Blur will debut two new songs next Monday, 2 July, in a live video stream on Twitter.

They will perform Under the Westway and The Puritan from a secret UK location, which will be broadcast around the world on Twitter.com/blurofficial at 6:15pm.

The band will be interviewed following the performance of the first track, and both songs will be available to download immediately after the session.

Blur will perform at a sold-out Hyde Park show on 12 August, alongside The Specials and New Order, to mark the closing of the 2012 Olympic Games.

Damon Albarn, the band's lead singer and songwriter, said: 'I wrote these songs for Hyde Park and I’m really excited about getting out there and playing them for people.'
