My Bloody Valentine Album, Tour?

Posted by Ace Staff on December 23rd, 2008

My Bloody Valentine hasn’t released an album in 17 years. Up until earlier this year, they had not gone on a proper tour in 15 years. Their die-hard fans’ patience was rewarded by a string of European festival appearances, as well as a string of dates across North America. The legendary shoegaze band brought their ear-splitting show back on the road – and didn’t seem to have missed a beat since the early 90′s. What has fans really excited is the prospect of a new My Bloody Valentine album finally being finished. MBV mastermind Kevin Shields finally seems to have found his motivation to finish the follow up to 1991′s Loveless. “I realized that all that stuff I was doing in 1996 and 1997 was a lot better than I thought” Shields told the New York Time’s Jon Pareles. According to Shields, the band plans to finish the partially-completed album, as well as record new material as well. Rumors of an extensive world tour in support of those albums have been heard as well. In the short term, a reissue of MBV classic Loveless is scheduled to be released in January of 2009.

U2 1st to Play O2 Arena, Dublin

Posted by Ace Staff on December 14th, 2008

The Edge and Bono revisited a familiar site when they dropped in on the new O2 Arena in Dublin over the weekend.  The new arena was built on the site of the old Dublin venue, The Point.  The Point was a simple venue that was converted from a railway depot.  U2 fans will remember the venue from the Rattle and Hum movie.  The band performed Desire and Van Diemen’s Land at The Point for the Rattle and Hum movie.  They were the first band to play the venue. In keeping up with tradition Bono and the Edge were technically the first to play the new O2 Arena Dublin reprising their past performances during Rattle and Hum.  The performance certainly got many fans anxious about the new U2 album and 2009 U2 tour.  No details for a tour have been released but speculation about U2 planning their tour is underway.

Blur to Reunite for UK Gig, Possibly Tour

Posted by Ace Staff on December 10th, 2008

Frontman Damon Albarn and guitarist Graham Coxon have put aside their differences and reunite Britpop band Blur for a gig in London’s Hyde Park. The show will feature the band’s fulle lineup (including bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree) and will be followed by other festival appearances. “It just felt it was right again,” Albarn told NME in an exclusive interview “It somehow feels like there’s something for us to do again, we’re not completely useless or pointless, we’ve got a reason to exist.” A possible Glastonbury appearance has been mentioned, and a full world tour has been hinted at – but there are no formal plans announced beyond the July3rd headlining show at Hyde Park in London.
