Gaining global attention with 2019’s sold-out EP Backyard and 2020’s critically acclaimed debut album From a View, Floodlights went on to play sold-out shows and festivals across Australia, performing alongside the likes of Amyl and The Sniffers and Arctic Monkeys. In 2023, Floodlights supported Pavement and Black Midi on their Australian national tours and also featured at SXSW in Texas, USA. They then went on tour in the UK / Europe, playing at a range of festivals such as Green Man and End Of The Road, where they showcased their most recent album, Painting of My Time, which was shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize in 2023. Floodlights’ dynamic live performance is raw and intimate, intertwined with powerful outbursts and marching rhythms. Evocative lyricism has always laid at the heart of their songwriting and is enhanced by their unique sound. Since the beginning of their short career, Floodlights have explored themes of personal turbulence, national identity and the Australian landscape as a form of escapism. Painting of My Time signals the next step for the band, building upon these themes while showcasing their sonic progression which translates to a captivating live show.
