After over a decade of inactivity, beloved 90s indie rock band Polvo is breaking their silence in a big way. As previously reported, singer/guitarist Ash Bowie (also formerly of Helium), singer/guitarist Dave Brylawski, and bassist Steve Popson have reunited to play the Explosions in the Sky-curated May 16-18 edition of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival (former Cherry Valence drummer Brian Quest Quast is filling in for original drummer Eddie Watkins).

But now, it has been revealed that the reunion will continue with a performance on the ATP stage at the Primavera Sound Festival, taking place in Barcelona, Spain from May 29-31. AND Polvo is planning a U.S. tour, starting with a couple of May dates in Washington, DC and Carrboro, North Carolina. Look out for East Coast and Midwest runs this summer, and a West Coast trek this fall.

Dates:

05-09 Washington, DC - Black Cat
05-10 Carrboro, NC - Cat's Cradle
05-16-18 Minehead, England - Butlins Holiday Resort (Explosions in the Sky All Tomorrow's Parties)
05-29-31 Barcelona, Spain - Primavera Sound Festival (ATP stage)
