almost monday on tour in July

German concerts in Frankfurt and Hamburg

Since the era of the Beach Boys at the latest, southern California has been a reliable source of feel-good sounds, surf vibes set to music and relaxed sunshine pop with surprising indie influences. Since the beginning of the decade, almost monday from San Diego have been carrying on this carefree tradition casually and without blinkers - and

have now amassed over 400 million combined streams for sun-soaked indie anthems such as "sunburn", "sun keeps shining", "cough drops" and more. After operating at the interface between indie and pop as well as surf rock and funk

and funk, the trio released their acclaimed debut album "DIVE" just last year, the musicians will be bringing its essence to Germany in July 2025 - when they come to Frankfurt and Hamburg for two shows.

Dawson Daugherty (vocals), Cole Clisby (guitar) and Luke Fabry (bass) have been working together since 2020. The first garage sessions were followed by the debut EP "don't say you're ordinary" in the fall of the year, whose key tracks "parking lot view" and "broken people" immediately brought them stream numbers in the double-digit millions. They received initial support from producers Mark Needham (The Killers, Fleetwood Mac) and Simon Oscroft (The Naked and Famous, DREAMERS), who immediately recognized the trio's pop potential. The following year, they played at the first major US festivals and not only landed several alternative radio hits in 2022, but also delivered the official song for the US Open in surfing with "sun keeps shining". Drenched in sunshine through and through, Dawson, Cole and Luke have a slightly higher nostalgia factor, so that "sunburn" shines as smoothly as the streaming hit of the same name (36m streams).

Although it was clear from their second EP "til the end of time" at the latest that almost monday are outrageously good at transforming the proverbial sunshine vibes of

Southern California into laid-back anthems, the debut album "DIVE", released in 2024

debut album "DIVE" should bring them even bigger shows (e.g. Madison Square Garden)

and streaming successes (including for "life goes by", "can't slow down"). Having toured non-stop since then with fellow acts such as AJR, Weathers, Beach Weather and The Driver Era, they also came to Europe with the latter in fall 2024 - and have now announced their first headlining dates in Germany.

After the singer released the debut album, for which almost monday recently presented an

album, for which almost monday recently released an extended deluxe edition, as a snapshot of us - both individually and as a group", spontaneous recordings also play a central role at their energetic shows: "We take Polaroid pictures of the audience at every concert," says Daugherty, who will probably also be pulling out his camera in Frankfurt and Hamburg. "The album should also feel like a Polaroid: It might be a bit blurry - but it's a snapshot that captures who we are and what we're into."
