My Bloody Valentine<\/a> have performed a secret show, marking their first gig since 2018 \u2013 see footage, the setlist and more below.<\/p>\n

Yesterday (November 19), the band performed at the National Stadium in Dublin, Ireland under the moniker Isn\u2019t Anything \u2013 a nod to their 1988 album of the same name.<\/p>\n

Per the Brooklyn Vegan<\/a>, the secret set \u2013 which served as a warm-up for their forthcoming shows<\/a> \u2013 was scheduled to take place at a smaller venue but was bumped up to the 2000-capacity National Stadium due to overwhelming demand.<\/p>\n

While fans in attendance did not get to hear unreleased music, the band performed \u2018Off Your Face\u2019 from 1990 EP \u2018Glider\u2019 live for the first time ever. Elsewhere they performed a slew of fan favourites, including \u2018I Only Said\u2019, \u2018Only Shallow\u2019, \u2018Feed Me With Your Kiss\u2019 and more.<\/p>\n

Footage from the secret gig is scarce at the moment, but you can see a clip of them performing \u2018Soon\u2019, as well as photos from the crowd below.<\/p>\n
