Florence + The Machine add Irish and Scottish dates to 2026 tour

Florence + The Machine have announced additional Irish and Scottish dates for their Everybody Scream 2026 tour, expanding what’s already one of next year’s biggest arena runs.

The new shows include Thomond Park in Limerick on 27th June, Marlay Park in Dublin on 28th June, and a headline slot at Edinburgh Summer Sessions on 24th August.

The new dates are announced as Ms Welch gear up to release Everybody Scream, her sixth studio album, on 31st October. The album was written and produced by Welch over the past two years with Danny L. Harle, Aaron Dessner, Mark Bowen (of IDLES) and Mitski. The album’s latest single, ‘Sympathy Magic’, was unveiled this week alongside a video directed by longtime collaborator Autumn de Wilde (give it a spin below).

In Ireland, Florence will be joined by Rachel Chinouriri as support for both Limerick and Dublin. In Edinburgh, Self Esteem and Jacob Alon will open before Paris Paloma joins for the remaining European and UK tour dates.

Everybody Scream follows 2022’s Dance Fever and continues Welch’s exploration of spirituality, mortality and the physical limits of the body, with the record being forged in the aftermath of lifesaving surgery. She has described the creative process as one of “spiritual mysticism, witchcraft and folk horror”.

Across her career, Welch has built a reputation as one of Britain’s most commanding performers. Since her 2009 debut Lungs, she’s dropped five UK and US number one albums and headlined major festivals worldwide. Her work with The Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift, as well as her book of poetry and lyrics Useless Magic, has established her as an artist above and beyond genre.

The Everybody Scream tour begins in February 2026 with arena shows in Belfast, Birmingham, Glasgow, London and Manchester before moving through Europe. The newly announced summer dates extend the tour into June and August, with some of the largest outdoor venues of Florence’s career so far.

Tickets for the new shows go on sale soon. Everybody Scream is released on Halloween.
