Founded in the early 1980s, Irish band My Bloody Valentine returned from a 22-year break from recording in February, and will now perform at Flow this August. Their previous record, 1991’s Loveless, has become one of the most highly praised, undeniable classics in its genre with its uncompromising buzz. This year’s m b v is one of the most impressive comeback records ever.

Other new additions to Flow’s lineup are New York’s Parquet Courts withits garage-sounding ruckus and roll, the new star of alternative pop, Grimes, and Junip, the band fronted by the master of timeless folk José González.
