FLORENCE ROAD MAKE IRISH RADIO HISTORY AS ‘HANGING OUT TO DRY’ HITS #1 ON THE IRISH AIRPLAY CHART
THE FIRST ALL-FEMALE IRISH BAND TO SCORE IRELAND’S MOST-PLAYED TRACK — AND ONLY THE SECOND IRISH FEMALE ACT TO REACH #1 SINCE RADIOMONITOR RECORDS BEGAN IN 2012
THE BREAKOUT IRISH BAND NOW SET THEIR SIGHTS ON ELECTRIC PICNIC
[Friday 3rd July, Dublin] – Florence Road have officially made Irish radio history, with their breakout single ‘Hanging Out To Dry’ reaching #1 on the Irish Airplay Chart and becoming the most-played track on Irish radio.
The landmark achievement makes Florence Road the first all-female Irish band to top the Irish Airplay Chart since Radiomonitor records began in 2012. They are also only the second Irish female act to reach #1 during that period.
It marks another extraordinary milestone in what is fast becoming a defining year for the Wicklow four-piece and further cements Florence Road as one of the most exciting new bands to emerge from Ireland in recent years.
Now, all roads lead to Electric Picnic. Following a whirlwind summer of major international festivals and stadium support slots, Florence Road will return home to play Electric Picnic on Sunday, 30th August.
If there is one Irish band to catch at Electric Picnic this year, it’s Florence Road.
The band’s live rise has been impossible to ignore. In May, Florence Road played their biggest Irish headline show to date at a completely sold-out 3Olympia, captured in the official live video for ‘Hanging Out To Dry (Dublin Version)’ by acclaimed Irish production company Tiny Ark and director Ais Brady. Watch the official video for ‘Hanging Out To Dry (Dublin Version)’ now.
Since then, they have taken their explosive live show across Europe and beyond, with festival appearances including Primavera Sound and Rock Werchter, alongside huge Irish support dates with Addison Rae, Two Door Cinema Club and Kings of Leon. Upcoming performances include Summer Sonic in Japan, Reading & Leeds and Rock en Seine before their hotly anticipated homecoming at Electric Picnic.
