Up for air: Re-formed Blur to play Oxegen

NEWLY reformed ’90s Britpop band Blur are set to play the Oxegen festival in Kildare this summer.

The group, who re-formed in December, will play their one and only Irish gig at the Punchestown festival in July.

Blur burst onto the scene more than a decade ago and had a number of chart topping hits such as Song2, Parklife and The Universal.
