marked by nostalgia and celebration. Their performance of “Song 2” at the London Olympic Games, held on July 27, served as a rousing highlight during the opening ceremony. This moment came just a year after the release of their album "The Magic Whip," which arrived in 2015, but little did the world know that Blur had also reunited in 2009, embarking on a remarkable journey back into the spotlight. It was all about reconnecting with their roots while spanning generations of fans through hits that resonated with memories of the ‘90s Britpop era. The excitement in the air that day felt electric; it was a homecoming not just for the band but for an entire culture—celebrating the revival of a sound that had once defined a musical movement. Plus, seeing “Song 2” live at such a global event was an emotional nod to their enduring legacy. Could there be any better backdrop for a song that’s synonymous with exuberance and raw energy?
