Bright indie production, punchy pop guitars and hook-laden heartfelt lyrics carve a sound unique to Huddersfield based LONG ISLAND. With packed-out headline shows in the north, a headline tour, and slots at festivals including 2025's Tramlines, Truck and Y Not, LONG ISLAND are paving their way into the strong indie scene of the north.
Inspired by the likes of Sea Girls, Corella and The 1975, a melting-pot of their wide-ranging influences forges their distinctive sound. Elevated from headline shows to festivals, their unrelenting live sets will be sure to get you dancing and screaming along to every word.
