Hold onto your flower crowns – Florence Welch is back. Today, the spellbinding frontwoman of Florence + The Machine dropped two major bombshells: a brand new album Everybody Scream (out this Halloween) and a massive UK & EU arena tour for 2026, featuring rising goth-folk star Paris Paloma as the support act.
If you’ve ever wanted to cry, dance, and be spiritually reborn under arena lights – this one’s for you.
The Album: Everybody Scream (Out 31 Oct)
In true Florence fashion, Everybody Scream is as haunting as it is heavenly. Written over the past two years during her recovery from life-saving surgery, Welch leans into spiritual mysticism, folk horror, and the blurry edge between healing and haunting. Think: séance at a music festival.
The album’s title track – already out now – features a beautifully eerie video by long-time collaborator Autumn de Wilde, with cameos from IDLES’ Mark Bowen. Florence also linked up with indie heroes Aaron Dessner and Mitski in the studio, promising a lush, layered sound that explores womanhood, mortality, and the fine line between devotion and destruction.
Basically, it’s giving witchcore but make it existential.
The Everybody Scream Tour: Dates, Cities & What To Expect
Florence’s sixth album will come to life across 18 dates in February and March 2026, with shows in the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and beyond. As always, you can expect theatrical staging, celestial vocals, and the kind of crowd energy that feels part-revival, part-rave.

Paris Paloma Is Supporting
Joining Florence on all dates is Labour breakout Paris Paloma. With her dark poetic lyrics and baroque pop energy, she’s the perfect opener to ease fans into Florence’s emotional hurricane. If you’re unfamiliar, think Hozier meets Lana, then drapes herself in medieval lace.
It’s a clever pairing – two generations of emotionally feral women on one stage? We’ll be needing waterproof mascara and sage.

Why Everybody Scream Feels Like A Full-Circle Florence Moment
Florence Welch has always blurred the lines between the ethereal and the earthly. But this era feels particularly personal – from the recovery from physical trauma to diving headfirst into themes of ageing, love, death and folklore. It’s giving Ceremonials drama with Dance Fever darkness.
And with her legacy already cemented – 5 studio albums, multiple chart-toppers, and a cult-like fanbase – Everybody Scream might just be her most intimate exorcism yet.
Whether you’re a long-time Florence fan or newly inducted into her whimsical world, this tour promises an unmissable mix of myth, magic, and heartbreak. The countdown begins now – and frankly, we can’t wait to scream with her.
