DIIV, an American indie rock band formed in New York in 2011, brings its music to QMU in Glasgow. The concert centres on the band's recent work, including its fifth album, ZIRP!.

DIIV is an American indie rock band formed in New York in 2011. Its debut album, Oshin (2012), was released on the label Captured Tracks. The band's members named in its current material are Zachary Cole Smith, Andrew Bailey, Colin Caulfield and Ben Newman.

The band's fifth album, ZIRP!, follows Frog In Boiling Water (2024) and Deceiver (2019). Their recent records draw on the harshness of shoegaze, which shapes Frog In Boiling Water, and of grunge, which shapes Deceiver, and combine both with melodic pop. The material for ZIRP! presents this blend under the name The New Alternative and asks what it means to grow up and to glow up.

The concert takes place at QMU, a Glasgow venue that hosts concerts and shows. It suits listeners interested in indie rock that carries a strong pop melody.
