British shoegaze legends Slowdive have announced a UK/EU tour off the back of their new album ‘everything is alive’ which was released last Friday (September 1). Tickets can be purchased here.
The academy sized tour starts at the Parsdiso in Amsterdam on January 24th and commences in Manchester on February 27th. The band announced the tour alongside releasing new single ‘alife’.
‘everything is alive’ marks the band’s second album since reunifying in 2014 and releasing their self-titled album in 2017.
The new album ‘everything is alive’ deals with emotionally heavy themes as band members Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead both dealt with the death of a parent before beginning to record the album. Halstead has however gone on to say: “I thought it was going to be quite a dark record but once we got together as a band, I think some of that darkness lifted and some of the tunes became a bit lighter,”
The band has gained a big cult-following since disbanding in 1995, thanks to the influence of albums like ‘Souvlaki’ and ‘Just for a Day’. The cult-favourite band also played Glastonbury for the first time ever earlier this year.

The first part of the tour consists of dates mostly in Northern Europe in cities like Paris, Stockholm and Copenhagen whilst rounding out the latter half of the tour across academy venues in the UK.
The UK dates include stops in Brighton, London, Birmingham, Glasgow and many more.
The band are about to undergo a mostly sold out tour of the United States across September and October, before heading back to the UK and Ireland in October and November to play a selection of shows, of which most are already sold out.
Tickets for the UK shows will go on sale on Wednesday, September 16th and tickets can be purchased here. Ticket sale details have yet to be announced for the European dates. Tickets for Slowdive’s shows in Ireland can be found here.
