On 5 December, Albarn announced that Blur would enter another hiatus, saying, “[It’s] time to wrap up this campaign. It’s too much for me.” However, the band accepted a late night phone call offer to play 2024’s Coachella , with management giving them five minutes to decide, prompting Albarn to postpone the hiatus. Blur performed a warm-up sold out show at Pomona Fox Theater supported by Jockstrap on 10 April, the group’s first U.S. show since 2015. The band’s first week Coachella performance on 13 April drew significant media attention for the lack of crowd interaction during ” Girls & Boys ” and Albarn’s visible frustration. During the band’s second week Coachella performance on 20 April, Albarn said it was probably the band’s final show. In early May 2024, it was announced that July 2024 would see the release of a new documentary titled To the End .
