DIIV Joins SilverVox Film + Music Festival's Exciting Lineup
DIIV to Perform at SilverVox Film + Music Festival
The anticipation for the inaugural SilverVox Film + Music Festival is building as organizers announce that DIIV, the acclaimed alternative-shoegaze band from Brooklyn, is confirmed to take the stage. Founded by Zachary Cole Smith in 2011, DIIV has grown from a solitary endeavor into one of the most celebrated indie acts of the past decade. Their unique sound, dreamy aesthetics, and energetic performances capture the essence of modern rock music, drawing inspiration from shoegaze and indie rock.
What to Expect
DIIV will perform at The Weinberg Center in Frederick, Maryland, on June 20, 2026, diving deep into their layered sound that has resonated with fans worldwide. Furthermore, festival-goers will have a rare opportunity to experience the band's film, Boiled Alive, on June 19, adding an exciting visual component to the auditory feast.
This performance is particularly special, as it follows a successful tour where DIIV supported the renowned band Depeche Mode during their Memento Mori world tour. With their new album, Frog in Boiling Water, released in 2024, DIIV continues to push the boundaries of their music, infusing deeper themes and more complex compositions into their works.
