Beach Vacation are an indie pop band from Seattle, formed in 2012 by Tabor Rupp and Justyn Newman after a performance at their high school talent show. Their debut EP was released in the United Kingdom, Japan and the United States at the same time, while both members were still teenagers.

Their music draws on the hazy, melodic indie pop of Wild Nothing, Beach Fossils, The Radio Dept. and the wider Swedish indie pop scene, with warm, personal guitar lines and vocals set low in the mix. Their most recent album, Coping Habits, was mixed and mastered by Erik Thormshein, who also produced Boy Pablo, and includes the single Blurred Out, which features Cathedral Bells.

Room 2 Glasgow mainly hosts concerts and has a programme focused on electronic music. The bill also includes Swiss Portrait.
