Blur are to debut new material live on Twitter. They’ll perform two new songs via a worldwide live video stream at 3.15am Tuesday July 3 Australian Eastern Standard Time.

To be filmed and streamed live from a secret UK location, the two new songs — which the band have never publicly performed — are ‘Under The Westway’ and ‘The Puritan’.

Damon Albarn: “I wrote these songs for Hyde Park and I’m really excited about getting out there and playing them for people.” Go to @blurofficial at 3:15am to hear the first track and an exclusive band interview, followed by the second track at 4:15am (AEST).

Following the live stream, both songs will be available to download. ‘Blur 21: The Box’ will be released on July 17.
