In June 2010, [[Matador Records]] announced that the "Classic '93–'96 Lineup" would reunite to perform at the label's 21st Anniversary celebration in Las Vegas, in October of that year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.matadorrecords.com/matablog/2010/06/29/matador-21-in-las-vegas-oct-1-3-let-the-crazy-speculation-begin/ |title=Matador 21 in Las Vegas |publisher=Matadorrecords.com |date=June 29, 2010 |access-date=November 17, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121030150253/http://www.matadorrecords.com/matablog/2010/06/29/matador-21-in-las-vegas-oct-1-3-let-the-crazy-speculation-begin/ |archive-date=October 30, 2012 }}</ref>  A full reunion tour was subsequently announced, with the band selling out nearly every date. The tour included stops at Hoboken's [[Maxwell's]] and the Southgate House in Newport, Kentucky, two venues that the band had built a history with due to legendary shows there in the past.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.buzzgrinder.com/2010/guided-by-voices-reunion-tour-dates-announced/ |title=Guided By Voices Reunion Tour Dates Announced |publisher=Buzzgrinder.com |date=July 15, 2010 |access-date=December 20, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110930022303/http://www.buzzgrinder.com/2010/guided-by-voices-reunion-tour-dates-announced/ |archive-date=September 30, 2011 }}</ref> When asked by [[Spinner (website)|''Spinner'']] if there might ever be another proper GBV record Pollard said "I've thought about it sometimes but it's a very long shot," he says. "We all kind of do our own thing. I'm not completely eliminating the possibility."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spinner.com/2010/12/23/guided-by-voices-robert-pollard-reunion-new-album/ |title=Guided by Voices' Robert Pollard Won't 'Eliminate' Possibility of New Album |publisher=Spinner |date=December 23, 2010 |access-date=December 20, 2011 |archive-date=August 6, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120806155607/http://www.spinner.com/2010/12/23/guided-by-voices-robert-pollard-reunion-new-album/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

On September 21, 2011, it was announced that a new GBV album, ''[[Let's Go Eat the Factory]]'', had been recorded for release in January 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.buzzgrinder.com/2011/guided-by-voices-new-album-lets-go-eat-the-factory/ |title=Guided By Voices Releasing New Album, Let's Go Eat the Factory |publisher=Buzzgrinder.com |date=September 21, 2011 |access-date=December 20, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120071515/http://www.buzzgrinder.com/2011/guided-by-voices-new-album-lets-go-eat-the-factory/ |archive-date=January 20, 2012 }}</ref>

On January 4, 2012, the band performed their single "The Unsinkable Fats Domino" on the ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]'' to promote ''Let's Go Eat the Factory''. During their performance, bassist [[Greg Demos]] fell while attempting a dance move. However, Demos was not seriously injured and the band continued to perform their song.

The band canceled what was to have been their first post-reunion show in the UK at the [[All Tomorrow's Parties (music festival)|All Tomorrow's Parties]] 'I'll Be Your Mirror' festival at Alexandra Palace, London, in May 2012<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.atpfestival.com/events/ibymlondon2012.php |title=I'll Be Your Mirror London 2012 curated by Mogwai & ATP&nbsp;— All Tomorrow's Parties |publisher=Atpfestival.com |access-date=December 20, 2011}}</ref> as well as a planned appearance at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona. The band's management denied reports that the cancellations were due to them splitting up again and confirmed they were still working on new material.<ref>{{cite web|last=Phillips |first=Amy |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/44833-the-afghan-whigs-to-reunite-for-atp/ |title=The Afghan Whigs to Reunite for ATP  |work=Pitchfork |date=December 7, 2011 |access-date=December 20, 2011}}</ref>

The band released a second post-reformation LP, ''[[Class Clown Spots a UFO]]'', on June 12, 2012. Generally regarded by fans as the best of the latter-years' albums, it marked a return in tenor and quality to this line-up's mid-90s heyday. A third, ''[[The Bears for Lunch]]'', followed in November.<ref>[http://exclaim.ca/News/guided_by_voices_reveal_release_details_for_class_clown_spots_ufo_announce_yet_another_new_album Exclaim], "Guided By Voices Reveal Release Details for 'Class Clown Spots a UFO,' Announce Yet Another New Album", April 18, 2012.
