Blur brought fan-favorite ‘Country House’ back to their setlist at Primavera Sound on June 1, and played the rare track ‘Luminous’.

The Brit-pop icons took to the stage for their headline set at the Barcelona festival, performing a series of classics, rarities and new tracks from their upcoming album, ‘The Ballad Of Darren’.

One of the main highlights of the night came midway through their set, with Damon Albarn and co. performing ‘Luminous’ for the first time in 24 years. The lesser-known track is a b-side for the single ‘Bang’, which first appeared on their debut album ‘Leisure’.

More recently, ‘Luminous’ appeared on Blur’s b-side collection ‘Blur Present The Special Collectors Edition’, which was re-released for Record Store Day this April and featured a collection of B-sides taken from ‘Leisure’ (1991), ‘Modern Life Is Rubbish’ (1993) and ‘Parklife’ (1994).

They also performed fan-favourite ‘Country House’, which was preceded by a brief rendition of ‘I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside’. This was the first time that the song has been added to the setlist since the band embarked on their ‘Magic Whip’ tour, back in 2015.

“It’s so, so lovely to be back with my old friends again,” Albarn said to the audience during the first half of the set. “I’ve known them since I was young! I met Graham [Coxon] in school when I was 12. And here we still are.”

Elsewhere, two songs from their upcoming album LP ‘The Ballad Of Darren’ were also played: ‘St. Charles Square’ — which opened the 20-song setlist — and lead single ‘The Narcissist’. The album is set to arrive next month (July 21), and will be the band’s ninth studio album.

Blur included a variety of their most famous hits during the show too, including ‘Coffee & TV’, ‘Girls & Boys’ and ‘Song 2’. Check out the setlist below.

Blur’s setlist was:
1. ‘St. Charles Square’
2. ‘There’s No Other Way’
3. ‘Popscene’
4. ‘Tracy Jacks’
5. ‘Beetlebum’
6. ‘Trimm Trabb’
7. ‘Villa Rosie’
8. ‘Coffee & TV’
9. ‘Luminous’ (First time live since 1999)
10. ‘End of a Century’
11. ‘Country House’ (Tour debut)
12. ‘Parklife’
13. ‘To the End’
14. ‘Girls & Boys’
15. ‘Song 2’
16. ‘Intermission’
17. ‘This Is a Low’
18. ‘Tender’
19. ‘The Narcissist’
20. ‘The Universal’
