Blur - Coffee & TV Live Performance at Summer Sonic Tokyo
In August 2023, when Blur took the stage at ZOZO Marine Stadium for their electrifying live performance of "Coffee & TV" during the Summer Sonic festival, the band was basking in the glow of their latest album, *The Ballad of Darren*, released just a month earlier on July 21, 2023. This was a significant moment, marking their first new album in over eight years. Fans were arguably on an emotional rollercoaster, celebrating both nostalgic hits and fresh material. "Coffee & TV," a fan favorite from their iconic *13* album released in 1999, showcases Blur's ability to blend poignant lyrics with catchy melodies. The live rendition at such a vibrant festival highlighted the band's enduring relevance and connection with audiences, reminding everyone just how timeless their sound is—an enduring interplay of introspection and indie charm that has shaped Britpop and beyond.
