My Bloody Valentine announce first show in years (Sonicmania fest w/ NIN, more)

When asked about whether My Bloody Valentine would really be releasing an album in 2018, Kevin Shields told Pitchfork, “We’re trying to do gigs starting in the summer. We’re going to play live again, so that’s always a really good way to guarantee that we’ll get the record done.” Whether or not we get that new album — Kevin says they “100% will” — they’re definitely playing shows. Or at least one show.
