Jordan Miller, the lead singer of the Canadian rock band The Beaches, removed her dress during a performance at the Hurricane indie rock festival in Germany as an extreme heat wave continued across Europe. She stayed onstage in a white bra and underwear while the crowd cheered, and the dress was reportedly thrown to fans.
The band captioned a carousel post with before-and-after photos from the festival, writing, “Hurricane Festival, before and after. Thank you for hosting us, you are so hot.” The images showed the band in full outfits before the show and drenched in sweat afterward, with Miller without her dress and another band member in a bra and jeans.
Some social media followers criticized the move, saying Miller did it because “the music is not interesting enough,” but the band’s own video and post suggested they were unconcerned by the reaction. The article also jokes that the only unanswered question was how she got back to the hotel.
The Beaches was formed in Toronto in 2013 after an earlier version of the group called Done with Dolls. The current lineup includes Jordan Miller, Kylie Miller, Eliza Enman-McDaniel and Leandra Earl. The band broke through with “T-Shirt” in 2017, won a Juno Award for breakthrough of the year in 2018, and later became better known outside Canada with “Blame Brett” in 2023. In recent weeks, “Edge of the Earth” surged by nearly 1,000% in streams after being used in Amazon Prime’s “Out of Campus.”
