The long awaited return of Florence and the Machine has finally been announced. The “You Got the Love” and “Dog Days Are Over” singer, has finally made a return with an impressive tour announcement, following the release and initial success of ‘Free’ and ‘My Love’, from the new album, Dance Fever, set to release on May 13th. The multifaceted band, formed of singer Florence Welch, guitarist Rob Ackroyd, keyboardist Isabella Summers and harpist Tom Monger have previously crossed various genres, collaborating with various other musicians through their career to keep fans eagerly waiting and guessing what they will come out with next. Ranging from genres such as indie rock, folk, pop and neo soul, Florence and the Machine have pulled in fans from every direction. It is no wonder they have risen to success since their debut in 2009 with their album Lungs.
Florence and the Machine initially announced their tour in March 2022, with 41 dates across the UK, North America and Europe, through the months of June to November, to showcase their new album. Their first show is set to take place on the 6th of May, 7 days before the albums release, at the Alice Tully Hall, in New York.
Florence Welch has recently announced 5 additional dates across Australia and New Zealand in March 2023 on twitter, 4 months after her initial North American and European tour comes to an end.
