Florence + The Machine announce Manchester date on massive arena tour

Florence + The Machine will play a massive gig in Manchester this autumn as part of a nationwide arena tour.

The group, fronted by Florence Welch, have announced details of a new tour in support of her upcoming album Dance Party.

A short run of intimate UK shows sold out in mere minutes earlier this week.

The larger arena tour will visit the UK, Ireland and France, including a date at the AO Arena Manchester.

£1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the charity Choose Love, which helps refugees and displaced people with everything from transport to legal advice.

Florence + The Machine has been behind some of the biggest songs of the last decade, including You Got The Love (and You Got The Dirtee Love, in collaboration with Dizzee Rascal), Spectrum (Say My Name), and Shake It Out.

Dance Party will be her fifth studio album, and is due for release on 13 May.

The tour of the same name will kick off in Paris on 14 November and will go on to include two nights at The O2 in London.
