    It was only a rumour, Coachella was the only semi-confirmed piece of information about them before this that I know of. Anyway, doesn't matter, I have my tickets! :D

    Did anyone go to the gig they did in the SFX during the 'Loveless' world tour in May '92?

    Yes.
    I finally got to see them play in April 1990 around the time of the Glider EP - a somewhat uneven gig in McGonagles which was hampered by sound problems.
    I felt that the SFX gig two years later was a far more enjoyable experience despite the fact that I think Isn't Anything towers over Loveless.
    I'm glad I wore earplugs.

    Nice. Yeah I've read that Kevin Shields used to recommend that people would wear earplugs if they were going to see them a lot. apparently they used to do a version of (I think it was) 'You Made Me Realise' with the stage monitors turned in to face the audience and the mid section of white noise extended to about 30 minutes just to see how much the crowd could handle.

    Yes, You Made Me Realise ended the SFX show - dragged out to almost 40 minutes in length. The final quarter of the song [after the white noise - usually one minute long] was done without vocals. Only 10% of people remained in the venue by the conclusion.

    Sounds pretty intense. Hopefully one of the concerts is professionally filmed. All of the old bootlegs on youtube have awful sound.
