Agents Alex Bruford and Sam Lister are leading the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The band continues with Ground Control Touring for North American bookings, Youth-Artist for management, Pitch Perfect PR for public relations, and 4AD for their record label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formed in 2017, Dry Cleaning is made up of vocalist Florence Shaw, guitarist Tom Dowse, bassist Lewis Maynard, and drummer Nick Buxton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The band broke through with the EPs <em>Sweet Princess<\/em> (2018) and <em>Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks<\/em> (2019) before signing to 4AD and releasing its acclaimed debut album <em>New Long Leg<\/em> in 2021, followed by <em>Stumpwork<\/em> in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The band&#8217;s third album, <em>Secret Love<\/em>, arrived on January 9, 2026, produced by Cate Le Bon. Dry Cleaning has a packed run of dates booked through the fall, including Green Man Festival in Powys, La Route du Rock in Saint-Malo, and Crossing Border Festival in the Netherlands, plus shows in Chile and Brazil in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deal adds Dry Cleaning to a growing list of UK acts ROAM has signed in 2026 for similar worldwide-excluding-North-America deals, including London art-punk act <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/man-woman-chainsaw-signs-with-roam-for-worldwide-representation-excluding-north-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Man\/Woman\/Chainsaw<\/a> and London jazz-fusion project <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/toast-club-signs-with-roam-for-worldwide-representation-excluding-north-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TOAST CLUB<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is ROAM continuing to build out its UK post-punk and alternative roster right as Dry Cleaning&#8217;s touring cycle behind <em>Secret Love<\/em> picks up steam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keeping Ground Control Touring in place for North America while handing the rest of the world to ROAM suggests the band&#8217;s camp sees different needs on each side of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also fits a wider pattern. ROAM has spent 2026 signing both emerging and established UK guitar acts, from newer names like Man\/Woman\/Chainsaw and TOAST CLUB to now a well-established act like Dry Cleaning. That range says a lot about how the merged agency is positioning itself against bigger competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could ROAM&#8217;s expanding UK roster help push Dry Cleaning into bigger festival slots across Europe next year? Does keeping Ground Control Touring in North America signal a slower, separate build for the US market?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South London post-punk four-piece Dry Cleaning has signed with ROAM for live music and touring representation worldwide, excluding North America.
