DIY's Class of 2026
Florence Road to headline DIY’s Class of 2026 launch party at Hoxton’s Colours!
Silver Gore and Megan Wyn will also play the show, to help celebrate our brand new double issue next week.

Get your diaries out, because it’s that time of year again! DIY are launching our bumper Class of 2026 issue - aka the ultimate guide to all the new artists set to hit the big time over the next 12 months - next week, and we want you to join in the fun! To mark the mag’s launch, we’re returning to Colours Hoxton for a night of celebration with a handful of the acts featured in the magazine, and what’s sure to be a right festive knees up.
Set to take place at Colours in Hoxton on Tuesday 9th December, the night will be headlined by the incredible Florence Road, who’ve just shared their latest single ‘Storm Warnings’ and are fresh from supporting Wolf Alice over in Europe this past month. Already playing Colours once already (later this week), the Irish quartet will be returning to the venue for a very special second show, in what’s sure to be one of your last chances to see them in such an intimate setting.
What’s more, we’ll be joined by the boundary-pushing duo Silver Gore, as well as BIMM Institute alumni Megan Wyn, who’ll be opening proceedings up for us on the night. As ever, tickets for our Class of 2026 launch party are free, and you can sign up via Dice now. But please remember, entry is on a first come, first served basis, and a ticket does not guarantee entry! This is also an 18+ show.
We’d also like to say a big thanks to the sponsors of our Class of 2026 party this year: Jack Daniel’s, BIMM University, Q Acoustics, and Fender, who are all helping to make this happen. We’ll see you down the front!

Class of 2026: Florence Road
Back in January, Wicklow four-piece Florence Road were yet to play a gig outside of Ireland. Fast forward 12 months to now, and the band have travelled the world, released their debut mixtape ‘Fall Back’, and played alongside the likes of Wolf Alice, Wallows and Olivia Rodrigo; all while firmly staking their claim as the fast-rising new band to get behind.
