Published on

Florence + The Machine have shared details for a five-date Australia and New Zealand tour, taking their upcoming Dance Fever album Down Under in the first quarter of 2023.

The run will start in Perth on Saturday March 4, when Florence Welch and co. take to the stage at the RAC Arena. They’ll head to Melbourne next, playing Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday March 8, before jetting up to Sydney for a gig at Qudos Bank Arena the following Monday, March 13.

The last Australian show will go down at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre that Friday, March 17, with a sole NZ gig penciled in for Tuesday March 21 at Auckland’s Spark Arena.

The tragically hip release massive ‘up to here’ box set.

Joining the group for all five dates will be indie-pop star King Princess, who is currently hard at work on the follow-up to her 2019 debut, Cheap Queen . That record, tentatively titled ‘Hold On Baby’, is due for release later this year, with the recent singles “Little Brother” and “For My Friends” expected to appear on it.

Tickets for all five dates of the tour go on sale at 11am local time this Friday. There will be a presale for members of Frontier Touring’s mailing list, running from 11am on Wednesday, May 4.

Florence + The Machine’s new album, Dance Fever is due out on May 13 via Polydor. Announced back in March – and described by Welch as sounding like their 2009 debut ‘Lungs’ with “more self-knowledge” – the band have shared four singles from it thus far: “King”, “Heaven Is Here”, “My Love” and “Free”.

Last month, Welch opened up about the creation of Dance Fever , saying: “I had this drive underneath me and I was like if these songs want to get out, I have to get them out fast, because I do have other desires. The thing I’ve always been sure of is my work, but I do start to feel this shifting of priorities, this sense of like…maybe I want something different.”

The band debuted tracks from the album live in Newcastle last month, performing a series of new cuts including the unreleased “Girls Against God”. They’ll embark on an arena tour of the UK and Europe later this year, taking in 11 shows between Paris and Dublin this November.

Florence + The Machine’s 2023 Australian and New Zealand tour dates are:

Saturday, March 4 – Perth, RAC Arena Wednesday, March 8 – Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena Monday, March 13 – Sydney, Qudos Bank Arena Friday, March 17 – Brisbane, Entertainment Centre Tuesday, March 21 – Auckland, Spark Arena.

Stay up to date with what’s happening in and around the region  here . 

Touring in support of Florence + The Machine’s fifth studio album Dance Fever – to be released Friday 13 May via Universal Music – the album is produced by Florence Welch, Jack Antonoff and Dave Bayley, featuring singles ‘My Love’, ‘King’, ‘Heaven Is Here’ and ‘Free’ plus accompanying videos, all by acclaimed director Autumn de Wilde.

Dance Fever was recorded predominantly in London over the course of the pandemic in anticipation of the world’s reopening. It conjures up what Florence missed most in the midst of lockdown – clubs, dancing at festivals, being in the whirl of movement and togetherness – and the hope of reunions to come. It’s the album that brings back the very best of Florence – ​ wielding anthems like a flaming sword – poking sly fun at her own self-created persona, playing with ideas of identity, masculinity and femininity, while being redemptive and celebratory, stepping fully into her place in the iconic pantheon.

Dance Fever comes in the wake of a sea of critically acclaimed and widely doted musical scores that are adored by a myriad of fans dispersed through nearly every generation and demographic. The band’s debut album Lungs (2009) peaked at #3 on the ARIA Albums Chart and is certified 4x Platinum, while their sophomore release Ceremonials (2011) captivated audiences, taking the #1 spot on the ARIA Albums Chart, also gaining 4x Platinum certification. The prior success of their debut records ensured that the magic would continue even after a four-year break from releasing music, with How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (2015) also dominating the #1 spot in the ARIA Charts and High As Hope (2018) securing the #2 spot.

Australia was one of the first countries outside the UK to adopt Florence + The Machine as their own, landing a spot in the line-up at Laneway Festival in 2010. With a huge fan base down under, the band has sold over one million albums in Australia (17 million globally), boasting 412 million Australian streams (10.2 billion globally).

Supporting Florence + The Machine is American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist King Princess (aka Mikaela Straus), who will open at each of the Australian and New Zealand shows.

Frontier Members pre-sale starts 11am local time Wednesday 4 May before the General Public on sale at 11am local time Friday 6 May here .

Florence + The Machine to tour Australia in 2023

Florence + The Machine is set to tour Australia for the first time in four years.

The indie favourites, headed by enigmatic frontwoman Florence Welch, will kick off a nationwide run of shows at RAC Arena on March 4, 2023.

While fans may still have to wait 10 months yet, an added sweetener was added to the mix with news King Princess will support all Aussie dates.

The tour will follow the release of Florence + The Machine’s fifth studio record Dance Fever, which is out on May 13.

Journalism for the curious Australian across politics, business, culture and opinion.

The album has already spawned hit singles My Love, King, Heaven is here and Free and was recorded during the pandemic in London, as Welch dreamed of being back dancing at festivals and performing anthems for thrumming crowds.

Dance Fever follows the band’s smash debut album Lungs in 2009, Ceremonials in 2011, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful in 2015 and High As Hope in 2018, which have racked up more than one million sales collectively in Australia.

They last ventured Down Under in 2019 with a sell-out run of shows, which were described as “mesmerising” by critics.

“There’s a certain sense of pomp and grandeur to the Florence + The Machine live experience that you expect — string sections, wild dancing, beautiful costumes — her music lends itself to such presentation,” wrote Double J.

Presale tickets are on sale from 11am local time on May 4, with general sale to follow on May 6. Check out more here .

Florence and the Machine

In their first Australian tour since 2019, Florence and the Machine gave a celestial performance that celebrated divine femininity, vulnerability and resilience

Time Out says

While International Women’s Day was being celebrated across all four corners of the globe, over here in our little pocket of Melbourne, a fleet of flower crown-wearing fans headed to Rod Laver Arena to catch the bewitching  Florence and the Machine’s Dance Fever tour. 

For more than two hours, concertgoers were treated to a cosmically-charged performance that felt totally removed from time and place. Opening with Dance Fever’s (the band’s fifth album) ‘Heaven is Here’, a song that leans heavily on religious destruction and the chasm between heaven and hell, lead singer Florence Welch began to whisk listeners on a genre-crossing voyage of Baroque pop, pastoral folk and indie rock.

The flame-haired singer took to the stage (as she always so effortlessly does) in a nymph-like way, prancing about barefoot and gesticulating wildly in her blue-laced gown and fanning her bellowing sleeves – like a 21st-century Stevie Nicks. Against the backdrop of a shrine of wax candles, there was plenty of religious iconography to spot in a set that wrestled with life, death, image and addiction.    

It was only six songs in and halfway through her performance of ‘Dog Days Are Over’ that Welch finally introduced herself and the band to her fans. “This may be the first time you’ve seen us perform,” she hollered. “And you might be thinking: Is it a cult? Am I safe? My advice to you… is just let it happen, do everything I say, and you’ll be just fine.”

The ‘You Got the Love’ singer then launched into an impassioned plea for ditching phones, “or as they say in South London,” she reminded, “put your fucking phones away!” Welch encouraged fans to instead jump as high and for as long as they could and to bask in the offline love reverberating in the room. 

Fortunately, this congregation were receptive to her demands, and when it came to songs like ‘Free’, they even moved their arms up and down at her messianic command. The audience was later rewarded for their compliance with her performance of ‘Choreomania’ where Welch descended into the crowds, brushing fans’ hands as she sprinted through. Another highlight was hearing the dreamlike ‘Cosmic Love’, where the phone ban was lifted, and crowds illuminated the arena, transforming Rod Laver into a night sky full of fireflies.

After spending the past 15 years tackling everything from addiction (‘Morning Elvis’) and self-destruction (‘Ship to Wreck’) to unrequited love (‘Cosmic Love’) and eating disorders (‘Hunger’), Dance Fever is Welch’s critically-acclaimed fifth studio album that orbits around confessional themes of femininity and vulnerability. 

The latest album was made during the pandemic, inspired by Welch’s fixation with choreomania, a social phenomenon in Europe during the Middle Ages that left swathes of people in inexplicable fits of dancing. Lively sets like these must feel like a full-circle moment for Welch, who now gets to see her fans being socially undistant and dancing to songs like ‘Kiss With A Fist’ and ‘You’ve Got The Love.' "You all look amazing," the singer cooed, looking down at her glitter-speckled fans.

The encore saw Florence and the Machine finish with fan-favourites ‘Never Let Me Go’, ‘Shake It Out’ and ‘Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)’. The performance of ‘Never Let Me Go’ was particularly hard-hitting. Welch had refrained from performing the song for a decade as it triggered memories of a traumatic time she wished to avoid. “It just hurt too much to sing it,” she confessed. Thunderous claps rippled through the crowd to herald in her performance of the song, which has now become a permanent fixture – and thank the heavens for that.

Their first live tour since the pandemic, Florence and the Machine were never going to do anything half-heartedly. Audiences were whisked on a euphoric odyssey for the entire duration of the 23-song set. Welch’s spine-chilling vocals, magnetic stage presence and conductor-like command of the crowd left audiences blown away and up into the cosmos. And what better way to have celebrated International Women’s Day than with the goddess herself? 

Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.

Florence and the Machine book Aussie arenas for 2023

British pop star Florence and The Machine joins the competition for the Australian concert dollar with Dance Fever tour on sale this week.

Internet goes wild over Prince William

Rare Beatles footage unearthed at flea market

Plans for huge Bunnings Warehouse rave

British art rock stars Florence and the Machine has revealed her Australian tour plans for March next year as the great concert comeback floods the market with hundreds of thousands of tickets.

In just the past month, Harry Styles released tickets for his six Love On Tour stadium shows kicking off in February 2023, Jimmy Barnes announced his Soul Deep 30 anniversary arena shows and rap star Stormzy finally shared the rescheduled November dates for his Heavy Is The Head tour.

A raft of homegrown live favourites including Keith Urban, Amy Shark, The Angels, Spiderbait, Amy Shark, Sampa The Great, Boy and Bear, Gretta Ray and Ben Lee also put new tours on sale or added extra dates to their tours.

Other internationals to recently announce their returns to Australian stages this year include British singer songwriter Calum Scott and Canadian Tate McRae.

The concert posters are fighting for hoarding space with festivals also back in the announcement swing last week. Listen Out will return in September with Disclosure, Young Thug and Tove Lo while Spilt Milk will host Flume, The Wombats, G Flip, Genesis Owusu and Spacey Jane in November.

Florence and the Machine will kick off their Dance Fever tour at RAC Arena, Perth on March 4 and then head to Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne on March 8; Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney on March 13 and Brisbane Entertainment Centre on March 17.

It will be the first tour from Florence Welch and her band in four years, with the show announcement neatly timed ahead of the release of their fifth album Dance Fever on May 13.

Even as each tour and festival announcement fuels excited fan chatter online, most official outlets still have tickets for all the big gigs available on their sites as competition for the concert dollar heats up.

More Coverage

Despite growing consumer confidence in the return of live music in recent weeks, ongoing Covid infections and cost of living pressures could slow down ticket sales in the coming months.

But the promoters will keep up the tour hit parade with Coldplay teasing fans about when they will bring their Music Of The Spheres world tour here and Lil Nas X is also expected to add shows down under to his global victory lap.

A Frontier Members pre-sale for the Dance Fever tour by Florence and the Machine opens on May 4 with general tickets on sale from 11am on May 6.

Florence Welch is the lead singer and frontwoman of the indie band Florence + The Machine, formed in South London, UK, in 2007.

Known for a unique and dreamy blend of folk, art-pop, indie rock, and neo soul, as well as her stirring and ethereal live performances, Welch has been likened to artists such as Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Ellie Goulding.

Florence + The Machine is a band composed of Welch, pianist Isabella Summers, Robert Ackroyd (guitar), Tom Monger (harp), Mark Saunders (bass), and a rotating cast of other artists. Welch credits her bandmates with helping unlock her creative process, as they have been so tuned-in to each others’ musical abilities for so long that they naturally know what she’s hoping for in each new song.

The band’s name came from Welch’s teenage years, when she collaborated with Isabella “Machine” Summers. For a while, the two performed as Florence Robot/Isa Machine — a private joke that eventually stuck in slightly altered form.

With huge encouragement from the BBC, Florence received early critical acclaim and attention from UK audiences as BBC Music Introducing strongly promoted the band. The band’s debut album, Lungs, was released on July 6, 2009, and reached the number two slot in the UK Album Chart, retaining the position for five consecutive weeks. It finally reached the number one position on the album chart on January 17, 2010. By October 2010, Lungs had spent a total of 65 consecutive weeks in the top 40 album charts.

Notable singles from the album included “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up),” “Kiss With A Fist,” and “Dog Days Are Over,” with the songs being featured on films and television series like Jennifer’s Body, 90210, Gossip Girl, Glee, and Skins.

Undoubtedly, the biggest hit single released from Lungs was the cover of The Source and Candi Staton’s 1986 single “You’ve Got The Love.” The track was later also released in collaboration with UK grime rapper Dizzee Rascal under the title, “You’ve Got The Dirtee Love,” following Welch and Dizzee’s 2010 Brit Award performance of the mash-up.

The band’s second studio album, Ceremonials, was preceded by a demo session in January 2010 at a small studio in London. Several producers vied for the chance to produce it, but Welch rejected their offers because she was after a new sound: something darker, heavier, more explosive, and grittier. The band had the rest of the year to work sporadically on the music, since they were out on the road touring heavily.

When the group did record, it happened between January and April 2011 at Abbey Road Studios with producer Paul Epworth, who co-wrote seven of the album’s tracks. Other co-writers included Kid Harpoon and Summers. Welch had to record many of the vocal tracks in various U.S. studios between shows on her tour.

Ceremonials featured singles “Shake It Out” and “What The Water Gave Me,” with the latter video receiving an outstanding 1.5 million views on YouTube in just two days alongside the track on iTunes in August 2011. The fourth single for the album, a remix of “Spectrum (Say My Name)” by Scotland’s Calvin Harris, became the band’s first number-one hit in the UK.

Unsurprisingly, Ceremonials reached number one on the UK Album Chart and number six on the U.S. Billboard 200. Furthermore, Florence + The Machine was honored with nominations for two Brit Awards: British Album of the Year and Best British Female Artist.

2012 was a year of rest for Florence + The Machine after having gone all out for the past half-decade. By the end of December 2012, Ceremonials had received a nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album.

In June 2014, Welch revealed that the band was working on its third studio album. Seven months later, the band performed the new album in its entirety to a crowd in a private London show. The next day, a music video for the title track, “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful,” dropped, followed by another video for the song “St. Jude.”

When How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful finally dropped on May 29, it rose to the number-one spot on the UK Albums Chart — the band’s third time enjoying the honor — and hit number one on the U.S. Billboard 200. It was nominated five times for the Grammys. That year, the band headlined Glastonbury Festival, and its set received critical acclaim from a number of outlets. In 2016, Florence and the Machine released a short film called The Odyssey, which combined all of the album’s music videos into one narrative structure.

May 2017 saw an announcement of yet another studio album, High as Hope. During this period, then-drummer Christopher Hayden left the band, but the music didn’t stop: singles like “Sky Full of Song” and “Hunger” came in April and May of 2018. Florence + The Machine stayed busy with tours and song-crafting through the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, when it released “Light of Love” to support the Intensive Care Society.

By early 2022, the band was back on the road, headlining festivals like Madrid’s Mad Cool. The band’s fans began receiving letters with a cryptic print entitled “King – Chapter 1,” which led to speculation of a new single. Welch confirmed the rumors on February 22 on her Instagram account. “King,” the new single, came out the next day along with a music video. “Heaven Is Here” followed on March 7. Dance Fever, the fifth studio album, was released on May 13 and immediately shot to the number-one spot in the UK.

Live reviews

Only a few hours after I wrote about Hozier performing one of the most intimate sets I had ever experienced at Red Rocks, Florence Welsh completely redefined the word ‘intimacy’. The 28-year-old vocalist of Florence + the Machine had been photographed in meltdown mode at the Montreal airport just days prior, so it came as no shock when she decided do to something a little different on the last date of her current tour. Welsh has been pretty honest about her personal challenges with the road. She’s described feelings of loneliness and exhaustion that border on depression. I’m sure she found solace in the fact that her vocal chords held strong this time around (she damaged them not long before her Red Rocks show in 2012), but she seemed slightly unraveled by the time she took the stage for a special acoustic set on Monday night.

Large scale performances and frayed nerves usually equal disaster, but as Florence’s emotions danced around her windswept red curls, she used her sweet sorrow to create an air of melancholy that infected the crowd during her stripped-down set. The audience gained another ounce of empathy with each breath…thus absorbing her sadness and eradicating any loneliness she might have been feeling. The science was exact, so by the time the 12-piece ensemble went into full effect for ‘the electric era’, we had become her friends, her confidants, and her choir. The collective energy was enough to bring the rocks crumbling down on our heads, but lucky for us (and the City of Denver) Florence held things together with the pure power of voice. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky during the entire set, but this season has seen its fair share of strong weather, and Florence + the Machine gave every drop of rain, gust of wind and bolt of lightning a run for its money. The calm before the storm just made the storm that much stronger. - See more at: http://ilistensoyoudonthaveto.com/2015/08/06/florence-the-machine-red-rocks-08-03-15/#sthash.nrdxF7Aq.dpuf

Florence + the Machine are a power force in the UK indie scene who have conquered both sides of the Atlantic since their rise to fame following the release of 'Lungs'. Led by the charismatic and eccentric Florence Welch, the band has a reputation as one of the most exciting and energetic live acts currently working today.

As the thunder begins to roll, the machine appears onstage followed by a majestic looking Florence who confidently takes the helm and launches into the all-consuming 'Only If For A Night'. The haunting 'What The Water Gave Me' follows as Florence lifts her hands to the heavens and the audience cheer below her feet.

Before you have time to react, Florence abandons the facade of a renaissance painting brought to life and has launched herself from the stage to sing and dance 'Rabbit Heart' with the crowd. Her vocals shine through on the soulful 'Leave My Body' as she stands illuminated by a single spotlight and the restraint shown during early single 'Cosmic Love' make for an emotive moment. The finale of 'Spectrum' is a hedonistic piece of dark disco where the crowd surrender themselves to Florence's bizarre world.

Despite only having released their debut in 2009, Florence + the Machine have crafted a live show that is less a gig and more an all-consuming assault on the senses.

Florence Welch has one of the most distinctive voices of this era, and the indie rock band in which she is the lead singer is carried by this timeless vocal performance time and time again.

Opening her concert with ‘You’ve Got the Love’, Florence finds the perfect balance between a classically lyrical performance, and enthusiastic and upbeat. The blend of the band is something that comes across to the audience much more pronounced in a live performance environment. Throughout their transitions between ballads and energetic upbeat songs, they maintained their engagement with the audience, having them hooked for the entire duration. Their stamina is worth noting, as throughout the concert, their performance, both physical and vocal did not dwindle at all. The live performance topped their studio recordings.

Their 2010 nomination for Best New Artist at the Grammys was wholeheartedly deserved. Their dedication to their fans is admirable, and their endeavours to make each concert about every member of the audience is something very refreshing. Florence and the Machine set the bar extremely high for live performances, making no mistakes and topping the quality of their recorded work.

I've waited several years for Florence + The Machine to play an intimate gig near me. Suddenly, on April26th 2018 SONGKICK emailed to say just such a gig was on at Scunthorpe Baths Hall on May6th ! Wow!

Applied online via Baths Hall website, & so pleased tickets limited to 2 per person, we were all in with a chance... Feel so, so lucky to get 2x Standing, the perfect way to see her and the band. My daughter Susie & I went: she couldn't believe our good luck either.

Venue was perfect. I'd researched the playlist from Halifax, May5th, visited the old numbers + checked out the new ones, too, so I felt prepared... but I wasn't: I'd expected the atmosphere to be up close and personal, but it was so much more.

Florence hit the stage & wow! Perfect blend of old/ new, a very balanced set from a hugely professional outfit. Florence was so open & warm giving background to several numbers. She floated, danced, teased and enthralled her adoring audience. We didn't want it to stop: so much pleasure was being shared. Her voice is incredible, it blends with the music so very well. Truly, we are blessed !

An electric show of epic proportions.

While I was expecting to hear more from the upcoming album, I was still delighted to hear all of the classics as well as a few new ones. This was my first time seeing FATM live, and they most certainly didn't disappoint. Florence's vocals were so omnipotent and sharp, and the same if not better than what you hear on the record. Her free as a bird movements and seemingly infinite pool of energy were wondrous to behold. I enjoyed her interaction with the crowd as well, she seemed to bring a life to her audience that I've never seen other live artists do, personally.

The only downsides might have been to do with the venue, which took too long to get everyone seated, also there wasn't much room between people so it was all rather cramped. And the supporting act, which I didn't particularly enjoy nor could I understand very well. But those things have nothing to do with Florence + The Machine personally, so it doesn't reflect on them negatively whatsoever.

Overall, an enjoyable experience that I would repeat in a heartbeat.

I definitely recommend that you go and see Florence and The Machine if they come to your city! They are such an amazing band and they sound as good live as they do on their albums. Florence has so much stamina and tirelessly runs around onstage from side to side, looking into the eyes of as many people as she possibly can. Highlights of her show in Manchester this year were 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)' when she encouraged people to get on their friend's shoulders and she ran offstage and up the steps into the lower tier seating! 'Dog Days Are Over' was a perfect finale that ended with many people leaving the concert with very little clothing on! The stage was minimal but dramatic, with a huge sparkling background, rows of spotlights and a large round moon and sun that came out from behind the background during the middle of the show. Definitely go and see them if you get the chance, you won't regret it! They're worth every penny.

Florence + The Machine @ Manchester Arena

Friday 18th September 2015

10/10. Her voice sounds the same live as it does recorded. She was a crazy ball of energy dancing and running around every inch of the stage in a flowing dress and long hair. Florence even went into the crowd on several occasions to directly connect with people (much to the dismay of her security). Her commentary between songs majorly enhanced the performance as she is adorably shy and has the most calming ethereal presence- which basically means she is a massive hippie. She encouraged everyone to hold hands and embrace and put our phones away and jump wildly with her. Her band were also excellent and the staging- white sheets, almost like sails, hanging from the ceiling which were raised up and down and had lights shone on them- and the gorgeous glitter confetti which dropped at the end added to the magical experience. Next time I will be waiting for hours before to get to the front row!! Could not recommend more!!

This was the best concert I have ever been to. That is being said after seeing a lot of them. She has so much energy, and conects to the crowd so well.

A lady had jumped on to the stage while Florence was performing 'Rabbit Heart' and the security guard went after her. Florence stopped him politely, then gave the lady a big hug. Music continued on to add to the theme of her kindness. She then went on to run through the crowd, and hug a bunch of people. She ran around, then sang a note so clearly as if she hadn't moved a step. She even asked to have every one stand up and dance which was great, because where I live, people have the tendency to just sit and watch at concerts like that. I had a blast - danced my heart out to every song, and felt as if I was on some sort of high due to the energy that she sent through the crowd. I am going to see her every time she comes to town now. For sure.

What can I say? What a fantastic evening. We got to Ally Pally really early to be one of the first in....we weren't first!. Despite the heavy rain loads of people were in the line before us. The doors opened and we all entered. Luckily, we were able to get into the hall quickly, resulting in us being centre stage, 5 from the front.

We waited and waited, feet getting tired. The support band (Three girls from Watford) came on. They were awesome.

Finally,, the moment arrived, with Flo coming on stage. The concert started with 'What the Water Wants'....it just got better and better. The whole audience were enthralled. The audience sang along to every song. The atmosphere was electric. What a talented lady and group of musicians. I go to loads of gigs and concerts. I was looking forward to seeing FTM the moist and she didn't disappoint.

The concert was awesome.

Florence Welch's presence on stage is unbelievable, her voice is more powerful than in their CDs, and she dances and sings with a lot of passion.

The concert started with "What the water gave me", and it made clear that it was going to be very good. The band has a lot of great songs, and the concert was great from start to end.

One of the best moments was when, while performing "Dog days are over", Florence asked everyone to hug each other, then to take something off and wave it in the air, and to jump as high as we could on a count of three. Everyone was jumping and dancing, and the energy that the crowd, Florence and the song transmitted was huge.

Florence and the Machine´s fans shouldn´t miss the oportunity to go to one of their concerts.

About Florence + The Machine

The London indie-rock band, Florence and the Machine create a musical world where heartfelt sentiments rule the game. Described as pastoral folk, artful rock, and experimental baroque indie, Florence and the Machine grabbed mainstream success with their multi-platinum selling "Dog Days Are Over" from their debut album "Lungs." Their music created an unprecedented music hysteria, and it was all thanks to Florence Welch's poetic voice that the band managed to hit their highest highs. Their third album, "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful," topped both the UK charts and the Billboard 200 charts, two. They followed it up with a performance at the Glastonbury festival, where Florence was the first female artist to headline the festival this century. Their live performances match their music. The band comes alive, their energy is there, and Florence lets her voice run wild!
