Daisy Grenade began in New York in 2021 when Dani Nigro and Keaton Whittaker turned a new friendship and their shared musical-theater background into an alt-pop band, using character, storytelling and audience connection to make each performance feel like its own world. Their music places sharp humor and bright pop-punk hooks alongside honest conversations about girlhood, difficult relationships, mental health and the patterns people struggle to leave behind, giving listeners permission to be angry, vulnerable and playful at the same time. Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz became an early supporter, helping shape the duo’s first two EPs through DCD2 Records before Daisy Grenade joined Fall Out Boy on tour in 2023 and 2024 and opened for Pierce the Veil at Madison Square Garden in 2025. That foundation translated into clear demand in 2026, when every date of their first U.S. headline tour sold out, including shows at New York’s Bowery Ballroom and Los Angeles’ Roxy Theatre.
Their five-song 2026 EP So Much To Say, recorded partly live to tape in a Lower East Side church attic, explores cycles of relapse across relationships, self-image and mental health, while “Girls Are So Lucky” finds humor and meaning in the less glamorous realities of touring through vans, public bathrooms and borrowed floors. With Riot Fest, Vans Warped Tour Orlando and a 16-date North American headline tour still ahead through December 2026, Daisy Grenade give Marriott Bonvoy a timely story about how having a welcoming place to land can create the space people need to reset, speak honestly and feel connected while discovering somewhere new.
