First full-band show in a decade as Graham Coxon announces Castle Park album and extensive reissue campaign

The LP, produced by Ben Hillier (Blur’s Think Tank), was originally intended as a follow-up to Coxon’s 2012 album A+E but was postponed due to Blur’s reunion activity that year.

Lead track “Billy Says”, a longtime fixture of Coxon’s live sets, is available now. The song finally receives a studio recording on Castle Park, which leans into the guitarist’s classic mod sound across its ten tracks.

The album arrives as part of a wider reissue campaign, spanning Coxon’s entire solo output, over the next 12 months. The first batch, released on 19 June, also includes reissues of his debut The Sky Is Too High (1998) and second LP The Golden D (2000). Further drops will cover the remaining studio albums: Crow Sit on Blood Tree (2001), The Kiss of Morning (2002), Happiness In Magazines (2004), Love Travels at Illegal Speeds (2006), The Spinning Top (2009), and A+E (2012). Soundtracks for The End of the F**ing World (2018 and 2019) and Superstate (2021) are also included.

Coxon will play a career-spanning headline show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on 28 November, his first full-band live performance in more than a decade.
