My Bloody Valentine delivered their frist concert in seven years on November 21st, 2024, at the 3Arena in dublin, Ireland, marking a important return for the influential shoegaze band. The performance signaled the launch of a wider tour spanning Europe, Asia, and potentially beyond, reigniting excitement among long-time fans and introducing their immersive soundscapes to new audiences.

Their impact on alternative music remains profound, influencing countless artists across genres. this tour offers a rare opportunity to experience their sonic textures in a live setting,a privilege previously limited to dedicated followers.
