SUMMARY:Slide Away Music Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:SLIDE AWAY music festival is coming to Brooklyn Paramount on May 15-16! \nThe festival that celebrates itself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA genre that lends itself to loudness can still be overheard from its origins in the 1980s. Shoegaze\, Dream Pop\, Ambient\, or whatever you may call it\, has carried itself gracefully through decades while inspiring countless subgenres and infecting all walks of music along the way. \nThe audience reflects back the legacy and continued impact with a feeling of mutual admiration and respect is palpable across generations and identities – no matter the coast. \nSLIDE AWAY is a celebration of the genre and all artists who shape sound in the most unique of ways\, all the while bridging the gap between the diverse cast of boundary pushing mavericks of yesterday with the genre bending savants of now.
