Florence Road is an Irish rock band formed in Bray, County Wicklow in 2019. The group consists of lead singer and guitarist Lily Aron, guitarist Emma Brandon, bassist Ailbhe Barry, and drummer Hannah Kelly.[1] They gained recognition in 2025 following the release of their single, "Heavy", but had built a platform on TikTok prior to this by covering music from other artists. The band signed to Warner Records and Warner Chappell Music.

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 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]
