Late last year, we reported that Britpop OGs Blur had confirmed that they were reuniting, with guitarist Graham Coxon involved and everything. And after months of speculation, we can now report that the reunited quartet have signed on for their highest-profile gig in years: Alongside Bruce Springsteen, they'll headline England's Glastonbury Festival. "We're doing Glasto this year," frontman Damon Albarn tells NME. "We were asked last year, but we turned them down." Sick.

When Coxon left Blur in 2002, things seemed pretty icy between him and Albarn. But by all accounts, the two are getting along these days. On Wednesday night, the two played an acoustic version of Blur's "This Is a Low" at NME's Shockwaves Awards, their first time sharing a stage in nine years. Somebody at the show recorded pretty decent footage of the performance, and we Forkcasted it. Has to be said: these guys look right together.

Talking to NME after the show, Albarn said that rehearsals for the band's reunion shows were going well: "We're taking it really easy, to be honest with you. Just doing it once a week and enjoying it- playing every album, every song."

Blur will play their first reunion show at Manchester's MEN Arena on June 26. Glastonbury takes place June 24-28 in Pilton, England. They'll also play two shows at London's Hyde Park on July 2 and 3, headline Scotland's T in the Park festival on July 11, and play Ireland's Oxegen fest that same weekend, July 10-12.

God willing, they'll eventually make it over to the U.S.
