Sea Girls

Sea Girls are one of the most successful British indie bands of the last decade, known for their emotional lyrics, bold guitar sound and huge sing-along choruses. Originally formed in the UK and now based in London, the band have built a loyal fanbase through strong songwriting, constant touring and a run of high-impact releases.

The band first gained national attention with early singles Call Me Out and All I Want To Hear You Say, which quickly became fan favourites and helped establish their place in modern British indie music. This early momentum led to major recognition across the industry, including a BBC Sound Of nomination, and set the tone for a rapid rise.

Sea Girls’ debut album Open Up Your Head and its follow-up Homesick both made a major impact on the UK charts, with each release reaching the Top Three. Across streaming platforms, their music has now passed hundreds of millions of plays, reflecting their wide reach and lasting appeal. Their songs often focus on youth, pressure, freedom and emotional honesty, themes that have helped them connect with audiences across the UK and beyond.

Live performance has always been central to Sea Girls’ success. They have played standout sets at festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, and have shared stages with major acts including Arctic Monkeys and Foals. Their growing profile was further boosted when Midnight Butterflies featured on the final episode of Gavin & Stacey, introducing their music to an even wider audience.

Their latest material marks a confident step forward. Written after years of touring and personal growth, the songs reflect a clearer outlook and a renewed focus on living in the present. While the band’s core sound remains intact, recent releases show stronger hooks, fuller production and a more direct emotional tone. The result is music that feels both honest and uplifting, without losing the edge that made them stand out in the first place.

Now operating under their own label, Alt. Records, Sea Girls have taken full control of their creative direction. This independence has allowed them to write and release music on their own terms, shaping a sound that feels bold, current and true to who they are today.

Sea Girls’ appearance at DonnyFest brings one of modern indie’s most in-demand live acts to Doncaster. With a set packed full of well-known tracks and new favourites, their performance promises big energy, loud guitars and a crowd fully locked in from start to finish.
