SLOWDIVE IN CONCERT:

 

Pioneering British shoegaze band Slowdive made some of the biggest music news of 2014 when they reunited for a tour after nearly 20 years apart, and they continue to send indie rock fans over the moon whenever they perform their lush, atmospheric brand of dream pop in concert. Critics originated the term "shoegaze" in the '90s as a derogatory way to describe bands' lackluster stage presence, but Slowdive discredits the label every time they take the stage, turning out powerful performances that teem with electric energy and stylish showmanship. Dual singers/guitarists Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead trade off vocal duties, wrapping their soaring, reverb-soaked melodies in a gorgeous sonic wall of guitar textures that totally envelopes audiences. Meanwhile the rhythm section sets a relaxed groove with smooth basslines and unadorned drumming that lets the band's guitar-driven atmospherics shine. As they captivate crowds with chimerical favorites like "Shine" and "When the Sun Hits", Slowdive gives the impression that the two decades they spent apart had never passed, treating ticket buyers to a totally immersive concert experience that proves shoegaze remains as vibrant as ever.

 

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

 

Slowdive was formed in Reading, England in 1989 by singers/guitarists Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead, who named the band after a song by British post-punk act Siouxsie and the Banshees. After putting together a demo tape and playing shows, the group signed to Creation Records and released a self-titled EP in 1990. The record garnered rave reviews from NME, and the band followed up in 1991 with two more EPs that further put them on the map thanks to stellar songs like "Catch the Breeze", which topped the UK indie chart. The expectations these early EPs set for their full-length debut proved hard to meet--Slowdive's 1991 debut full-length Just for a Day received mixed reviews, despite landing at No. 3 on the UK indie charts. Their 1993 sophomore effort Souvlaki fared similarly, failing to impress critics even as the band's loyal cult following continued to grow. As shoegaze's popularity was eclipsed by Britpop and American alternative rock in the mid-'90s, Slowdive called it quits following the 1995 release of their third album Pygmalian. Over the next 20 years, critics revisited the band's three albums favorably, and today their early '90s output is considered among the best of the decade. Since reuniting in early 2014 for their first major tour in nearly two decades, Slowdive has floored fans with career-spanning performances while keeping hopes alive for the possibility of a return to the studio.

    by Anrocks on 5/17/25Fox Theater - Oakland - OaklandRating: 1 out of 5

    Awful sound & light show. Left early, so disappointed & sad. Love the Slowdive vibe & songs. Bought a shirt at merch before the show… so bad! Why so loud??? Sound engineer???

  • Amazing!!

    by Jen on 5/16/25Paramount Theatre - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5

    Flawless vocals! It was spectacular taking my teen daughter to see a band that I loved when I was younger! And they were so so good! Great light show and fun audience!

  • Slowdive 30 years later still killing it!

    by Sheldon on 5/16/25Paramount Theatre - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5

    I have been a Slowdive fan for a few years now and this is the first time I have seen them live. Needless to say, the show was amazing! They sounded tight, and just killed it! It was a perfect set with a great set list to boot. Will definitely see them again when they come through.

  • A magic atmosphere

    by MFresh on 5/15/25Fox Theater - Oakland - OaklandRating: 5 out of 5

    Slowdive creates a dreamy atmosphere with their music, with the magic voice of Rachel and the perfection of all the instruments. The show is essential, as the slowdive music, few lights, a minimal background graphic (Windows Media Player from the '00s style), and the band. Few words, smooth fades between songs, and this is it. A sober event that allows the audience to completely lose themselves in the music.

  • Slowdive concert @ Fox Theater in Oakland on 5-11-25

    by Mark on 5/14/25Fox Theater - Oakland - OaklandRating: 4 out of 5

    We saw Slowdive on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 11th, 2025, at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA. The band sounded great, and they really seemed to be into it that night. We had seats in the Loge, and the view was great. The sound was great too, albeit with the usual "Shoegaze"hazy vocals. (I understand that's part of the genre's charm, but I still wish the sound engineer would try to make the vocals just a bit more intelligible for those of us in the audience.) Oh well, we still loved their music and the crowd was very appreciative in being able to see them after such a long layoff.

  • Slowdive are the best ever

    by Ol' Dyl on 5/14/25Fox Theater - Oakland - OaklandRating: 5 out of 5

    Fifth time seeing them. They never disappoint. Amazing band, great songs. The ability to be massive and psychedelic but also intimate and personal is unparalleled. One of the best bands of my generation, but getting older hasn't in any way made them less relevant or slowed (lol) them down at all. They're still making great records. The new songs fit perfectly with their classic material. And they just seem like great people too. Like some regular people that just happen to be in the best band in the world. I can't say enough good things about Slowdive.

  • Dreamy, Emotionally-Dense, and Incredibly Memorable

    by Jack W. M. on 4/10/25White Oak Music Hall Lawn - HoustonRating: 5 out of 5

    Slowdive was magnificent. They were better than time and their reputation could have ever prepared us for. Everyone was moved by their lyrics and sound, only meagerly readied by familiarity, astonished by reality. We were also pleasantly surprised by the opener, Drab Majesty. It was hot but nice outside, and many people were definitely not prepared for that. It also wasn’t exceptionally well organized. I’d do it again — at least a hundred times.

  • Wow..

    by Juked1s on 2/10/25The Capitol Theatre - Port ChesterRating: 5 out of 5

    hold onto your sanity. this bands amazing. I can tell you more.. but you need to go see them. The pre-luminary or rather the band that played before them were really awesome and unique too. Im interested where their music/carrier is headed also
