SOAK : Joel Sunny

Globally acclaimed Pop violinist Joel Sunny brings his otherworldly sound to Newcastle for one night only. Joel is a global phenomenon who creates music that feels like stepping into another realm entirely — his violin weaving melodies that dance between the earthly and ethereal.  

With over 2 million Tik Tok followers, fans of ACOTAR or 'Booktok' might know Joel from his viral hit Luminary. Performing for one night only as part of his world tour, Joel's performance promises to be pure magic — this is the performance you'll tell your friends about.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Joel Sunny, hailing from Sydney via Manchester, UK, has been setting the internet alight with his strikingly unique compositions and meticulously crafted visuals, building a vast audience for himself and amassing over 4 million followers across social media in only a couple of years.  His breakout track, “Luminary”, quickly garnered millions of streams, climbing global charts and becoming the soundtrack to the lives of fans worldwide.

Although Joel’s music takes instrumental form, he uses the violin to construct melodies akin to vocal lines, writing with a distinctly pop sensibility, full of decadent drama and influenced by the likes of Lana Del Rey, 2010s Pop and 60s and 70s soundtracks.

His 2025 Star-bound Lovers debut tour sold out 14 shows globally in Berlin, Paris, London, Istanbul, Toronto, Los Angeles and New York. Described by fans as “phenomenal”, Joel and his band create an immersive experience, expanding his already cinematic music with even more depth and emotion.
