Florence + The Machine Australian Tour Selling Out Fast

Florence + The Machine have announced a third show at the Sydney Opera House for Sunday, November 15 after huge demand saw them sell out their first two dates.
The band has had a stellar year, which has seen the release of the eight-times number one album ‘How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful’, as well as headlining performances at Glastonbury and more recently Splendour in the Grass.
Ben Marshall, head of Contemporary Music at Sydney Opera House, said he excited to see the return of the band.
"Florence + The Machine's titanic performance in the Concert Hall with the Ceremonial Orchestra for 2012's Vivid Live is seared into my mind and I wasn't sure if we'd ever get the chance to go one better and present her on the steps,” he said.
“So I'm genuinely honoured that this immense talent is returning for three monumental moments on the Opera House Forecourt.”
Florence Welch’s undeniable rise has seen the two-time Brit Award-winner and Grammy nominee veer between choral majesty and a soul-driven bombast across her debut breakthrough ‘Lungs’ (2009) and the darker romance of ‘Ceremonials’ (2011).
In this third studio album the 29-year-old has embraced crunching guitars and a newfound lyrical intimacy for a timeless opus only hinted at by early singles Ship to Wreck and What Kind of Man, with DIY Magazine exclaiming “‘How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful’ could well be Florence's finest hour of all."
