Damon, Graham, Alex and Dave will be talking to . Two of them will be exclusive for online viewers at 7, as you can , direct from Maida Vale. Amazingly it鈥檚 the first live session Blur will perform for 6 Music, although Steve Lamacq鈥檚 relationship with the band dates back to the early 1990s when they were still called .

Then at 8pm. Blur will be , performing for a full hour. You can see them in action , on the and over on the as well. We鈥檙e keen that our content lives in a variety of digital spaces so it serves as many licence fee payers as possible. The whole set will also be live on the red button on satellite and cable. We can鈥檛 squeeze on to Freeview due to the wealth of amazing Olympics coverage but we will be repeating the gig on that platform in September.

Listeners and viewers will be able to take part in a live blog and we will try and get the band into it too. It鈥檚 going a memorable night for all Blur fans, you can take part on the hashtag .
