Shoegaze titans Slowdive are heading back Down Under in 2025, fresh off their sold-out 2023 tour, to once again drench Australia in reverb-soaked bliss. Kicking off in April, the UK dream-pop icons will take their ethereal soundscapes to Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, and Brisbane.

With over three decades of hypnotic sound behind them, Slowdive have earned their place among shoegaze’s greats. Expect walls of shimmering guitars, ambient nostalgia, and a setlist that dips into the iconic Souvlaki era and the critically-lauded 2023 record, everything is alive.

Joining them for the ride will be New York’s Beach Fossils—bringing their breezy indie hooks and wistful lyrics to Australian shores for the first time since 2023. Together, it’s a night of pure sonic euphoria, the perfect fusion of shoegaze, dream pop, and indie nostalgia.

Formed in Reading back in 1989, Slowdive’s Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell turned teenage friendship into musical magic. With Souvlaki now boasting 376 million Spotify streams, the band’s legacy continues to captivate a new generation of music lovers. As Beach Fossils slide into the support slot, fans can expect a dreamy double dose of emotional highs and shimmering guitars.
