Blur are confirmed to release a new documentary and concert film charting their huge 2023 reunion. As Screen Daily reports, UK sales and distribution company Altitude has added the two upcoming titles to its European Film Market (EFM) slate. Both projects will be released in cinemas in the UK and Ireland later this year.
The first film is a feature-length documentary showcasing the Britpop band’s latest return, which saw Damon Albarn and co. record and release their first album in eight years, ‘The Ballad Of Darren’.
Additionally, Blur played two massive headline shows at Wembley Stadium in London last summer. These dates will be released in a forthcoming concert film called Blur: Live At Wembley Stadium.
The two films are directed by Toby L and produced by Josh Connolly via UK production company Up The Game, which previously worked on Liam Gallagher: Knebworth 22, Olivia Rodrigo: Sour Prom, Foals: Rip Up The Road and more.
Release dates for the two new Blur projects have not yet been announced. Late last year, Damon Albarn said it was “time to wrap up” Blur again and called their 2023 reunion “a beautiful success”. However, the band have since been confirmed for both editions of Coachella 2024. No further performances have been announced.
