The 502s

The 502s, often celebrated as “The happiest band on Earth,” bring a lively brand of beach folk from Florida to UK audiences, blending breezy banjos, effervescent choruses, and infectious energy. Their unique sound—described as sunshine you can dance to—resonates in every performance and recording, making them a standout in the live music scene. With a discography that includes the vibrant self-titled album released in April 2024 and the much-anticipated album Easy Street scheduled for a September 2025 release, The 502s continue to capture listeners with their upbeat style and singalong hooks.

On stage, The 502s have made a remarkable impact as headliners, recently playing major venues across the United Kingdom such as O2 Forum Kentish Town in London, O2 Ritz Manchester, Bristol Electric, and Leeds Beckett Students Union. Their EASY STREET Tour has brought their energetic concerts to fans in Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, and London, reaffirming their growing presence in the UK’s live gig calendar. These headline shows have featured support from artists such as Jamie McIntyre and Henrik, further enhancing the experience for concert-goers.

Looking ahead to August 2026, The 502s are set to join The Shires and Steve Earle at The Longroad Festival of Country, Americana & Roots at Stanford Hall, broadening their reach within the UK festival circuit.
