Attention Britpop fans! The rumour mill is spinning in the direction of not only a Blur comeback, but a gig in honour of Parklife's 30th anniversary to boot.

The Sun reports that the band — consisting of Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree — have been "privately masterminding" a gig at London's Wembley Stadium for their 1994 record's dirty thirty. 

"Britpop fans will want to shout this from the rooftop — Blur are back. The lads have been talking about this for a while and now it is becoming a reality," a source told the publication. "Their plans are being kept closely guarded but there is a concert at Wembley which has been pencilled in which will coincide with the 30th anniversary of their [third] album Parklife." 

While Parklife's 30th is still two years away in 2024, the band have reportedly been "clearing their schedules" to make sure the anniversary bash can happen. 

Though Blur are technically still together, they haven't released an album since 2015's The Magic Whip.
