Seminal U.K. shoegazer act My Bloody Valentine is considering an offer to reunite and co-headline the 2008 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. A tour would follow later in the year, according to a report on the Daily Swarm.
Best known for its profoundly influential 1991 album "Loveless," the Kevin Shields-led group has been inactive since 1995, although in recent years there have been occasional reports that it was working on a new album and a boxed set featuring unreleased material.
Coachella booker Paul Tollett politely declined comment on the report, but an MBV appearance would fit the festival’s profile for luring long-dormant groups like Rage Against The Machine, Daft Punk and the Jesus & Mary Chain back onto the live stage.
It is understood that Tollett has been pursuing My Bloody Valentine to play at Coachella for several years; the rumors were loudest in the run-up to the 2005 edition of the event, which was headlined by Tool and Depeche Mode.
