Sunrise Avenue released their debut album "On the Way to Wonderland" in 2006 and became one of the most internationally successful Finnish rock bands. The band can look back on five studio albums as well as a "Best of" album and sold over 2.5 million records worldwide. With their last album "Heartbreak Century" the band directly entered the German charts at number 1 and got gold status.

“It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that we have decided to end our journey together as a band. I understand why it may be difficult to understand why we are ending something so special. But behind all the success are a lot of things that can’t be seen. There are many different people, all with their own needs and desires. There are millions of dotted lines along the highways, lonely hotel rooms and homes far away that we miss. There is also the feeling that we have achieved everything that was possible. Now it’s time to take a deep breath and live for the next dream. We just have to dare to follow our hearts. And that’s what we are now doing after much consideration”, comments Samu Haber, lead singer, guitarist and founder of Sunrise Avenue.
