The closing day is set to be a true gathering of British rock legends. Sharing the bill with The Cure, the veterans of Slowdive will remind us why they remain key figures in shoegaze – a movement that their music played a major part in popularising both at home and abroad, both at the time and long afterwards. In addition to their three seminal albums, *Just for a Day* (1991), *Souvlaki* (1993) and *Pygmalion* (1995)—characterised by distorted guitars, ethereal vocals and an exquisite melancholy— the Reading-based band has enjoyed a spectacular resurgence since their reunion in 2014, with a string of concerts (including an appearance at Rock en Seine in 2017) and two excellent albums that bear witness to their enduring inspiration. Few bands manage such a comeback!
