My Bloody Valentine have confirmed a rare run of UK headline shows for November 2025, marking their first domestic tour in over ten years.
Following the rapid sell-out of their recently announced Dublin 3Arena date, the band will play three additional UK cities: Manchester, London, and Glasgow. The tour begins on Monday 24th November at Aviva Studios, heads to OVO Arena Wembley on Tuesday 25th November, and concludes at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on Thursday 27th November.
Tickets go on general sale Friday 4th April at 10am via mybloodyvalentine.org. Fans can gain early access through a pre-sale by signing up on the site by 9am on Monday 31st March. The pre-sale opens at 10am that same day.
The tour represents a long-awaited return for the legendary group, whose infrequent live appearances have only added to their mythos. Last year’s remastered vinyl reissues sparked fresh interest in their back catalogue, but a full headline run in the UK has remained elusive until now.
Known for their overwhelming volume and groundbreaking approach to sound, My Bloody Valentine’s influence on alternative music remains vast. Their return to the stage will likely be one of the most talked-about live events of the year.
