Kevin Shields recently joined Scottish indie rock band Primal Scream during their Beyond the Pale festival set in Ireland this past Saturday. Shields is currently the lead singer and a songwriter for the rock band My Bloody Valentine, but he was a member of Primal Scream from 1998 to 2006. He was a part of their transition to a more prominent electronic-industrial sound, as reported in NME. While his primary role in the band ended then, he did collaborate with them a final time for the lead single of the 10th album, More Light, titled “2013.”
Now, Shields has finally reunited with the group. He joined halfway through their set to sing two hits from their 2000 album XTRMNTR, “Accelerator” and “Shoot Speed/Kill Light,” along with coming back out near the end of the set to sing their Top 10 track “Rocks” from their 1994 album Give Out But Don’t Give Up.

In other Primal Scream news, they announced a UK tour earlier this year to celebrate over 25 years of XTRMNTR, where they plan to play the album in its entirety. It’ll take place in September and take the band from Glasgow to Manchester to London and many more. Furthermore, they’ll be dropping The Bunker Trilogy, a special collection of reissues of some of the band’s albums, including XTRMNTR.
