Since the 2023 success of The Beaches’ ‘Blame Brett’ and their ‘Blame My Ex’ album, the band has spent the year reaching remarkable new heights in their career.

Plus, they sold out their first-ever Australian tour. In February 2024, they made their television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. They opened for incredible acts like the Rolling Stones, Girl In Red, Fletcher, and Greta Van Fleet. The Beaches also captivated audiences at festivals including Calgary Stampede, Rifflandia, Bottlerock in Napa Valley, Bonnaroo in Nashville, Reading & Leeds, Austin City Limits, Oceans Calling in Maryland, Rock Werchter in Belgium, Down The Rabbit Hole in the Netherlands, and Roskilde in Denmark.
