Playground Circus Rocks the Music Scene with Their Explosive Take on "Walking on Sunshine" - out now!
Playground Circus, the high-energy London-based band known for their captivating pop punk and skate punk sound, is gearing up to release their highly anticipated rendition of the iconic hit song "Walking on Sunshine."

The release is scheduled for June 16, 2023, and is set to rock music lovers around the world.
Since their formation in Greece in February 2014, Playground Circus has been making waves in the music industry. With their debut EP titled "The King Is Born," the band caught the attention of the influential LA music scene. Their exceptional talent landed them a prestigious four-week residency at the legendary Whisky A Go Go in March 2015. Following their extraordinary run at the Whisky A Go Go, the band made the bold decision to permanently relocate to London, UK, where they unleashed their first full-length album, "King For A Day." Since then, Playground Circus has been rocking stages across the country, constantly releasing fresh, exhilarating music to captivate their growing fan base.
Playground Circus has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Marky Ramone, Michale Graves, House Of Pain, Everlast, Bad Cop, Authority Zero, Barb Wire Dolls, Spoilers, and The ZipHeads. Drawing inspiration from influential bands like A New Found Glory, A Day To Remember, Sum 41, NOFX, Green Day, Bowling For Soup, Lit, Zebrahead, Goldfinger, Blink 182, Good Charlotte, Angels And Airwaves, Papa Roach, and Billy Talent, Playground Circus aims to solidify their place alongside these esteemed names in the industry.
