In February 2012, Blur were awarded the Outstanding Contribution to Music award at the 2012 Brit Awards. Later that month, Albarn and Coxon premiered a new track together live, "Under the Westway". Blur entered the studio early that year to record material for a new album, but in May producer William Orbit told the "NME" that Albarn had halted recording. Blur released two singles "The Puritan" and "Under the Westway" on 2 July. That August, Blur headlined a show at Hyde Park for the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony which was followed by a world tour the very next year. On 19 February 2015, Blur announced on social media that they would be releasing their eighth studio album on 27 April, titled "The Magic Whip", Blur's first album in 12 years and first in 16 years in their original line-up.
