Singles such as 'Drumming Song', 'Rabbit Heart' and 'Howl' from their debut album Lungs were practically ubiquitous between 2009 and 2011, and remain some of the best-loved pop tracks from the 2010s.
If you've been lucky enough to witness the band live, you were treated to a spectacular performance. From Florence Welch's bellowing voice (I mean that in the best way), awe-inspiring visual effects and exceptional music, it's truly something to behold.
