Polaris Hall hosts the penultimate date of New Dad’s North American run on 17 May 2026, with Freak Slug continuing on support. By this point in the tour the pairing feels sharply defined: Freak Slug leans into lo-fi indie pop and British indie rock, revisiting tracks like “Blue Eyes”, “Drive” and “Disorder” with a focus on confessional vocals and woozy guitars. New Dad expand on that mood with denser shoegaze textures and slow-blooming melodies. The mid-sized room suits both approaches, allowing quiet passages to land while giving the more saturated guitar sections room to swell without losing clarity.
