Florence is coming...

March 12th, SECC, Glasgow - brace yourself. The first time I seen the mighty Florence and The Machine was at T in The Park 09'. Stumbling in the direction towards a different stage myself and a group of friends suddenly  realised that Florence Welch was about to make her debut at T' in a much smaller tent. The festival was coming to an end and we had to make the decision; whilst largely under the influence, which act we would chose to spend our closing night with. Thankfully, we sided with Florence...


The flaming red head demanded attention as she whirled up and down the stage as we stared on  in awe of this goddess. The music provided by 'The Machine' which accompanied Welch's earth shattering vocals, genuinely struck at the core of every individual. Since that evening I have waited patiently to witness this force of nature once again.


After the success of Florence's debut album 'Lungs' which gained massive success internationally, she has now returned with the number one follow up album 'Ceremonials'. To accompany the bands mammoth achievements, they have stepped up a gear in regards to touring. Leaving behind the o2 venues and ageing theatres up and down the country, Welch and her band are setting off on a full arena tour of the UK which includes Glasgow's SECC on March 12th. 

It is common opinion that once you have experienced a band on a smaller, intimate scale, when they eventually take on the larger venues the fail to maintain the same connection and atmosphere. I genuinely cannot imagine Florence Welch's atomic presence fading against the scale of a venue. However, we will have to wait and see. If you have any sense, get tickets for this event and sit back and enjoy an empowering female at the top of her game.

Catch Florence on tour here!
