Slide Away Festival Night One: Hum, Nothing, Chapterhouse
Shoegaze's golden gods are coming home: Hum's headlining night one of Slide Away Festival at the Aragon, where you'll get lost in walls of ethereal guitar noise alongside Nothing, Chapterhouse, and a killer undercard that proves the shoegaze revival is alive and well. The Aragon's ornate Moorish ceiling has seen everything since 1926, but rarely something this sonically immersive—expect packed bodies, hazy stage lights, and that specific kind of transcendent blur where the riffs wash over you like a beautiful fog. Festival passes run $75.75, doors are 17+, and you'll want to get there early because this isn't a "hang in the back" kind of night.
