ROAD WARRIORS REDUX: You’ll be able to see Nirvana in concert this summer after all--but you’re going to have to go to Europe. The trio, which has been kept off the concert trail due to what representatives call singer Kurt Cobain’s chronic stomach problems, will do a brief tour next month to make up for shows that were canceled last December because of the same stomach problems.

The Washington state trio has also decided to play at the annual Reading Festival in England on Aug. 31, but group manager John Silva says that it’s still unlikely that the band will make a U.S. tour before 1993, concentrating instead on recording a new album, though a few concerts are possible before the end of the year.

Meanwhile, another band that hasn’t toured for a while is keeping it that way. Reports from England had R.E.M. also lined up for Reading, but the band’s management says that the quartet is tied up working on its next album, which may be ready this fall. R.E.M. did not tour behind the release of its 1991, 3-million-selling album “Out of Time,” and no official plans have been made as to whether the group will tour this time.
