The Florentinas

The Florentinas are a four-piece alternative band from Northern Ireland, formed in early 2019 by Paddy Boyd (vocals), Jacob Kane (bass), Luke Swann (guitar), and Jakob Swann (drums). Hailing from Bangor and based in Belfast, The Florentinas have swiftly carved out a presence in the UK live music scene with their compelling indie rock and hook-laden songwriting. Since signing a publishing deal with BMG, the group has continued to impress both fans and critics, with singles such as "Sandcastles," "It's Not In Vain," "Weatherman," "Miami," "For You," and "The Scary Thing Is" receiving strong radio support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, RTE 2fm, and more.

Concert appearances remain a vital aspect of The Florentinas' growing reputation. In January 2026 at Limelight 1 in Belfast, they provided support for acclaimed headliners White Lies, further cementing their status as a standout live act. The Florentinas have previously supported major artists including Nothing But Thieves, The Amazons, Stereophonics, Snow Patrol, The Coronas, and Kodaline, and have appeared at renowned festivals such as Stendhal Festival, Electric Picnic, and Other Voices. Their sold-out headline show at the Belfast Empire in May 2023 stands out as a testament to their increasing popularity and dynamic stage presence.

With a string of recent releases and a proven track record supporting headline acts, The Florentinas continue to make their mark on the UK alternative music landscape.
