TRAVEL TO HONG KONG WITH BLUR

TRAVEL TO HONG KONG WITH BLUR

Inspired by blur’s hit album The Magic Whip, Hong Kong’s famed Comic artist Kongkee of Penguin Lab has created a comic titled ‘Travel To Hong Kong With Blur’.

The 24-page visual companion to blur’s critically acclaimed Number 1 album The Magic Whip features the four members of blur as they undertake a traditional Manhua, futuristic adventure in Hong Kong.

To mark the comic’s release, a copy will be placed in a secret location in each of the towns where blur will play this week, being Glasgow (Barrowlands, 9th June), Blackpool (Empress Ballroom, 10th June) and Llandudno (Playhouse, 11th June). Clues for where to find the comic, which is signed by the band, will be posted on blur social platforms on the relevant show day. The person who finds the comic and tweets a photo of themselves with it, keeps the comic and wins a limited edition, signed print taken from the original comic art work by Kongkee.

blur will headline the Isle of Wight Festival on Saturday 13th June and at Hyde Park on 20th June as part of Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park before hitting the road across Europe to play Super Bock Super Rock Festival (Portugal, 17th July) and Benicassim Festival (Spain, 18th July). And the band will return to Hong Kong for a hotly anticipated show at the Convention and Exhibition Centre on 22nd July.
