In addition to the album announcement, Blur has also revealed "Go Out," The Magic Whip's first single. You can stream "Go Out" now via the band's YouTube page.
Blur will also be headlining the British Summer Time Hyde Park festival in London on June 20 in support of The Magic Whip. Tickets will go on sale February 27 at 9 a.m. GMT. If you pre-order The Magic Whip on Amazon.uk by February 23, you'll receive an exclusive pre-sale code for the Hyde Park show. Visit BST-HydePark.com for all ticket details.
The Magic Whip is Blur's first album since 2003's Think Tank, but, more importantly, it's the band's first album to be fully recorded with founding guitarist Graham Coxon since 1999's 13.
Blur isn't the only Damon Albarn project to experience a recent resurrection, by the way. Earlier this month, it was announced that his cartoon band, Gorillaz, would also be returning.
