Florence and The Machine at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island

From simple beginnings as a collaboration between vocalist Florence Welch and keyboardist Isabella Summers, English rock band Florence and the Machine is now a chart-topping global sensation. Formed in the mid-2000s, the duo soon became a larger band, releasing its debut album Lungs in 2009 to critical and commercial success, holding the number two position on the UK Albums Chart for its first five weeks before eventually reaching the top spot. The album was one of the best-selling albums of both 2009 and 2010 in the United Kingdom, having charted in the top forty for sixty-five consecutive weeks. The band's follow-up albums, Ceremonials (2011), How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (2015) and High As Hope (2018), have continued their success, reaching the top ten in several countries around the world.
