Florence And The Machine – Everybody Scream At Madison Square Garden
Opening a three-day stint in New York City, Florence And The Machine (Florence Welch), opened the night with the titular song off her sixth studio album “Everybody Scream” , which came out in October 2025. The tour of the same name stayed for two nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden, the sixth stop on the North American leg of the tour with another night landing just across the river at Brooklyn’s Barclay’s Center on April 24th.
Like most of their discography it is a kind of melancholic Rock-Pop mixture that is a constant motif of Welch’s work . The performance feels like a communal incantation of old and new. The magnetic range of the vocals being integral to the show’s almost transcendent nature drawing the audenince in and under the music’s spell.
The album “Everybody Scream”, seems more slowed down catharsis. Welch’s vocals as on “The Old Religion” and “You Can’t Have it All” build up to drop the tension. The trasition between sets and are matched with bereavements such as“Music by Men”. And nods to Welch’s almost two decades-long career with “Shake It Off”, “King” and “Cosmic Love”.
During the Encore a message form Doctors Without Borders pops up during a brief intermission and instructs the audenice on how to donate. One dollar from every ticket sold goes to the charity, with both Manhattent shows sold out. DWB is an ogranization Welch and her team have partened with before, raising $700k on their High as Hope tour back in 2019, according to iheart radio. The North American tour will ends in Los Angles, California, and end on May 20th.
