Get ready for a sonic adventure like no other! Belgian shoegaze sensations Slow Crush are set to conquer North America in March 2026, and they're bringing along the captivating sounds of She's Green and Spite House. But here's where it gets exciting: this tour isn't just about the music—it's a cultural movement. On March 14th, Slow Crush will unveil their highly anticipated 'Ebb & Flow Festival' in Santa Ana, California, marking the beginning of a global celebration that will also hit London and Europe. And this is the part most people miss: the festival's U.S. debut promises a lineup that's still under wraps, leaving fans eagerly speculating about the artists who will join this groundbreaking event. Is this the start of a new era in shoegaze festivals, or just another concert series? You decide.
The tour kicks off in San Diego on March 13th and winds through iconic venues across the West Coast and beyond. From the intimate SOMA Sidestage to the grand Observatory, each stop offers a unique experience. Imagine swaying to dreamy guitar riffs in Boise's Shrine Ballroom or discovering hidden gems at Vancouver's The Pearl.
