Florence Road Land Top Slot at Ohana After Gear Stolen: ‘It Means a Lot for a Little Irish Band’
Irish rock band Florence Road had their van broken into after a successful Troubadour show, with all their equipment stolen and their planned Ohana Festival performance cancelled. Festival organisers later found them a replacement slot, allowing the rising quartet to play on a major stage alongside Alabama Shakes and Tyler Childers.
The band performed on Saturday evening, thanking Eddie Vedder and the Ohana team before playing songs including “Heavy”, “Hanging Out to Dry” and “Break the Girl”. Named after a road in Bray, County Wicklow, Florence Road recently toured with Olivia Rodrigo, Sombr and Wolf Alice, released the EP Spring Forward, and are completing North American dates in New York, Boston and Toronto.
