Alternative quartet Daytime TV have released a new anthem for the summer of 2026 as they announce a UK tour.

‘Sun’ , out now on Marshall Records, opens with a guitar signature and an undeniable vocal hook before a heavy, dancefloor-filling groove kicks in.

The band have announced intimate tour dates across the UK, following an exclusive, packed-out show earlier this year at The Old Blue Last. The band will play Hull, Coventry, Newport, Milton Keynes, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Sheffield and Edinburgh in October.

On 3rd June, Daytime TV will play the BME stage at SXSW in London at 7pm, while on 10th June they will play a special party at Blondies Brewery in London to celebrate 10 years of Marshall Records, along with Cancer Bats, Big Truck and Ashaine White.

‘SUN’ comes with a video featuring the dancing, costumed figure of the Sun, careering across the land.

Singer Will Irvine said: “As soon as the song ‘Sun’ came together, we knew it was a summer banger. It’s about going to your happy place in your head, blocking out the chaos and stripping things back to the primal basics of just being an animal on a planet.

“The song feels like summer and that’s exactly what we wanted it to be. It’s a happy place to go to in your mind. I wrote that big chorus years ago, and it got parked but just kept finding myself singing it. Then, when we got back together to write it just came together really quickly.

“It shows a side of us that’s a bit more relaxed and dancey than dark and serious.”

The track comes with a new music video from Sam McGill, which sees The Sun , in the form of a costumed figure, themself seizing the day and dancing across the deserted landscape. Bar open from 6pm every event for pre-gig bevs SLICE GUYS PIZZA open every event from 6pm
