Florence + The Machine

BIOGRAPHy

Florence + TheMachine
Led by powerhouse vocalist Florence Welch, Florence + The Machine defined the 2026 musical landscape with their sixth studio album, Everybody Scream, and its massive accompanying world arena tour.  Formed in London in 2007, the English indie rock band rose to international prominence on the back of dramatic, theatrical production and Welch’s transcendent, operatic vocals. Over nearly two decades, Welch and her primary collaborator Isabella Summers evolved from the gothic-pop mythology of their debut Lungsand the visceral folk-fairytale landscapes of Dance Fever into raw, unflinching territory. Released following a period of deep personal reckoning and healing for Welch, Everybody Scream trades fairy-tale metaphors for the stark, visceral imagery of folk-horror, examining womanhood, legacy, loss, and the fierce reclamation of female agency with blistering clarity. The accompanying Everybody Scream Tour became one of 2006’s defining live spectacles. Commencing in Belfast in February 2026, the high-drama arena run swept across the UK and Europe before crossing into North America in the spring with stops at legendary venues like Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum, followed by major festival headline slots. Bolstered by a 2026 Mercury Prize Album of the Year nomination for their body of work, Florence + the Machine cemented their status not merely as pop enchantresses, but as vital, cathartic chroniclers of the human condition.
