The Dance Fever outfit will now play their live dates in January and February after Florence Welch sustained a foot injury. Get the full dates here.
Florence + The Machine have announced their newly rescheduled UK dates for 2023.

Now, the band have taken to social media to share new dates, with Welch writing: "Thank you so much for everyone’s kindness and understanding. See you very soon. F"
She added in the comments: "All bookings for the original dates remain valid for the rescheduled shows. If unfortunately you are unable to attend for any reason a refund is available from your point of purchase."

Taking to Instagram to announce the bad news after their gig at The O2 London 18th November, the King singer wrote: "I’m so sorry to say that after an X ray it seems I was dancing on a broken foot last night.
"It is not in my nature to postpone a show, and certainly not a UK tour, but I’m in pain and as dancers know, dancing on an injury is not a good idea. And have been told not to perform to avoid further damage."
