Celebrate the start of UW Homecoming with a kickoff concert featuring Alvvays and Slow Pulp!
Alvvays’s first two albums topped the United States college music charts. The band is set to release a new album more than five years in the making, titled “Blue Rev,” on Oct. 7.
Opening act Slow Pulp blends psychedelic rock and pop to create music that has generated a national fan base. The band will tour with Death Cab for Cutie in March 2023.
Slow Pulp’s performance will occur from 7-7:45 p.m., and Alvvays will perform from 8-9 p.m. This event has moved indoors to Shannon Hall at Memorial Union due to expected inclement weather. UW‒Madison students have priority seating in Shannon Hall from 6:30-6:45 p.m. at which time all will be admitted to the event, with seating available on a first come, first served basis.
The concert is presented thanks, in part, due to financial support from the Wisconsin Union and the Wisconsin Union Association.
