sold out in 2 ore di 10000 tickets ............
Ten thousand Blur tickets were sold out in under two hours this weekend, dotmusic can reveal.
Tickets for the shows - which take place at the Astoria theatre on May 8, 9, 10 and 12 - went on sale at 9am on Saturday, with demand so high that a fifth night (May 13) was added. All five nights were completely sold out by 11am.
"We expected a huge amount of interest in these gigs," said Ian Huffam of concert promoters Helter Skelter, "But to sell out so quickly is a great testament to Blur's strength."
Meanwhile, Blur's new single - 'Out Of Time' - received its UK radio premiere this morning, six weeks before its long-awaited release (April 14).
The track is the first to be taken from the band's forthcoming album, 'Think Tank', which is due to reach stores on May 5.
