Blur have been confirmed to headline Barclaycard Presents British Summertime Hyde Park on June 20!

The rockers announced the details of the gig earlier today (February 19) at a press conference, as well as brand new album, The Magic Whip.

Blur will be the only band to have played at the historic venue four times after this performance, making it quite the event this summer.

The band will also release their first album in 12 years on April 27, with Damon Albarn admitting that he thought they'd gone as far as they could without new music.

“I really felt at the end of the last gigs that that was it - there was no way we could do another gig without an another album," he told Zane Lowe at the announcement.

Taylor Swift, Kylie and The Who are also headlining their own BST gigs this summer, with the likes of Johnny Marr, Ellie Goulding and John Newman among the special guests.

Tickets will go on sale for the event Friday 27 February at 9am at http://www.bst-hydepark.com.

I'm gettin' sad alone
Dancing with myself
Greedy go-getter goal
The luxury of stealth

I'm seedy and the whole,
Dancing with myself
I get into my bed
I do it to myself

To the local,
To the lo-o-o, I go out
To the local
By myself
To the local

I did it to my head
There's nothing to be addressed now
There's nothing to get up about
Cause we do it all the time
The shepherd is undone
She done it all again
I get ready to go
The greed go-getter con

He going to the local
He going to the local
O-ohh
He going to the local
He going to the local

To many western men
It's a problem left undone
Imperious the sign
The papers of luxury
A greedy go-getter in the skybox
She run alone
She get ready to go
She does it with herself

She does it with herself
She does it with herself
She does it on her own
She does it on her own
