Codeine in Italy for 4 shows in 2027

22-10-2026

Codeine will return to Italy in 2027 with four shows scheduled between late May and the first days of June. The legendary US outfit, among the key names in slowcore, have announced a new European tour marking the band's return to the stage four years after their last appearances on the continent.

Formed in New York in 1989, Codeine helped define a musical aesthetic built on slowed-down rhythms, melancholic atmospheres, spare guitars and buried emotional tension, becoming a touchstone for countless indie-rock and alternative bands in the years that followed. Albums like “Frigid Stars” (1990) and “The White Birch” (1994) are now regarded as cornerstones of slowcore, a genre the band helped shape alongside acts like Low and Red House Painters.
The new tour will give Italian audiences four chances to experience the American band's repertoire live, more than thirty years after the release of their most iconic records.

Here's the schedule for the Italian dates:

May 30, 2027 – Turin, Jazz Is Dead Festival
June 1, 2027 – Bologna, Locomotiv Club
June 2, 2027 – Macerata, Circolo Dong
June 3, 2027 – Rome, Largo Venue

Tickets will be available starting Friday, October 23, 2026 via the official tour website.
