The W and Z production processes play an important role in the physics program of hadron colliders. The expected accuracy at the Tevatron Run II and the LHC requires progress in the calculation of electroweak radiative corrections to these processes. To this end, higher order QED corrections to the Drell-Yan-like W and Z production, due to final state multiple photon radiation, are calculated. Particular attention is paid to the effects induced by such corrections on the experimental observables which are relevant for high precision measurements of the W boson mass. The calculation is implemented in the Monte Carlo event generator HORACE, which is available for data analysis.
