History
Formation and early years
Florence Road was formed by four childhood friends in Bray, County Wicklow. The members began writing and performing music together in a garden shed and initially attracted attention through fisheye lens performance videos shared on social media.[1]
Fall Back and rise (2025)
In March 2025, the band released their single "Heavy", co-written with Marshall Vore and John Hill.[2] The track received favourable reviews and a notable endorsement from American singer Olivia Rodrigo, increasing its streaming popularity.[citation needed]
Their second single, "Caterpillar", produced by Dan Nigro, followed in April 2025. It was praised for its acoustic instrumentation and its lyrical exploration of anxiety and personal transformation.[3]
In June 2025, Florence Road released their debut mixtape, Fall Back, preceded by the single "Figure It Out".[4][3]
Shortly after completing secondary school, Florence Road signed a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and a recording contract with Warner Records.[5]
The band supported Olivia Rodrigo during selected dates of her Guts World Tour, including performances at Marlay Park in Dublin and BST Hyde Park in London.[6][7]
In June 2025, the band toured with Sombr briefly; performing in Cologne, London and two different Amsterdam locations. In November, they supported Wolf Alice on a European tour.
In 2026, they supported The Last Dinner Party on their North American tour.[8]
