Florence + The Machine Announce UK Arena Tour

• 13th Sep 2012

Warbling songstress and her band Florence + The Machine have announced a new set of UK tour dates to round off yet another whirlwind year. Love her or hate her, Florence has become the soundtrack to ad-breaks, BBC trailers, countless Olympic moments and almost all festival coverage ever.

Summer 2012 has seen Florence + the Machine breathe life into festival stage after festival stage, both at home and abroad, conquering main stages at the likes of Reading & Leeds and Radio’s 1s Hackney Weekend, as well as headlining Friday night at Bestival. Her winter tour dates will see her take in some of the country’s biggest venues, including London’s 18,000 capacity O2 Arena in London on December 5 – that’s some way to close an epic year for the girl from Camberwell.

Support will come from new US talent HAIM, who have been hailed by NME as a “tribute to the power of percussion and harmony”.

Ceremonials, which debuted at No.1 in the Album charts almost a year ago, has taken Florence + The Machine to new heights worldwide. Florence also celebrated her long-awaited first UK No.1 single this year with ‘Spectrum’ in July.
