Sun Room took over the Troubadour with back-to-back sold-out shows on February 14th and 15th, cementing their place among the many legendary acts that have graced the venue’s stage. The Troubadour has long been a launchpad for some of the biggest names in music, from Elton John and The Eagles to The Strokes, Billie Eilish, and Harry Styles—and Sun Room proved that they belong in that conversation.
Even after extensive touring, the band effortlessly packed the room once again. Both nights the 500-capacity venue was crammed wall-to-wall, bodies pressed together in the sweltering heat. Mosh pits erupted in the center of the crowd, and some fans took to crowd surfing, riding the waves of adrenaline that surged through the venue from the first note to the last.
The band’s setlist was a thrilling mix of old favorites and fresh material. By the end of their set, the crowd was begging for more—I even heard a fan yell, “Start over!”, not ready for the night to end. Honestly, I couldn’t agree more. Ive seen this band so many times, and I could never get tired of hearing them. It didn’t seem like the band had an encore planned through, but after the overwhelming demand from the fans, they came back out and played Red Dress again.
They also played a few songs I didn’t recognize—aka new, unreleased tracks—like Fade Into You, City Life, and On Fire, which had the crowd buzzing. Of course, they didn’t forget their staples like Just Yesterday, Sol Del Sur, and Summer’s Here.
But for me, the highlight was hearing Sunset Garage live—one of my all-time favorites for sure. I can still hear Luke and the crowds voices echoing the hook in my head. If you haven’t head it yet, you’ll know exactly what I mean once you do—it’s the kind of song that gets stuck in your head forever.
And then there was Ashton—absolutely ripping it up on the guitar, commanding the stage with an effortless cool that had the crowd going wild. Luke, never one to miss an opportunity for a joke, poked fun at Max’s resemblance to Benson Boone, mentioning his recent Grammy performance and asked if everyone saw “Max” on stage that night.

Even before the show started, at least 25 to 45 fans had already made their way inside for the VIP experience, staking out their spots right at the front of the stage, lanyards proudly hanging around their necks. It was no surprise though, it is LA, after all.
One thing I really admire about Sun Room is how they always make space for other bands to shine. Each night featured a different opener, making the experience even more dynamic. Since I was only able to attend the second show, I got to see Nite Fire, a local LA surf-rock band with a sound similar to Sun Room.
They brought wild energy to the stage, even quizzing the crowd on their name throughout their set—a bold move that everyone played along with, adding to the playful atmosphere of the night.
The two back to back nights at The Troubadour were nothing short of unforgettable, definitely a show that will be marked in their books. From the high-energy crowd to the sweat-drenched chaos of mosh pits and crowd surfers, every moment felt electric. Their setlist balanced old favorites with exciting new tracks, leaving fans buzzing about what’s to come.
It’s clear that no matter how many times they play, Sun Room always delivers—bringing the same passion, energy, and connection that keeps fans coming back for more. Whether it’s at a legendary venue like this or somewhere even bigger down the line, one thing’s for sure: they’re only going up from here.
