Written by With their forthcoming fourth album, Fantasia, set for release on June 5 via Sub Pop, highly-rated French psychedelic rockers Slift have announced plans to tour the US, Europe and UK later this year.
Revealing their 2026 tour itinerary on social media, the Toulouse trio – vocalist/guitarist Jean Fossat, his bassist/co-vocalist brother Remí, and drummer Canek Flores – say: “Oï! As reality collapses, we’ll be touring the US and Europa next fall! We’re beyond thrilled about this trip and can’t wait to see you all. Old and new friends, old and new cities.
“As the mirror reveals, tickets will be on sale Friday 24th, 10 AM local time. For now, this future tour is a dream, a glow shinning from the other side. One love for the world.”

In a statement about the band’s upcoming record, Sub Pop say, “It is dreadfully easy these days to feel powerless. We have instant access to a world of news, and so much of it is so very heavy. Slift reckons directly with the modern onslaught of cruelty and absurdity on Fantasia, whether that’s not caring about our home planet or one another.
“But these eight songs are about trusting in some hidden power for fighting back, for believing in a world where something we cannot yet articulate or define offers not just a way to disrupt the status quo but perhaps to destroy it completely. Slift is loud, heavy, and aggressive inside these anthems. They’re preparing for a battle they think we can still win.”
