Bangor, NI–based band The Florentinas are kicking off 2026 with the release of their crowd-favourite single, 'Porcelain'.
The release follows a hugely successful 2025, which saw the band tour Europe with Snow Patrol and play major UK festival dates, including a special guest slot at Snow Patrol’s 22,000-capacity Belsonic show in Belfast. It also comes ahead of a run of five shows supporting White Lies in the UK and Ireland, kicking off tomorrow (Saturday 24 January) in Dublin and concluding in London on Saturday 31 January.
Talking about ‘Porcelain’, vocalist Paddy Boyd said: “‘Porcelain’ has really come into itself and found an identity. We really couldn’t be more excited about it. It went down a treat in our live shows last year and for us there isn’t a more perfect track to launch us into the new year.”

Formed in early 2019, The Florentinas comprises Paddy (vocals), Jacob Kane (bass), Luke Swann (guitar) and Jakob Swann (drums), who met at secondary school in Bangor, Northern Ireland.
The four-piece are finishing their debut album following the release of well received singles including, ‘Miami’, ‘Sandcastles’, ‘It’s Not In Vain’ and ‘Weatherman’, receiving daytime playlist support across some of Ireland’s largest radio stations, supporting artists such as, Nothing But Thieves, The Amazons, Stereophonics and Snow Patrol, as well as performing at Electric Picnic and Other Voices and closed the year by winning the BBC Introducing Artist of the Year award at the Northern Ireland Music Prize.
