Blur have hinted that their summer headline shows could be more than an opportunity for fans to hear their greatest hits.
Guitarist Graham Coxon suggested rather than the "high street route" - that would see the band playing their most famous songs - there was also "another route round the back, which is really interesting."
He told NME: "It's just about how many ideas we have, that's what Blur was about anyway.
"Between records, when we had time to explore, we'd bring a little knapsack back to the studio. Now we've got bloody huge trunks of stuff."
Frontman Damon Albarn also suggested that the band could be in the process of writing new material in preparation for the summer shows.
He explained: "I'm not going onstage and just singing all the time because I'm not doing that, I love playing music.
"But at the same time, we're not going to be doing 20-minute organ solos."
Blur are set to headline T In The Park and two summer gigs of their own at London's Hyde Park (2-3 July).
