Blur will release Live at Wembley Stadium in July, a new live album with audio taken from their two nights at Wembley last summer.

These were the biggest shows of the band’s career to date and saw Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree perform to over 150,000 fans on 8th and 9th July 2023.

There are three formats: a 2CD set which is the Sunday show in full (9 July), a 3LP vinyl edition which is also the Sunday show but drops ‘Lot 105’ to make it all fit, and then finally a 2LP ‘highlights’ option which takes, presumably, the best performances from across both shows.

The highlights 2LP version maintains the order the songs were performed on each night and offers 17 tracks (out of 26) and includes seven Saturday performances (8 July) not available in other any format. It also repeats 10 Sunday performances that are on the 2CD and 3LP. If you want every unique performance on a physical product, you need to buy the 2CD and the 2LP highlights. The only way to get a complete show is to buy the 2CD, because, as stated, that includes ‘Lot 105’ which is omitted from the 3LP edition. All vinyl is 140g.

A future home video concert film release is surely inevitable, but it’s not being issued now. First we must wait for a theatrical presentation of blur: Live at Wembley Stadium which will get a limited release in UK and Irish cinemas from 6 September.
