Confirmed to perform at SUMMER SONIC 2026! Hailing from Ireland, Florence Road is a breakout-ready newcomer generating massive buzz this summer. To mark their first-ever visit to Japan, a special Japan-exclusive compilation is being released!
Florence Road is a four-piece all-female band from Wicklow, Ireland, rapidly making their mark on the contemporary indie scene. They have quickly garnered a following thanks to a guitar-driven sound—reminiscent of grunge and 90s alternative rock—and songwriting that reflects authentic, relatable emotions. Centered around vocalist Lily Aron, their sound fuses emotional melodies with a modern pop sensibility. After gaining traction through live performance clips and cover songs on social media, they achieved a major breakthrough with their original material starting in 2025. They shot to prominence after catching the eye of Olivia Rodrigo, who selected them as a tour opening act. They have since been hailed as a "next-generation breakout act," earning spots on lists like BBC’s "Sound of 2026," Amazon Music’s "2026 Artists to Watch," and Pandora’s "Artist to Watch 2026," while also gracing the covers of major publications such as *Hot Press* and *DORK*. Highly acclaimed for their live performances, they have a string of major shows lined up for this summer—supporting acts like Addison Rae, Kings of Leon, and Two Door Cinema Club—in addition to their confirmed appearance at SUMMER SONIC 2026. High expectations surround them as one of the most important new acts poised to take the leap from Ireland to the global stage.
This release is a special Japan-exclusive compilation featuring their two previously released digital EPs—*Spring Forward* (released March 2026) and *Fall Back* (released September 2025)—plus three additional live tracks!
