FLO will be honoured with the Vanguard Award at the ASCAP (the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) 2026 event in London.

The MOBO-award winning British group, whose second album Therapy At The Club is released next month, will receive the special award in person at the ASCAP London Celebrates Songwriters and Composers private event on June 16. 

ASCAP honours the PRS songwriters and composers whose musical works are licensed by ASCAP for US performances. The organisation’s Vanguard Award commemorates breakthrough artists who are shaping the future of music, with previous honourees including Dua Lipa, Victoria Monet and St Vincent.
