2025 firmly established them as one of the most exciting new acts to watch. The Irish four-piece dropped their debut mixtape Fall Back to widespread acclaim, sold out their first UK and Ireland headline tour, and earned major accolades including a spot on the BBC Sound of 2026 list and Pandora’s Artist to Watch 2026. They also landed magazine covers for DIY’s Class of 2026 issue, Hot Press and DORK, delivered standout sets at SXSW London and The Great Escape, and supported Olivia Rodrigo, sombr, Wallows, Royel Otis, and Wolf Alice. With more music on the way this year, their momentum shows no sign of slowing.

Made up of childhood friends Lily Aron (Vocals), Emma Brandon (Guitar), Ailbhe Barry (Bass) and Hannah Kelly (Drums), Florence Road spent their teens perfecting their craft in Aron’s garden shed in Bray, Ireland, refining a sound that is as influenced by icons like The Cranberries as it is contemporary peers such as Wolf Alice and Phoebe Bridgers.
First capturing audience attention by posting covers online in their distinct style, the band have more than delivered on their early promise and the fervent noise around them should serve as ample warning that Florence Road are set to establish themselves as one of the defining bands of their generation.
