Next Friday is Halloween, and it's also the release date for the new Florence + The Machine album Everybody Scream. That should be fun! We've already heard the title track and "One Of The Greats," and now Florence Welch has announced plans to hit arenas across North America next spring. If you've never seen Florence live, it's a true spectacle. Her best songs sound huge, and she's got the voice to deliver them. I don't know if I would've expected her to headline arenas, but that sounds like a good night out to me.
For that arena tour, Florence Welch has picked out a cool set of openers, who will cycle in and out of the tour as it goes. On different dates, she'll be supported by ascendant UK pop singer Rachel Chinouriri, LA singer-songwriter Sofia Isabella, ultra-charming Irish star CMAT, and whomp-ass Philadelphia punks Mannequin Pussy. Mannequin Pussy just finished a run with Turnstile, and they're also touring with Foo Fighters next year. If I were a bigger band, I'd frankly be afraid to book Mannequin Pussy as openers. You better bring your A-game after they get done.
Before the North American tour kicks off, Florence + The Machine will head across Ireland, the UK, and Europe. Check out their itinerary below.
