South London's Florence + the Machine blend Baroque pop, pastoral folk, and artful alternative rock to create a rousing sound which they debuted on 2009's Lungs. Led by namesakes Florence Welch and Isabella "Machine" Summers, the group broke into the mainstream upon the strength of their platinum singles "Dog Days Are Over," "You've Got the Love," and "Shake It Out," which were elevated by Welch's powerhouse vocals. With a stage presence like no other, driven by Welch’s epic storytelling and forceful voice, fans can expect a near-religious experience. Support comes from the dynamic, popstar powerhouse, Self Esteem. After the release of her 2025 album A Complicated Woman, and a career-defining set at Glastonbury 2025, crowds are in for a fearless and joyous start to the show. Jacob Alon is also on the bill, bringing haunting vocals and a touch of magic to the event.
