Sunflower Bean Set to Headliner LA's Lodge Room on June 6th
Indie rock darlings Sunflower Bean are back — and they're bringing their rejuvenated, razor-sharp sound to Los Angeles next month. Fresh off the release of their critically acclaimed new album, Mortal Primetime, the New York trio will take the stage at the Lodge Room on June 6 for a night that promises to be equal parts catharsis and celebration.
For longtime fans, Sunflower Bean's return feels like a hard-earned victory lap. In the three years since their last record, the band members — Julia Cumming, Nick Kivlen, and Olive Faber — faced personal upheavals, creative detours, and the kind of introspective reckonings that threaten to unravel even the most tight-knit groups. But rather than crumbling, Sunflower Bean emerged from the other side with Mortal Primetime, a bold, self-produced statement that’s being hailed as the most vulnerable and vital release of their career.
The band’s live reputation precedes them. Known for blistering performances that feel as intimate as they are explosive, Sunflower Bean have spent the last decade gracing stages at Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Governors Ball, while also earning spots alongside heavyweights like The Strokes, Beck, DIIV, Interpol, Wolf Alice, Cage the Elephant, and The Pixies. They even turned up at rallies for Bernie Sanders, channeling their kinetic energy into political moments.
Now, Sunflower Bean brings that seasoned stagecraft to one of LA’s most atmospheric rooms. The Lodge Room, with its vintage ballroom-meets-modern-indie ethos, is the perfect setting for the band’s latest era — one marked by searing honesty, sharp songwriting, and the kind of sonic alchemy that can only come from years of shared history.
If Mortal Primetime is a document of survival and rebirth, then this tour is its live, beating heart. Expect to hear standouts from the new album alongside fan favorites from Twentytwo in Blue and Human Ceremony, all delivered with the passion and precision that have made Sunflower Bean one of indie rock’s most beloved live acts.
This show isn’t just a tour stop — it’s a testament to resilience, friendship, and the kind of rock-and-roll spirit that refuses to fade. Sunflower Bean play the Lodge Room in Los Angeles, CA on June 6, 2025. Tickets are on sale now — and if history is any indicator, they won’t last long.
