England’s Florence Road have released new single “Wish Upon You,” out via Warner Records, alongside the announcement of their biggest tour to date, taking in major venues across the UK and Europe in 2027. Pre-sales sold so quickly that a second night at London’s O2 Kentish Town Forum has been added.
“Wish Upon You” opens with a piano intro before Lily Aron’s vocals take over, building to a soaring chorus. The band debuted the song live at their recent New York show.
They say of the track: “We didn’t have a plan for the song, but it became a love song without us really meaning for it to. It’s about that point when you’re with someone and everything just feels a bit easier. You’re not thinking too much about it, you’re just happy to be around them. Looking back, it’s probably one of the most uncomplicated resolute songs we’ve written, and I think that’s what makes it mean something to us. There’s no great sadness behind it or complicated story. It’s just about being happy, letting yourself believe in something good, and not feeling the need to talk yourself out of it.”
The single follows August’s “7563”. The band’s catalogue has now passed 112 million streams, and their monthly Spotify audience has topped 2.5 million listeners.
Florence Road recently completed a sold-out U.S. tour. During the run, their gear was stolen from a van in Los Angeles, and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam stepped in to lend them equipment so the tour could continue.
The band end this year with sold-out headline dates across Ireland in November and December,
