2fm give the Dublin based four-piece the nod
The Riptide Movement are set to hit Groningen for the Eurosonic Festival, one of the continent's most prestigious showcases for the most promising acts around.
The annual festival has been instrumental in kick-starting the careers of top European acts such as George Ezra, Jungle and Royal Blood, while also doing their bit for Irish stars including Hozier, Kodaline and Villagers.
The Riptide boys - currently on the road for an Irish tour - are understandbly chuffed at the opportunity, saying: “We're delighted that RTÉ 2fm has chosen our band to represent Ireland at Eurosonic. Having played Glastonbury, Bennicassim and Electric Picnic, Eurosonic is one of those festivals that we've always wanted to play. Bring it on, we can't wait!”
God speed, men.
