Florence + The Machine will perform at Prague’s O2 Arena for the first time on March 5 next year. Led by the magical Florence Welch, they will present not only their greatest hits, but also their upcoming album Everybody Screams, which will be released on October 31.

Today, Florence Welch – also known as Florence + The Machine – announces her UK & EU tour to celebrate the release of her sixth studio album Everybody Scream, set for release on October 31. She will be bringing the magic to life across major strongholds including two nights at London’s O2 Arena, the Accord Arena in Paris and the Tauron Arena in Krakow. Florence will be joined by Paris Paloma who will be opening the shows across the eighteen dates for the Everybody Scream tour.

The album’s title track was released last week with an accompanying video directed by Autumn de Wilde. Everybody Scream was written and produced by Florence Welch over the past two years with a close-knit circle of collaborators including Mark Bowen of IDLES, who appears in the video for the single, Aaron Dessner and Mitski.

After needing lifesaving surgery on the Dance Fever Tour, Florence’s recovery took her down the path of spiritual mysticism, witchcraft and folk horror as she felt the limits of her body and explored what it means to be “healed”. The album treads through womanhood, partnership, aging and dying; exposing the murky in the mundane.

Across five albums – 2009’s Lungs, 2011’s Ceremonials, 2015’s How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, 2018’s High As Hope and 2022’s Dance Fever – Florence has become one of the most monumental artists of a generation, with multiple US and UK #1 albums and countless awards. Known for her earth-shattering live show and singular, iconic voice, Florence has sold out shows and headlined festivals the entire world over. She has collaborated and shared stages with icons – The Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift among them – and published a book of lyrics, poetry and drawings, Useless Magic.

 

Program and cast

O2 Arena Prague

The O2 arena is one of the leading facilities in Europe with a seating capacity of up to 18,000. Every year, the O2 Arena hosts dozens of attractive sporting and cultural events. It was opened in 2004 for the ice-hockey championship and since that time it has welcomed over 600,000 people every year.

 

The O2 arena is located in north-eastern Prague, approximately 10 km from the city centre. It occupies an advantageous position between the interior road ring, which provides comfortable transport from other sections of the city, and the external ring road, which allows a quick connection to the outgoing motorway and the international highway network.

 

The O2 Arena offers more than fourty spatial, functional or technical variations of the stage surface and the auditorium. At a large rock concert, the O2 arena can host up to 18,000 spectators. The latest technology available at the O2 Arena include, e.g., a giant video cube, internal TV circuit, display facades, its own TV studio, sliding stands, excellent acoustics, light park and advanced telecommunication equipment.
