Road Trip Band was a popular British boy band that gained immense popularity during the late 2010s. The group consisted of five members- Rye Beaumont, Andy Fowler, Brooklyn Wyatt, Sonny Robertson, and Jack Duff. Formed in 2015, the group rose to fame after participating in the fourteenth series of The X Factor UK.

Early Years

Road Trip Band was formed in 2015 after Rye Beaumont and Andy Fowler met each other on social media. They were later joined by Brooklyn Wyatt, Sonny Robertson, and Jack Duff to form the band. Initially, they started making covers of popular songs and putting them up on YouTube.

The X Factor UK

In 2016, Road Trip Band auditioned for The X Factor UK’s fourteenth series. Their performance of Shawn Mendes’s “Stitches” impressed all four judges- Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh, and Nicole Scherzinger. They made it to the boot camp stage but were eliminated after failing to impress the judges with their performance of Charlie Puth’s “One Call Away.”

However, Road Trip Band’s popularity soared after their appearance on The X Factor UK. They started touring across the UK and Europe and releasing their own music.
