Ms Welch’s 2009 debut album will get a deluxe re-release with extra tracks to mark a decade since its first issue.

It’s ten years since Florence + The Machine released their debut album Lungs. The album hit shops on 3 July 2009 and to mark the anniversary, Florence is to reissue the LP with a whole host of extra tracks on 16 August.

The band have whipped up a special collector’s box set that includes a host of unheard songs, B-sides and rarities, which include two unreleased Florence demos called My Best Dress and Donkey Kosh.
