If you've ever wanted to experience the swirling guitars and haunting vocals live, now is your chance to grab a ticket to history in the making.

Delving a bit deeper into their roots, My Bloody Valentine originally formed in Dublin in 1983, before embarking on a legendary journey that would take them to the heights of the music scene. After relocating to England, they became pioneers of the shoegaze genre, paving the way for countless artists. Despite going through various transformations and a lengthy hiatus, the band hasn’t lost their magic, as demonstrated during their surprise 2013 album ‘m b’ which had fans more ecstatic than ever. However, their return to Irish stage will certainly be a milestone for both the band and their devoted following.

This upcoming gig at the 3Arena isn't just a concert; it’s a dream come true for many! Between the nostalgic melodies of classics like "Only Shallow" and the fans who have waited decades for this moment, you can expect an overwhelming atmosphere. Add in other musical heavyweights like Lana Del Rey and Charli XCX who are also scheduled to perform in Dublin in 2025, and you have a summer of endless excitement lined up for the Irish music scene!

In a quirky twist, did you know that the band has been largely credited with shaping the sound of many modern genres, from alternative rock to dream pop? And here’s another fun fact: many fans still consider their 1988 debut album, "Isn’t Anything," to be one of the most influential records of its time, which laid the groundwork for the rise of the shoegaze movement. So gear up and prepare for an unforgettable night of sound as My Bloody Valentine finally reunites with their fans in Dublin!
