THE MAKING OF ROCK'S NEWEST ICONS
THE BEACHES
2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Canadian rock icons The Beaches. Fresh off their explosive Coachella debut in April, the band has just announced their North American headline tour, with Canadian acts Valley and TALK joining as special guests on select dates.
The Beaches' meteoric rise began with the breakout success of their single Blame Brett. Just six months after the music video dropped, the band sold out two back-to-back nights at Toronto's legendary Massey Hall. In the first half of 2024 alone, they played more than 70 shows across North America, Europe, and Australia, solidifying their status as one of rock's most exciting live acts.
Now, they're back with a brand-new album, No Hard Feelings, set for release on August 29. The lead single, Last Girls at the Party, is already generating major buzz and proving that The Beaches know how to keep the momentum going.

Cosmopolitan ranked The Beaches' Coachella set as the second-best performance of the festival this year - placing them just behind Charli XCX and ahead of Megan Thee Stallion.
"Their energy bounced off each other seamlessly, and when it came time to bring special guest G Flip out for a duet of their latest single, "Last Girls at the Party," the band proved they can hang in the big leagues." - Cosmopolitan
