Jeff Kravitz / FilmMagic / Life Is Beautiful – Florence + The Machine
Florence + The Machine, seen here playing Life Is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas Sept. 22, was a festival staple this year.
Florence + the Machine unveiled a late spring North American tour Monday to accompany an already-announced headlining performance at New York’s Governors Ball on June 1.
Kicking off May 10 Mayer, Ariz.’s FORM Arcosanti festival and concluding June 9 at Miami’s AmericanAirlines Arena, the tour follows the more extensive trek Florence + the Machine embarked on in 2018 to support their fourth and most recent album, last year’s High As Hope.
Florence + the Machine’s opening acts will include Christine and the Queens, Blood Orange, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Perfume Genius.
In 2018, Florence + the Machine earned a spot on Pollstar‘s Year End Top 200 North American Tours chart, grossing $9.9 million. That tour included a headlining gig at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center that grossed $1.25 million with 13,100 tickets sold.
The upcoming tour will take powerhouse vocalist Florence Welch and her supporting group to several old haunts, including Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where the ensemble netted $538,279 with 9,235 tickets sold. They’ll also perform back-to-back shows at the Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara, Calif. on May 12-13 — where Florence sold 4,835 for a gross of $414,598 in 2015.
Other noteworthy venues Florence will return to include Boston’s Xfinity Center, where the group sold 12,018 tickets for a gross of $593,342 in 2016, and Toronto’s Budweiser Stage, where the group sold 15,881 tickets for a gross of $619,597 that same year.
Tickets for Florence’s upcoming tour go on sale to the general public Friday, Feb. 8 at 11 a.m. local time. She the complete list of dates below.
