Further stops on the headlining tour include two nights at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl and Washington, D.C.'s The Anthem as well as New York's Barclays Center, and more. Tickets are on sale now, visit florenceandthemachine.net for more information.
High as Hope was co-produced by Florence and Emile Haynie and features contributions from Kamasi Washington, Sampha, Tobias Jesso Jr, Kelsey Lu, Jamie xx and Thomas Barlett, the album includes "Hunger," "Big God" and "Sky Full of Song."
"This time around, her voice is stronger than ever..."-The New York Times
"High As Hope preserves Florence's big, torrential melodrama, but it feels less like a storm than the soft light breaking in afterward amid the sober awe of a new day...Her solitude proffers a source of power, a confidence in her ability to express herself on her own."-NPR
"The ethereal Florence Welch is still spine-chilling in an eccentric new bundle of distinctly anthemic tracks that will have you, too, cooing haikus up to the sky."-Entertainment Weekly
"The most rewarding Florence and the Machine full-length yet...Florence Welch possesses a supernatural voice-the kind that can summon long-buried ghosts, and then obliterate them fully with a gale-force roar."-SPIN
"Intent upon inspiring listeners to dare to dream and to fight through the crushing gravity of the times, to love and cherish each other."-New York Magazine's Vulture
