Neo-Psychedelia

Neo-Psychedelia: 80 upcoming festivals, including 25 with tickets on sale.

Neo-psychedelia is a genre that emulates the production and compositional approaches of 1960s psychedelia, often featuring swirling guitars, vintage keyboards, and a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere, sometimes applying its ethos to new musical styles. It emerged in the late 1970s as an outgrowth of the British post-punk scene, drawing heavily from the experimental spirit and sonic textures of its psychedelic rock predecessors. Iconic artists include Echo & the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, and The Stone Roses. This revival of psychedelic sounds also significantly influenced the development of dream pop and shoegaze.
