"Slide Away, the shoegaze-focused music festival that takes place in multiple American cities, has announced its 2026 lineup. The '80s British cult-favorites Chapterhouse will headline alongside Hum, who are playing their first shows in nearly seven years, and Nothing, who are celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Tired of Tomorrow. Also slated to perform at select dates are Swirlies, Ovlov, Cloakroom, and Loveliescrushing, among others. The festival will take place in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles in May 2026."
"Chapterhouse, Hum, and Nothing will perform at all three of Slide Away's locations. The music festival begins on May 15 and 16 at New York's Brooklyn Paramount, with an undercard featuring Bleary Eyed, Lovesliescrushing, Manslaughter 777, She's Green, Swirlies, and Warmachine. Next, the festival heads to Chicago's Aragon Ballroom on May 23 with additional sets by Cloakroom, Lovesliescrushing, and Sunshy."
"Chapterhouse formed in 1987 in Reading, England, and released two albums during their original run-including the heralded shoegaze classic -before breaking up in 1994. They briefly returned in 2008 to join Ulrich Schnauss for a cover of their song "Love Forever" at a music festival, before formally reuniting the following year for a one-off show and, in 2010, a short tour."
Slide Away will take place in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles in May 2026 with Chapterhouse, Hum, and Nothing performing at all three locations. The festival opens May 15–16 at Brooklyn Paramount, continues May 23 at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom, and concludes May 29–30 at the Hollywood Palladium. Select-date performers include Swirlies, Ovlov, Cloakroom, Lovesliescrushing, Cloakroom, and others, with presale tickets available on the event website. Chapterhouse formed in 1987, released two albums during their original run, briefly returned in 2008, and reunited for shows in 2009 and 2010. Hum's live return follows the 2021 death of drummer Bryan St. Pere; Jason Gerken will join on drums, having filled in previously in 2015 and 2018. Nothing will mark the 10-year anniversary of Tired of Tomorrow during the run.
