RTÉ 2fm has announced that it has nominated The Riptide Movement to represent Ireland at Europe's largest new-music event, the Eurosonic Festival in Groningen, the Netherlands in January.

The festival runs from January 14 - 17 2015 with 
festival bookers, agents, promoters and radio stations from across Europe set to attend. 

As one of the founding partners of Eurosonic, 2fm has previously sent The Strypes, Little Green Cars, The Frames, James Vincent McMorrow, The Coronas, Cathy Davey, God Is An Astronaut, Heathers, Julie Feeney and JJ72, among others, to the festival.

The Riptide Movement said: "We're delighted that RTÉ 2fm has chosen our band to represent Ireland at Eurosonic."

The band added: "Having played Glastonbury, Benicassim and Electric Picnic, Eurosonic is one of those festivals that we've always wanted to play. Bring it on, we can't wait!"
