New additions have been announced for DESERT DAZE 2018! Newly announced headliner, My Bloody Valentine joins the lineup along with legendary noise rock outfit, Shellac, complete with speaking engagement by Steve Albini. Another addition to the mix, composer and multi-instrumentalist Julia Holter will perform with an orchestra and string section.
