Almost a decade on since the release of their debut album Aurora, Belgian shoegaze-meets-dream-pop act Slow Crush are finally touring Australia next year for the very first time.

Renowned for blending dreamy melodies with fuzzy riffs, the current lineup of founding members, vocalist and bassist Isa Holliday and guitarist Jelle Ronsmans, will be joined by guitarist Nic Placklé and drummer Frederik Meeuwis on their first debut tour down under.

Slow Crush kick things off in Adelaide on Wednesday 3 February at Jive, followed by concerts at The Tote in Melbourne on Thursday 4 February, Port Kembla's The Servo on Friday 5 February and Sydney's The Burdekin Hotel on Saturday 6 February, bringing their tour to a close at Black Bear Lodge in Brisbane on Sunday 7 February.

Tickets are on sale at 10am AEDT Friday 13 November via slowcrush.org.

Originally formed by vocalist/bassist Isa Holliday, guitarists Jelle Ronsmans and Jan Jouck and drummer Steve Cammaerts in 2017, Slow Crush dropped their debut EP Ease that same year, leading to the band signing with Holy Roar Records and releasing their first album Aurora a year later.

Slow Crush have gone on to release two more albums, 2021's Hush and 2025's Thirst, and developed an exciting live show that's seen them tour Europe and the States over the past several years.

Catch Slow Crush performing at Jive on Wednesday 3 February. Ticketing information is available at slowcrush.org.
