SUMMARY:Florence + The Machine at Desert Diamond Arena
DESCRIPTION:South London’s Florence + the Machine blends Baroque pop\, pastoral folk\, and artful alternative rock to create a rousing sound which they debuted on 2009’s Lungs. Led by namesakes Florence Welch and Isabella “Machine” Summers\, the group broke into the mainstream on the strength of their platinum singles “Dog Days Are Over\,” “You’ve Got the Love\,” and “Shake It Out\,” which were elevated by Welch‘s powerhouse vocals. As their first three releases topped U.K. charts\, they made a steady climb in the U.S.\, hitting number six on the Billboard 200 with 2011’s Ceremonials. In 2015\, they secured their first Billboard number one with How Big\, How Blue\, How Beautiful\, which became a worldwide smash. That same year they headlined the Glastonbury Festival and returned to the Top Five of the global album charts with 2018’s High as Hope. Following non-album singles like 2019’s “Jenny of Oldstones” and 2020’s “Light of Love\,” Welch and company released 2022’s choreomania-influenced set Dance Fever. They returned in 2025 with Everybody Scream. \nFormed in 2007 by vocalist Welch and keyboardist Summers\, Florence + the Machine released their debut single\, “Kiss with a Fist\,” on the Moshi Moshi label in June 2008. Once a full band was recruited\, they signed with Island Records in November. Their critically acclaimed debut album\, Lungs\, followed in July 2009 and quickly became one of the year’s most popular releases in the U.K.\, where Florence charted four Top 40 singles in less than 12 months. The songs gathered steam in other parts of the world\, too\, particularly in America\, where the anthemic “Dog Days Are Over” peaked at number 21 and went platinum. Lungs was reissued the following year in a two-disc package entitled Between Two Lungs\, adding a bonus 12-track disc that featured live versions\, remixes by the Horrors and Yeasayer\, and Twilight soundtrack inclusion “Heavy in Your Arms.” \nIn 2010\, Florence + the Machine returned to the studio with producer Paul Epworth (Bloc Party\, Adele) to begin work on their second full-length outing. The resulting Ceremonials\, which successfully expanded on the group’s already huge sound\, arrived on Halloween in 2011. In addition to the lead single “Shake It Out\,” the chart-topping set also included “No Light\, No Light” and the Australian multi-platinum Top Three hit “Never Let Me Go.” \nThe following year saw the release of CD and DVD versions of MTV Unplugged\, an 11-track set filmed before a small studio audience that featured fan favorites along with a pair of covers\, including “Try a Little Tenderness” and the Johnny Cash/June Carter classic “Jackson\,” the latter of which featured guest vocals by Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme. That same year\, Welch announced an upcoming period of inactivity\, during which time the band crafted its next record and Welch scored a chart-topping dance hit\, “Sweet Nothing\,” with Scottish producer Calvin Harris. \nHer third studio long-player\, the Markus Dravs-produced How Big\, How Blue\, How Beautiful\, arrived in May 2015. Nominated for five Grammy Awards\, it was the band’s third consecutive number one U.K. album\, topping charts in Australia\, the U.S.\, and across Europe. A yearlong international tour and short film The Odyssey extended How Big‘s promotional cycle into 2016. \nTheir fourth effort\, High as Hope\, followed in 2018. Featuring production by Welch and Emile Haynie\, the album included the singles “Sky Full of Song\,” “Big God\,” and “Hunger.” Upon release\, it entered the Top Three across the globe. While on the road promoting the effort\, Welch issued the singles “Moderation” and “Jenny of Oldstones.” The latter track appeared on the final season of television series Game of Thrones and became a modest chart hit. \nAnother single\, “Light of Love\,” arrived in April 2020 as a charity song released in response to the COVID-19 pandemic\, with proceeds going to Britain’s Intensive Care Society. Welch also contributed the song “Call Me Cruella” to the soundtrack to Disney’s live-action 2021 film Cruella. \nThe Jack Antonoff co-produced “King” arrived in February 2022 as the first single released off the band’s fifth studio album\, Dance Fever. Antonoff joined Glass Animals‘ Dave Bayley and Kid Harpoon on production of the anthemic\, healing LP\, which also included the urgent hit singles “Free” and “My Love.” Released that May\, the album topped the U.K. Albums chart\, as well as Billboard’s Top Rock and Alternative charts\, and peaked at number seven on the Billboard 200. The band toured the album through 2023. In 2024\, Welch was joined by Jules Buckley and his Orchestra for the BBC Proms series\, performing Lungs in its entirety. \nFlorence + the Machine’s next era kicked off in 2025 with the single “Everybody Scream” from the album of the same name. That set\, their sixth studio effort\, featured input from Idles guitarist Mark Bowen\, Mitski\, and the National‘s Aaron Dessner. \n \n \nMannequin Pussy’s music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard. Across four albums\, the Philadelphia rock band that consists of Colins “Bear” Regisford (bass\, vocals)\, Kaleen Reading (drums\, percussion)\, Maxine Steen (guitar\, synths)\, and Marisa Dabice (guitar\, vocals) has made cathartic tunes about despairing times. “There’s just so much constantly going on that feels intentionally evil that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act \,” says Dabice. “The ethos of this band has always been to bring people together.” Their latest I Got Heaven\, which is out March 1 via Epitaph Records\, is the band’s most fully realized LP yet. Over 10 ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting pop\, the album is deeply concerned with desire\, the power in being alone\, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It’s a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious\, thrilling\, and wholly alive. \nFollowing the 2019 release of their critically acclaimed third album Patience\, Mannequin Pussy returned in 2021 for their EP Perfect. They toured that release relentlessly and added guitarist Maxine Steen to the band’s official lineup. Where the band members’ personal lives were in transition with breakups\, changing living situations\, and periods of self-reevaluation\, their time together on the road was a grounding and clarifying force.
