To those of you who have tickets and were excited to see the band’s "first reunion" show June 20 at The Roundhouse, My Bloody Valentine have prepared a special announcement, just for you: "YOU’RE NUMBA THREE! YOU’RE NUMBA THREE!"

After having recently added Saturday Night Fiber and The Electric Picnic Festival to their international tour — not to mention the Loveless and Isn’t Anything remasters last month — My Bloody Valentine have announced two warm-up rehearsal shows for this Friday and Saturday at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts, mere days before the five-day Roundhouse stint. Aww. AWWWW.

The first rehearsal show features just My Bloody Valentine (haha, "just"), while the second show will receive support from Le Volume Courbe, a project of Charlotte Marionneau with whom Kevin Shields has previously collaborated. See, My Bloody Valentine are so damn cool that even their rehearsals have opening acts. (Fun fact: Le Volume Courbe will also be at the June 20 Roundhouse show, Bestival, and ATP NY.)

Tickets are NOT available at WeGotTickets.com, because TheyAin’tGotTickets. This shit’s long sold out already. Maybe you should scalp your Roundhouse ticket and try your luck here. Hey, £199.99 ($391.50) is the price you pay for some cultural currency!
