Dream pop outfit Lush will reunite after two decades. The band has confirmed a performance at the London Roundhouse for May 6th, 2016. This will be their first concert since September 1996.
“The opportunities and practicalities of reforming Lush meant that for 20 years it was an impossible undertaking,” guitarist Miki Berenyi says in a statement. “But we all loved what we did, and the time is finally right for us to do it again.”
During the reunion, 4AD will reissue Lush’s best-of compilation, Ciao!, in November, followed by a limited-edition boxset called Chorus in December. That’ll comprise early compilation Gala, their three studio albums, B-sides set Topolino, and a handful of other rarities. Justin Welch of Elastica will play drums at the Roundhouse show.
