Following their unforgettable debut at Maho Rasop Festival in 2018, British shoegaze legends Slowdive are set to captivate the audience in Bangkok once more on March 18 at "HYHBKK Live! With Slowdive" at Voice Space. This enchanting performance is part of their 10-day Asian tour in support of their latest album Everything Is Alive.
Fresh from an extensive European tour, Slowdive extends their journey across the continent with concerts in Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, and the latest additions Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore.
Formed in 1989, Slowdive -- consisting of vocalists and guitarists Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead, guitarist Christian Savill, bassist Nick Chaplin, and drummer Simon Scott -- originates from Reading, England. Renowned as a long-running indie rock band, Slowdive employs atmospheric vocal harmonies, rippling processed guitars and an ambient production sensibility. The quintet is celebrated as pioneers within the shoegaze scene and rose to prominence in the UK during the early 1990s. Their second studio album, Souvlaki (1993), was initially hailed as one of the best releases of the 1990s and a cornerstone in shoegaze music history.

Slowdive's unique dream pop and shoegaze sound has influenced modern bands like DIIV, Deerhunter, Tame Impala, Grizzly Bear, and notably, Beach House. The critically acclaimed dream pop band Beach House attributes their formation to the groundbreaking impact of Slowdive's Souvlaki. In 2023, Slowdive marked their return with the release of their fifth studio album Everything Is Alive which achieved significant success, becoming their first top-10 album in many countries. Prepare to be mesmerised as Slowdive takes the stage once again in Bangkok, delivering their ethereal and captivating musical journey through time and space.
