Florence and the Machine

Florence + The Machine are set to ignite stages across the country when they return to New Zealand in May 2012 as part of an Australasian tour.

Following on from the multi-award winning debut album ‘Lungs,’ Florence + The Machine first played here in January 2010 on the Laneway Festival bill. Barely six months later, Florence continued to wow audiences on the main stage at Splendour In The Grass and sell out multiple theatre shows in Australia.

So overwhelming was the demand that shows sold out in record timing and her stay in Australia was extended to allow additional shows not previously planned.

For debut album 'Lungs', Florence recorded with her band in five weeks over the European summer in Abbey Road's legendary Studio 3.

“This is the first time I’ve made a record with a sort of overarching, cohesive sound” says Florence: “It’s a proper studio album in that sense: a group of songs that paint a unified picture of where I am in my life right now.”
