The Return Of My Bloody Valentine

There are tickets for Sat and Sun on the website in London, but Friday is sold out. However, they are now selling tickets for the Friday on the phone again.

I suggest everyone relaxes.

However, I'm still umming and ahing as I'm broke and going on holiday tomorrow. Friend bought two for Friday on the phone 2 minutes ago, though, so I'm not lying.

(I have seen them three times anyway, y'know, and the last time wasn't actually that great)

Loads of tickets on ebay now starting at 99p for the Friday, although some still going for £200.

Hahahahaha

eBay ticket touts are scum.

touting should be illegal, srsly

I managed to get tix for the Sunday show, in the end, but not before an awful lot of hassle.

Thanks for Gigantic tip, caek. Got two for Glasgow there no bother. July seems an awful way off.

No problem. Thanks to myopic_void for the extra dates heads-up.

yes, I'd like to second the thanks for the tip-off about the extra dates - they weren't exactly announced were they? Maybe the notoriously stage-frighted Shields is half-hoping that no one turns up.

i picked a bad week to take a break from ILX: knew fuck all about this until very late last thursday night. still: managed to get tix for the second glasgow date, so GET THE FUCK IN!

they're selling monday tickets for the roundhouse now, just got mine

So, seeing as how Led Zeppelin have "Stairway" back in the singles chart due to downloads and the reunion gigs, what price "Soon" going in at 39 with a bullet?

oh man i'd LOVE that. the EP didn't even go top 75 last time.

29 My Bloody Valentine To Here Knows When Feb 1991

Yeah, the Tremelo EP charted, but annoyingly didn't get played on Top of the Pops. It would have been great to see whichever Smashy & Nicey were on duty that week having to grin while introducing a 'song' that sounded like someone whirling a hoover round and round their head. I think the Glider EP *was* top 75, but not top 40.

41, i think

Tommy Vance did the Sunday rundown on Radio 1 the week Tremolo charted; he said, "Amazing atmosphere on that record," as "To Here Knows When" faded out. Bless him.

glider was #40 on the singles charts in Number One magazine back in the day

This appears to be the real thing. I wonder if they will tour outside the UK?

My Bloody Valentine confirmed for:

Roskilde Festival (Denmark)
Benicassim - Festival Internacional de Benicassim (Spain)

and according to Pitchfork:

Øya Festival (Oslo, Norway)

I can just picture Ned booking his tickets now!

still plenty of time for this record to never come out

Will wonders cease to never?

but which one?

1. Roskilde - the big European festival in Denmark
2. Sunny Benicassim in Spain by the coast and a trip to nearby Barcelona
3. Øya Festival - festival with a growing international reputation in Oslo and a chance to meet up with Geir and ... Ted Parsons?

Ned vs. Geir: Place your bets!

I can just picture Ned booking his tickets now!

Hardly.

if this was a freebie all expenses trip ..which festival would you select?

US dates announced. http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/50411-my-bloody-valentine-announce-north-american-tour

No info on when tickets go on sale...

LA and Toronto on sale Friday - http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/1220959

Harmonia? Okay, that I didn't expect.

The Lilys inclusion brings the roffles. I hope they force them to do In the Presence of Nothing in full.

Santa Monica Civic two nights in a row. Who'd've thought. That 1992 Palace show was only about two-thirds full...

MBV and Dinosaur Jr., together again...memories of City Gardens, Trenton, NJ, 1992...(wonder if Deb Googe has fond memories of that awkward grad student who boldly approached her after the show, gulped, nodded and sheepishly slithered away)...

Someone convince me that the ATP festival is worth it, please. I'm so tempted to say fuck it and buy the tickets, but it's so, so, SO expensive and there aren't THAT many great acts.

And also, is there any place to camp out near the country club or Monticello NY in general? There's no fucking way I can afford the room if I do end up buying tickets.

Reatards Unite, buy the tickets. I just got a pair for my girlfriend and myself, no lodging included. You can figure out the lodging details later on. Sure it's a big fucking nostalgia trip, but it's gonna be a blast regardless. Especially for someone like me, who didn't get to see many of these bands back in the '90s.

and I mean, Harmonia?? as in the Cluster/Neu/Eno related Harmonia? fuuuuuuck that's incredible.

Ned, are you going to LA?

Harmonia reunited in 2007 and performed live for the first time since 1976, opening the Worldtronics Festival at the at Haus der Weltkulturen in Berlin, Germany on November 27, 2007.[1][2]

Harmonia will make their first live appearance in the UK on 18th April 2008. They will play on the opening night of the Ether Festival in the Queen Elizabeth Hall at Southbank Centre, London

Harmonia. Oh man. This is getting more and more tempting.

Saw tickets were on sale for the LA MBV show. Ticketmaster is charging $48.00 (+ undisclosed "convenience" charge). Kevin Shields needs a new pair of shoes.

Yeah, it's tempting. I'd really be interested to find out who the other 9 bands are - that could really make it or break it for me. But of course I may not have time for that.

Oh no, I would expect tickets to sell out in a day or two, max.

and re: Harmonia, this is basically their second live performance since 1976 ??

ah wait, third.

Fuck when does NYC go on sale! I need to set approx. 8 billion reminders.

Chicago on sale Saturday - http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/735716

Saw tickets were on sale for the LA MBV show. Ticketmaster is charging $48.00 (+ undisclosed "convenience" charge).

About what I would expect. Mmf. Still thinking about this.

Chicago is only $38. The problem is that the venue is the Aragon which is an awful place. Poor acoustics, no sight lines. Whatever. Fuck it. I'm there.
