The group announced details of the reunion show in November 2022, with Alex James saying: “There’s always something really special when the four of us get in a room.”

While frontman Damon Albarn said: “We really love playing these songs and thought it’s about time we did it again.”

Due to huge demand for tickets when they were released, the group added a second night at the iconic venue.
