Slow Crush (BE) - Australia 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 with their debut EP, Ease, before cementing their place in the modern shoegaze renaissance with their breakout 2018 debut album, Aurora. SLOW CRUSH continued to captivate 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.

KERRANG! praised the album, stating: “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 established themselves as an immersive force to be reckoned with in a live setting, seamlessly blending lush, dreamy elements with crushing fuzz and distortion.

Having previously shared stages with Loathe, Flooding, Pure Hex, Gouge Away, Torche and Faetooth, recent SLOW CRUSH performances have been praised as “both intimate and expansive all at once” by Metal Epidemic and “a perfect set that was as dreamy as it was dark” by The Arts STL.

Following their 2025 appearance, Rockstadt Extreme Fest also praised the band 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.”

Featuring founding members Isa Holliday on vocals and bass and Jelle Ronsmans on guitar, alongside 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.
