When is florence and the machine touring australia

It finally reached the number one position on the album chart on 17 January after remaining in the charts for 28 consecutive weeks. Their second studio album produced by Paul Epsworth who also worked with Bloc Party and Adele was release in Welsh has been pretty honest about her personal challenges with the road.

The audience gained another ounce of empathy with each breath…thus absorbing her sadness and eradicating any loneliness she might have been feeling. The collective energy was enough to bring the rocks crumbling down on our heads, but lucky for us and the City of Denver Florence held things together with the pure power of voice.

The calm before the storm just made the storm that much stronger. Read more. Report as inappropriate. Led by the charismatic and eccentric Florence Welch, the band has a reputation as one of the most exciting and energetic live acts currently working today. As the thunder begins to roll, the machine appears onstage followed by a majestic looking Florence who confidently takes the helm and launches into the all-consuming 'Only If For A Night'.

The haunting 'What The Water Gave Me' follows as Florence lifts her hands to the heavens and the audience cheer below her feet. Before you have time to react, Florence abandons the facade of a renaissance painting brought to life and has launched herself from the stage to sing and dance 'Rabbit Heart' with the crowd.

Her vocals shine through on the soulful 'Leave My Body' as she stands illuminated by a single spotlight and the restraint shown during early single 'Cosmic Love' make for an emotive moment. The finale of 'Spectrum' is a hedonistic piece of dark disco where the crowd surrender themselves to Florence's bizarre world.

Florence Welch has one of the most distinctive voices of this era, and the indie rock band in which she is the lead singer is carried by this timeless vocal performance time and time again. The blend of the band is something that comes across to the audience much more pronounced in a live performance environment.

Throughout their transitions between ballads and energetic upbeat songs, they maintained their engagement with the audience, having them hooked for the entire duration. Their stamina is worth noting, as throughout the concert, their performance, both physical and vocal did not dwindle at all. The live performance topped their studio recordings.

Their nomination for Best New Artist at the Grammys was wholeheartedly deserved. Their dedication to their fans is admirable, and their endeavours to make each concert about every member of the audience is something very refreshing. Florence and the Machine set the bar extremely high for live performances, making no mistakes and topping the quality of their recorded work. Feel so, so lucky to get 2x Standing, the perfect way to see her and the band.

Venue was perfect. She floated, danced, teased and enthralled her adoring audience. We didn't want it to stop: so much pleasure was being shared. Her voice is incredible, it blends with the music so very well. Truly, we are blessed! While I was expecting to hear more from the upcoming album, I was still delighted to hear all of the classics as well as a few new ones. This was my first time seeing FATM live, and they most certainly didn't disappoint. Florence's vocals were so omnipotent and sharp, and the same if not better than what you hear on the record.

Her free as a bird movements and seemingly infinite pool of energy were wondrous to behold. I enjoyed her interaction with the crowd as well, she seemed to bring a life to her audience that I've never seen other live artists do, personally. The only downsides might have been to do with the venue, which took too long to get everyone seated, also there wasn't much room between people so it was all rather cramped.

And the supporting act, which I didn't particularly enjoy nor could I understand very well. I definitely recommend that you go and see Florence and The Machine if they come to your city! They are such an amazing band and they sound as good live as they do on their albums. Florence has so much stamina and tirelessly runs around onstage from side to side, looking into the eyes of as many people as she possibly can. Highlights of her show in Manchester this year were 'Rabbit Heart Raise It Up ' when she encouraged people to get on their friend's shoulders and she ran offstage and up the steps into the lower tier seating!

The stage was minimal but dramatic, with a huge sparkling background, rows of spotlights and a large round moon and sun that came out from behind the background during the middle of the show.

Support act 'the staves' was really good but a bit too long for my liking. Highlight was last song 'dog days are over' with the amazing moon change on stage. I just want to go to next concert.
