Underdogs but not for long. Unbelievably catchy songs and a live show impossible not to sing along/dance to that'll take them far” - Gigslutz

who are sunbeam?

Whitby’s finest, Sunbeam, are setting the northern music scene ablaze with their anthemic sound and unstoppable momentum. Bursting out of the coastal town with a blend of soaring hooks and raw emotion, the band is no stranger to the spotlight. Their breakout track, Everytime You Call, stormed to #2 on the iTunes Alternative Chart, announcing them as one of the most exciting acts coming up.

With regular spins on Radio X’s X-Posure, championed by tastemaker John Kennedy, Sunbeam have captured the ears of indie diehards across the nation. Their live game is just as sharp: in December 2024, they sold out their first headline show to a 1,000-strong crowd, proving they’ve got the chops to match their hype.

The band has already hit some of the UK’s biggest festival stages, with standout performances at YNOT Festival and the iconic Isle of Wight Festival, leaving audiences buzzing. Add to that sharing stages with legends like the Kaiser Chiefs and rising stars like The K’s, and it’s clear Sunbeam are no strangers to big moments.

And this is just the beginning. With big announcements on the horizon for 2025, Sunbeam are primed to take their career to the next level. Catch them now, before they’re filling arenas.
