SLIFT, a towering space-rock powerhouse and a relentless live juggernaut, announces a 2026 world tour, including one stop at AB. The French trio will be performing material from their upcoming album Fantasia, expected in June 2026 via Sub Pop.
Every previous album by the radiant and heavy French trio—brothers Jean and Rémi Fossat and drummer Canek Flores, a friend since high school - has been a fantasia—a composite of genres and forms that allowed the band to improvise, to jam on themes until they seemed to spiral together into space.
But, in a bit of intentional irony, SLIFT’s fourth album is called Fantasia without actually being one. It is, instead, their leanest and most direct record, a pointed saga about overcoming international upheaval delivered by a band bearing down without wasting a second. SLIFT didn’t want to lose the message by playing too much. They’re preparing for a battle they think we can still win.
