At The Drive-In are officially reforming!
This tweet appeared on what at first seemed to be a fake twitter account:
¡ ATTENTION !To whom it may concern:AT THE DRIVE-IN will be breaking their 11 year silenceTHIS STATION IS …NOW…OPERATIONAL
— At The Drive-In (@AtTheDriveIn_) January 9, 2012
It seemed too good to be true, until Jim Ward also tweeted the same message.
The pros at Antiquiet dug a little deeper, and now they can confirm that ATDI will be reforming to play at Coachella next year:
Reliable inside sources have led us to confidently believe that At The Drive-In will in fact be reuniting at Coachella 2012, with all original members, including Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodríguez-López.
Amazing!
Could the band be touring elsewhere, or will this just test the water? Needless to say, this will be one of the biggest music events in history and I’ll be flying over from the UK in a heartbeat.
As a result, I guess this blog will be revived to keep on top of the news, so make sure you bookmark it.
