Eilish and Florence Welch’s band are also performed by David Guetta and Sam Fender. Other confirmed names include YungbludFoals, Niall Horan, Jamie xx, M83 and Nothing But Thieves.
At the end of last month, Florence + The Machine have announced rescheduled dates for their postponed UK and Ireland tour. The alternative pop icons were forced to cut short their 2022 gig series earlier this month after Welch broke his foot on stage during a show at The O2 in London.
In a statement on social media, Welch shared that she unknowingly played the gig with the injury. “Please save your tickets. We are working our best to reschedule these dates for next year and will let you know as soon as possible,” she wrote at the time.
Earlier in November, it was announced that Florence + The Machine and former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher are confirmed to headline the Directors Festival in Newquay, Cornwall, August 9-13, 2023. Other artists announced for the event – which is also a surf festival – include Little Simz, Four Tet, Bob Vylan and Example. The festival, which usually attracts around 50,000 people, is held at Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach.
Back in October, Florence + the machine unveiled a new remix from “Paradise is Here” from IDLES. “IDLES are one of my favorite bands and I’ve wanted to work on something together for a while,” said Florence Welch.
“It may be strange for people to think, but I see a lot of symbiosis in what we do in terms of live performances. Connection above all. Joyful rage and togetherness. Is Here” is longer. And I think IDLES has done the perfect job of making it a much-requested dance floor that doesn’t lose any of the hexagon at its heart.
