More than 30 years after forming, British band Slowdive are back and bringing their rich, reverb-drenched sound to Hong Kong’s AsiaWorld-Expo following a largely sold out European tour.

Slowdive rose to fame in the early 1990s as pioneers of the shoegaze genre – a fuzzy, distorted wall of sound that is at once dreamlike, nostalgic and full of longing.

The band’s 2023 album everything is alive– their first since 2017 – has been called “their best yet,” by music magazine Paste, while the Wall Street Journal described it as “perfect music for the summer’s end, an album to be experienced under a thick blanket while watching the sun disappear behind the trees.”

They will be supported on March 14 at AsiaWorld-Expo by Japanese singer-songwriter Ichiko Aoba who pens mysterious, modern folk music.
