BMG June 2026
60 years of "Sunny Afternoon"

A classic song, timed to the moment.

Marking 60 years of The Kinks' "Sunny Afternoon" with notifications timed to two moments across London, Manchester and Bristol — sunshine, and England's World Cup matches. In partnership with BMG.

The idea

A 1966 hit, brought back by the moment.

"Sunny Afternoon" turned 60 in 2026. Rather than mark the anniversary on a fixed date, the campaign waited for moments that suited the song and pointed people to it when they arrived.

The two moments
Sunshine

When the sun was over the city

Notifications went out on sunny hours in London, Manchester and Bristol, linking straight through to the song.

Matchday

When England played

Matchday messaging ran alongside it, tied to England's World Cup fixtures rather than to the weather.

The two ran as separate triggers: a notification did not require both a sunny hour and a match.
