Florence + the Machine Unveil Major 2026 'Everybody Scream' World Tour
Indie rock powerhouse Florence + the Machine are preparing to launch their highly anticipated 2026 'Everybody Scream' world tour, marking their return to major live performances following the successful Dance Fever era. The tour celebrates the band's sixth studio album, 'Everybody Scream', which was released to critical acclaim on October 31, 2025.
Tour Structure and Musical Direction
The ambitious tour encompasses three distinct legs across the UK, Europe and North America, with additional special outdoor performances scheduled for summer 2026. At the heart of the musical project remains frontwoman Florence Welch, whose distinctive vocals, percussion work and songwriting continue to define the band's sound. She is supported by the current core lineup including Isabella 'Machine' Summers on keyboards and backing vocals, Robert Ackroyd on lead guitar, Tom Monger on harp, Cyrus Bayandor on bass, Aku Orraca-Tetteh on percussion, Dionne Douglas on violin, and Loren Humphrey on drums.
While official setlists remain under wraps, fans can expect a compelling blend of new material from the 'Everybody Scream' album - including tracks like "Everybody Scream," "One of the Greats," and "Sympathy Magic" - alongside beloved classics from the band's extensive catalogue. Performances are anticipated to maintain Welch's signature theatrical and emotionally charged style, complemented by elaborate visual productions and sophisticated stagecraft.

Ticket Information and Fan Response
Ticket sales for the tour commenced with UK and Europe presales in early September 2025, followed by general sales beginning September 5, 2025 through Ticketmaster and other major platforms. North American presales started in early November 2025 with public sales following shortly thereafter. Some cities implemented ticket limits, such as the four-ticket maximum per person for London shows, and several dates sold out rapidly, leading to active resale markets for many European performances.
Ticket pricing varies significantly depending on seating arrangements, standing areas and exclusive VIP packages. Fan response to the 'Everybody Scream' album has been overwhelmingly positive, with one Reddit user commenting: "Kinda think it's one of her best. Raw and sad and angry and unflinching. Love every bit of it." Another fan echoed this sentiment, stating: "Huge fan. The chamber editions of the 4 songs are fantastic."
This extensive world tour represents a significant milestone for Florence + the Machine, combining their established theatrical performance style with new musical directions from their latest album release, promising an unforgettable experience for audiences across multiple continents.
