Brooklyn-based rock band DIIV bring a wall of hazy guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and dreamlike melodies to the stage, blurring the lines between shoegaze, indie rock, and psychedelic alternative. Known for immersive live performances that balance atmospheric soundscapes with explosive guitar-driven intensity, DIIV create the kind of show you feel as much as you hear.
Led by Zachary Cole Smith alongside Andrew Bailey, Colin Caulfield, and Ben Newman, DIIV broke through with their acclaimed debut album Oshin before evolving their sound across Is the Is Are, Deceiver, and 2024’s Frog in Boiling Water. Their music pairs shimmering guitar textures and hypnotic grooves with introspective songwriting and darker reflections on modern life.
The band enters a new chapter with ZIRP!, their upcoming album produced by A. G. Cook, arriving October 30, 2026. Lead single “The Fountain” offers a glimpse into DIIV’s latest evolution, pushing their signature sound into new territory while retaining the immersive atmosphere that has made them a defining name in modern shoegaze.
Fans of shoegaze, dream pop, and atmospheric indie rock will want to experience DIIV live.
