Florence + the Machine announce biggest Irish outdoor gigs yet

Florence + the Machine are pleased to return to Dublin, Cork and Belfast to play their largest ever Irish shows.

Ahead of a sold out show at 3Arena on November 30th with Willie J Healy as special guest, the English indie-pop titans will return to Ireland this summer for outdoor concerts at Cork’s Musgrave Park on June 26th and Dublin’s Malahide Castle on June 27th, 2023.

Florence + the Machine are also slated to perform at Belsonic, Ormeau Park on Wednesday June 28th, 2023. Tickets €59.90 including booking fee go on sale this Thursday at 9am.

The massively popular outfit released their fifth studio album, Dance Fever in May of this year to critical acclaim. Produced by Florence Welch, Jack Antonoff and Dave Bayley, Dance Fever is the album that brings back the very best of Florence.

"The move pays off to stunning effect on a series of indie-dance gems, including ‘My Love’, ‘King’, ‘Choreomania’ and ‘Free’," Hot Press wrote in our verdict. "Blending baroque-pop with folk textures, Dance Fever brilliantly tackles themes of joy, fury and grief. Equally influenced by ‘70s Iggy Pop and Lucinda Williams, it’s perhaps Florence’s most eclectic offering yet."

Since their debut in 2009, the band has garnered an impressive following, collecting countless awards and nominations as they ascended to indie stardom.

Lungs, their first studio album, won the British Album of the Year Brit award in 2010, with the group securing the Critics Choice Brit the previous year. Since then, they've accumulated accolades across categories and across the world.
