Modest Mouse and Slowdive to Headline New Touring Festival Daydream

It's a great day to be an indie music lover with the announcement of new touring festival Daydream, which boasts an incredible lineup with a range of international heavy hitters. 

Set to kick off in April, the festival will tour through Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane so all the major cities get a taste of what this new event has to offer. 

Returning to Australia for the first time since 2016, Modest Mouse will headline the show, bringing their massive catalogue of hits, including tracks from the revered The Lonesome Crowded West, which celebrated its 25th anniversary last year.

UK legends Slowdive will also feature, bringing with them their classic ambient rock-infused tracks from their newest album, Sugar For The Pill, as well as hits from albums like Just For A Day and Souvlaki that made waves in the 90s. 

Tropical Fuck Storm are also set to grace the stage, which comes as a surprise since their shock announcement that founding bassist and vocalist Fiona Kitschin has been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer, and the band stated that they would have to "play everything by ear." in reference to their already booked shows. 

Brooklyn’s Beach Fossils will join the already amazing lineup along with Cloud Nothings and Majak Door.

Tickets to the touring event will go on sale on Friday the 3rd of February, 9am local time and will range from $129.90 to $149.90 plus BF. The link can be found here.

There will also be a presale on Thursday, the 2nd of February, also at 9am local time. You can sign up for the pre-sale here.
