Belgian Shoegaze Band Slow Crush Japan Tour—Five Shows in Osaka, Nagoya, Shizuoka, and Tokyo

Belgian shoegaze band Slow Crush is set for its first tour of Japan, with five shows scheduled from Thursday, January 31 to Monday, February 2, 2026, in Osaka, Nagoya, Shizuoka, and Tokyo (Shinjuku and Shimokitazawa).

Slow Crush has drawn acclaim for its heavy, noisy guitars rooted in grunge and post-metal, immersive textures influenced by slowcore and post-rock, gothic-tinged, ennui-filled vocals, and deeply melancholic melodies. Touring behind their third album “Thirst,” described by the band as “the heaviest we’ve written until now and 100% our best,” the band has honed its live performance to a high level, offering Japanese audiences a rare chance to experience its intensity firsthand. This tour is particularly recommended for fans of dark shoegaze.
