Slow Crush Australian Tour 2027
Set to make their long-awaited Australian debut in 2027, Belgian shoegaze-meets-dream-pop act SLOW CRUSH will bring their hypnotic live show down under next February for their first ever headline run.
Commencing on Wednesday 3 February in Adelaide, SLOW CRUSH will journey through Melbourne, Port Kembla and Sydney, before concluding on Sunday 7 February in Brisbane.
Forming in 2017, SLOW CRUSH introduced the world to their gripping sonic duality via their debut EP Ease before cementing their place in the modern shoegaze renaissance with their breakout debut album, 2018’s Aurora. SLOW CRUSH continued to enamour with 2021’s Hush and 2025’s Thirst, along with their most recent outing, 2026’s Thirst Extended which expanded on the acclaimed original LP that prompted KERRANG! to praise, “Thirst proves a repository for new ideas that swerve the generic…anyone seeking exquisite, emotional shoegaze will find their desires quenched by Thirst.”
For just shy of a decade, SLOW CRUSH have also established themselves as an immersive force to be reckoned with in a live setting, revered for seamlessly blending lush, dreamy elements along with crushing fuzz and distortion. Previously sharing stages with Loathe, Flooding, Pure Hex, Gouge Away, Torche and Faetooth, recent SLOW CRUSH performances have been praised for being “both intimate and expansive all at once” by Metal Epidemic, while the group have also been hailed for delivering “a perfect set that was as dreamy as it was dark” by The Arts STL, and acclaimed for proving “that heaviness isn’t always about speed and aggression. Their immersive blend of shimmering melodies, dense guitars and hypnotic atmosphere captivated the crowd from start to finish” by Rockstadt Extreme Fest after their 2025 appearance.
With founding members, vocalist and bassist Isa Holliday and guitarist Jelle Ronsmans, joined by guitarist Nic Placklé and drummer Frederik Meeuwis, SLOW CRUSH will finally tick off their first Australian performances in 2027; prepare to Swoon and quench your Thirst for one of the most exciting modern shoegaze bands on the scene next February.
