Profile Blur, along with rival band Oasis, defined the Britpop scene of the 1990s. Their eccentric lyrics and wild themes were a big hit and as a result the band has attained cult status. A string of popular hits in the mid-90s makes them one of the best British bands of all time. After a seven year hiatus, the band are back!
The band will be playing live at the Du Arena on Yas Island during the Formula 1 weekend. They are due on stage on Sunday, November 29. Tickets are part of the F1 package.
