Sunbird is 10 feat Pinstripe., Sons of Mothers, F3INT, So Called Friends, I Create Deathrays, Naut, Demented Disco - Saturday 2nd May 2026 | Sunbird Records, Darwen

Sunbird is 10: Against the Odds and Louder Than Ever.

From June 26th, 2016, to right now! it’s been one hell of a decade. Against every hurdle thrown at grassroots venues, Sunbird Records is still here. This isn’t just an anniversary; it’s a victory lap for live music in the Northwest.

To celebrate 10 years of keeping the lights on and the amps cranked, we’re throwing a massive full weekend takeover this May Bank Holiday!

We’ve curated a lineup that tells our story, featuring acts who have played over that period, some have played since the beginning, some features members from acts that played the early days, but most importantly one way or another they are all part of the Sunbird family and part of its 10 year story.

The celebration starts on continues on Saturday 2nd May with the following line up;

• Pinstripe.
  
• Sons of Mothers
• F3INT
• So Called Friends
• Naut
• I Creat Deathrays

Plus keeping the party going into the early hours

• Demented Disco

Grassroots venues are the heartbeat of the scene, and 10 years is a milestone worth shouting about. Come down and share your stories, reminisce about the legendary gigs, and help us toast to the next decade.

Come down and share your stories, reminisce about past gigs and nights here, tell us what you’re looking forward to next, who you would like to see play here, come and celebrate 10 years of loud nights, making friends and good times but most importantly celebrate 10 years of Sunbird Records still being here.
