ABOUT

Sun Mahshene are an Irish post-shoegaze band known for their expansive sound, blending layers of swirling guitars, ethereal synths, and driving rhythms. Since forming the band has carved out a distinctive presence in the shoegaze and alternative rock scene, delivering a sound that is both cinematic and intense.

Drawing inspiration from classic shoegaze, as well as the energy of psych and alternative rock, Sun Mahshene craft music that balances melody and a full-on sonic assault. Sun Mahshene's live act has been described as "unmissable" (IMRO). Creating wall of sound with their unique three-guitar approach, their anthemic songs are memorable and laden with hooks.

The band's debut full-length album, A Place We’ve Never Been (2024), further refined their signature sound, featuring standout tracks like Pale Azure, Reverie, and Turning Tide. With its lush production, ambient textures, and emotionally charged songwriting, the album showcased the band's ability to merge introspection with sonic grandeur.

Sun Mahshene’s lineup features Nathan Henderson (vocals, guitar), Robert Crosbie (guitar, vocals), Ian McGinn (guitar), David Hilliard (bass), and Dave Murray (drums). Their dynamic live performances have earned them a growing following, leading to support slots with major acts—including The Brian Jonestown Massacre in Belfast’s Ulster Hall and Dublin’s 3Olympia.

As they continue to push the boundaries of shoegaze and psychedelic rock, Sun Mahshene remains a band on the rise, creating music that is both immersive and electrifying.

Past Events

Vantastival is a gloriously independent, award-winning festival which takes place at Beaulieu House on the sloping banks of the river Boyne. Music fans and campervanners flock to this unique family-friendly event for its fantastically diverse line up, super-friendly vibes, and quirky extras. Other attractions include gourmet food stalls, festival traders, scheduled kids’ activities, arts, crafts and many other fun and novel additions, ensuring that Vantastival has something for everyone, with or without a campervan!

Campervans are welcome to park on site (right next to the arena) at no extra charge, but you don’t have to have a campervan to enjoy all that’s on offer and there is a dedicated tent campsite for those without vans! Our ‘Bring Your Own Booze’ policy also means that Vantastival is one of the most affordable festivals in Ireland.
