DIIV, the Brooklyn-based indie rock band formed in 2011, returns to Shanghai after nearly a decade. Known for their dreamy guitars and ethereal vocals, their performance will feature songs from their latest album Frog In Boiling Water. Fans can expect a powerful live show as the band continues to evolve from their earlier sound.

DIIV, an indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2011, will be performing at Shanghai's ModernSky Lab on July 4, 2026. After almost nine years since their last appearance in China, DIIV returns with their latest music, including tracks from their fourth album, Frog In Boiling Water. This marks the band's return after a period of introspection and change, following the release of Deceiver in 2019.

DIIV is led by Zachary Cole Smith, who started the band as a solo project before it became a full band. Over the years, the band's lineup has evolved, with key members including guitarist Andrew Bailey, bassist Devin Ruben Perez, and drummer Colby Hewitt. The band’s most recent work, Frog In Boiling Water, is a significant creative evolution for DIIV.


This concert marks a rare return to Shanghai for DIIV, a chance for fans to hear them perform live after their long hiatus. Fans of indie rock and DIIV’s signature sound can expect an unforgettable night of music and nostalgia as they reunite with the band for this long-awaited performance.
