Florence and The Machine announce Cosmic Love tour
Music News | Feb 9th, 2010
Florence Welch and her band The Machine have announced US tour dates, including a show at Manhattan’s Terminal 5 on April 9th. The Universal Republic recording artist is poised to become an even bigger hit this year, especially when she takes the stage at Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA on April 18.
Florence’s acclaimed debut album Lungs, which has been hailed as a breakthrough effort around the world, recently reached the number 1 spot on the UK chart after an incredible seven consecutive-month reign in the Top 40. The album is currently number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Heatseekers Album chart. Florence has also been nominated for three Brit Awards – Best Female Artist, Best Breakthrough Artist, and Best album for the much-heralded Lungs. The tenacious artist took home a Brit Awards Critic’s Choice trophy last year, pegged as ‘one of the most exciting new artists to debut in the British music scenes in years.’ Florence and her band will perform live in a special collaboration with Dizzee Rascal at this year’s awards on February 16th at London’s Earl Court Arena. Most recently, Florence and the Machine have also been nominated for four Shockwave NME Awards.
Florence and the Machine’s debut album was produced by Paul Epworth, James Ford, and Steve Mackay, and includes the songs “Kiss With A Fist,” “Dog Days Are Over,” “Drumming Song,” “You’ve Got The Love,” and “Cosmic Love,” among others.
