Blur are streaming last week's intimate showcase of The Magic Whip tonight on YouTube from 8pm.

Last Friday (20 March), 300 fans - who'd won tickets via a lottery - had the chance to witness new material from Blur's upcoming record; it was the first time anyone had seen the band perform any of the tracks live. They closed their set with "Trouble In The Message Centre" from 1994 LP Parklife, which they've not played in 20 years.

The band, in association with Beats by Dr. Dre, are 'live' streaming the show for everyone who was unable to make it last week.

The Magic Whip will be released on 27 April via Parlophone. It's their first as a quartet in over 16 years.

The show's stream is directed by Ed Coleman.

You can watch the stream below (or here) from 8pm GMT.
