FLORENCE + THE MACHINE ANNOUNCES HEADLINE SHOWS AT THE O2
Today, Florence Welch – also known as Florence + The Machine – announces two headline shows at The O2 in celebration of the release of her sixth studio album Everybody Scream, with the shows taking place on Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 February 2026.
Priority Tickets are available to O2 and Virgin Media customers at https://priority.o2.co.uk/ from 10am on Wednesday 3 September and go on general sale at 10am on Friday 5 September via www.theo2.co.uk.
Everybody Scream is set for release on 31 October 2025. 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.
