Last week Blur teased fans on Twitter with a few cryptic tweets and pictures. Today the band released a video with their big announcement: On July 2nd Blur will perform two new songs they've written specifically for their upcoming Hyde Park show atop a rooftop in London, and the performance will stream live on Twitter. The band will play "Under The Westway" at 6:15 pm BST (1:15 pm ET), and "The Puritan" will follow an hour later at 7:15 pm BST (2:15 pm ET).
