Blur - Beetlebum Live Performance at Hyde Park London

Venue: Hyde Park Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: August 12, 2012

In August 2012, when Blur headlined a triumphant performance at Hyde Park, they were basking in the glow of resurgence, notably following the release of their album "The Magic Whip" in 2015. However, leading up to that historic concert, they had not released new music since "Think Tank" in 2003, which had marked a shift in their sound. The Hyde Park show was a notable reunion, celebrating two decades since their iconic album "Parklife," and they delivered memorable tracks like "Beetlebum," blending nostalgia with the excitement of a crowd eagerly welcoming their return. Interestingly, this performance wasn’t just a nostalgic trip down memory lane; it served as a backdrop to a revitalized Blur, reminding everyone of their indelible mark on Britpop while reigniting their creative spark. The concert turned out to be a pivotal moment, creatively and commercially, paving the way for their next exciting chapter.
