A year after they played two sell-out shows at Wembley Stadium in London, Blur are set to release a live album and a feature-length concert film of the event.

Blur released their debut album Leisure in 1991 and became the godfathers of Britpop across albums such as Modern Life is Rubbish, Parklife and The Great Escape, before taking a dramatic stylistic shift on albums Blur, 13, and Think Tank.
