About Florence + the Machine

Florence Welch started Florence + the Machine as a solo project in the mid-2000s before expanding into a full band. The project built momentum through early UK club dates, landing a deal with Island Records and releasing the raw, sprawling debut 'Lungs' in 2008. That album introduced the kind of orchestral pop-rock framing that would define her work—dramatic strings, massive drums, and Welch's voice pushing into unusual registers. 'Shake It Out' from 'Ceremonials' became the kind of song that soundtracks movie trailers and weddings. She's never been content with just being a pop singer though, gravitating toward production that feels intentionally ungainly, sometimes overloaded. Recent work like 'High as Hope' stripped things back, letting her arrangements breathe more. Her voice remains the constant—powerful without trying to prove anything, capable of both whisper and wail depending on what the song needs.

Florence's shows are physically demanding for everyone involved. The crowd moves like they're being pulled toward the stage. Her voice is exact live, no shortcuts. The band locks in hard. She runs around. People sing every word back at her, even the deep cuts.

Known for Dog Days Are Over, Shake It Out, Cosmic Love, You've Got the Love, Ship to Wreck

Florence + the Machine + Minneapolis

Florence + the Machine played Xcel Energy Center in Minneapolis on September 8, 2022, running through 23 songs on the Dance Fever tour. They opened with Heaven Is Here and King, hit the new material hard with Daffodil, Girls Against God, Dream Girl Evil, and Big God, and balanced it with Dog Days Are Over and Cosmic Love. Prayer Factory and Cassandra were highlights, and Choreomania had the arena moving. Morning Elvis provided a quiet moment before the intensity returned. The encore of Never Let Me Go, Shake It Out, and Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) closed things out.

Live Music in Minneapolis

Minneapolis has a deep bench of artists who blur genre lines the way Florence does—Prince obviously, but also the theatrical experimentalism you hear in Dessa or Har Mar Superstar. The city's music community leans into drama and production value, favoring artists who treat pop music as legitimate art. That sensibility aligns with Florence's maximalist approach to songwriting and her refusal to keep things small or safe.

Minneapolis road trip to see Florence + the Machine?

Stay in the Northeast Minneapolis arts district—it's where the city's creative energy actually lives, with galleries, vintage shops, and the Mississippi River nearby. Eat at Café Alma in the same neighborhood for restrained, high-quality Italian cooking. Spend an afternoon at the Walker Art Center, which sits on a rise overlooking downtown and has genuine landscape appeal. Grab coffee at Spyhouse, a roaster that takes itself seriously without the performative nonsense. The Stone Arch Bridge is worth a walk if the weather cooperates.
