Blur have announced a new documentary titled Blur: To the End, which centers around their 2023 reunion. Watch the trailer below.
The clip offers a glimpse into behind-the-scenes footage of the band reconnecting to record their comeback album, The Ballad of Darren, and preparing for their reunion tour. “I’m just concerned that we do it as honestly as humanly possible for people like us,” Damon Albarn says.
According to the official description, the film “follows the unique relationship of four friends — and bandmates of three decades — Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James, and Dave Rowntree as they came together in early 2023 to record new songs ahead of their sold-out, first ever shows at London’s Wembley Stadium in July last summer.”
For now, To the End is only slated for release in UK and Irish cinemas beginning on July 19th, but the band has promised details of an international theatrical release are “coming soon.” Get tickets here.
Last month, Albarn told the crowd at Blur’s Coachella weekend two performance that it was “probably” the band’s “last gig.” The announcement came after the singer expressed frustration about the lackluster crowd response to their set during the first weekend.
