Highly revered UK 5-piece Slowdive stayed true to their promise of returning to Australia and New Zealand, as they kicked off a run of sold out nationwide dates, opening the tour in Perth with support from Blue Honey, before heading to Brisbane, Melbourne and Auckland.
Slowdive’s sound is big, beautiful and timeless and they bring with them a huge back catalogue of ambient rock infused gems from early albums like Just For A Day, Souvlaki and Pygmalion. Of their self-titled 2017 album, Pitchfork said “This is an album as thoughtful as it is beautiful.”
Their live show is frequently referred to as “pure sonic bliss”, giving fans the opportunity to immerse themselves in songs like “When the Sun Hits”, the beautifully understated “Sugar For The Pill” and “Alison”.
The Australian tour is bookended by appearances at Glastonbury and Japan’s Fuji Rock festivals and marks their long-awaited first visit to our shores since 2018.
