Produced by James Ford and recorded at Studio 13, in London and Devon, The Ballad of Darren is the band’s ninth studio album, their first since the chart-topping The Magic Whip in 2015.

Following on from "The Narcissist", which was released earlier this year, Blur share the brand new single, "St. Charles Square".

Blur are currently gearing up for their first ever headline shows at Wembley Stadium.

The band will welcome old friend and special guest Phil Daniels for a very special guest appearance on both nights at Wembley Stadium, with Sleaford Mods joining the line-up for the sold-out Saturday show, along with Self Esteem and Jockstrap. Sunday's show will see Paul Weller and The Selecter open for Blur, along with DJs Steve Davis and John Doran & Kavus Torabi.
