Florence + The Machine performed very good and worth the admitting price.
The opening acts were decent, although I did not know them, and i enjoyed their performances too.
The down side was the organization of the event:
- toilets extremely underestimated: i positioned myself quite far from the stage and i had a large view on the event site... before Florence+TM show there were, constantly multiple queues long from 40 to ... 70? 80? (eventually even longer) meters long queues to reach the toilets. I was about 40 meters away from one of the toilets post... and ther was constantly a queue in fron of me... and it was one of three directed to the same place...
- Beverage and food was better but from 19:30 you had to put yourself in a 30 mts long queue to pay for something... and the to a slightly less long queue to get what you paid for...
- the sound was just fair, too much "bass oriented"... something very useless for an act as Florence+TM, that produced some very muddy sound at some points when the opening acts perdfored
In detail: 5 stars to Florence+TM, 4.5 to Sudan Archives and Foals, each... 2 stars to the event management: (5+4.5+4.5+2=16, Average of 16 on 4 judgments: 4)
Lesson learnt:
1) you can organize awfully an event, just invite good acts...
2) do not buy tickets for events with an awful organization, despite the value of the performers1

It was perfect. Florence just lays out her soul in a marvelous production and wholeheartedly gives her love to the audience who loves her just as much. Words cannot begin to describe how much we missed live shows and Florence's is a brave and true example of that. Please take care of your feet Florence, we'll love you just as you are even if you're resting 💖

The show was spectatular from the opening act Japanese Breakfast to F&TM. Florence is a magnificent preformer. The band is fabulous. The stage & set were great and perfectly suited for F&TM. She did most of the tracks from Dance Fever and many other favorites. Florence had great rapport with the audience. This was my first time seeing them perform, and the experience soidified F&TM as one of my favorite bands. If another opportunity arises to see them perform, I'll be there.

From the first note to the last, Florence has the performance strength , stamina and grace of an ocean.
The machine behind her like a ship being blown in chaotic beauty on the verge of heartbreak and catastrophe but somehow soaring in defiance and hope ! Great set, great lighting, amazing energy and crowd connectivity. Beautiful fan interactions.
See them once and you will “never let them go”
Too much - I think not.
Incredible artistry.

Fantastic! Florence is always a delight, a heavenly body on earth. The band was soo incredible to hear. Even the minute details like the drums mimicking as a heartbeat, the absolute enchantment that the audience was under to go from uproar to stunning silence upon request… thank you Bandsintown and thank you to Global Citizen for allowing me such an experience. The best kind of birthday present.

The show was amazing! Florence was terrific, and really connected with the audience. My 21 year old daughter told me the show was life changing for her, and even became overcome with emotion at the end.
The only draw back was the second opening act. This band seemed out of place with the general atmosphere of the concert, and went on way too long. It seems that the opening acts were added at the last minute, as the one originally billed was not there. The first was ok, and seemed to really appreciate the enormity of being there, but the second, not so much.
Otherwise the concert was terrific and we were really happy that we were able to attend. We love Florence and the machine and all of her amazing fans. She is truly a gem.

Ohne Worte !!!
Florence ist eine wundervolle Frau mit einer begnadeten Stimme !!! Ich habe schon sehr viele Konzerte von verschiedenen Akts gesehen,aber das war das schönste.Diese tolle Frau läuft wie eine Engel in ihrem langen Kleid über die Bühne und bringt alle Fans zum träumen.Dann eine leise zarte fast schüchterne Stimme die uns begrüßt und sich bei uns entschuldigt für ihre damaligen Eskapaden im Suff.Gleichzeitig bedanke sie sich bei uns für unsere Treue.
Einfach Klasse!! Diese tolle kraftvolle Stimme,ob sanft oder rockig. Einfach wundervoll !!
Florence " I Love you "

It was magical. Singing in front of the arena. Shareing impressions before the show. Than the warm up. Impressive arena. The acoustic sound is amazing. And the show finally. Florence seemed like out of this world. Grace. Etheral beauty. Her voice served her well. The presence at the stage was top notch. The band was amazing. Really enjoyed the show. My hear was full. Even had a sneak to take the picture of Rob. When she kicked in with What kind of man we started banging like crazy. Moderation was such a surprise. Can't wait for concert in Galatsi 🇬🇷🌠 the world needs artists like these

I dont usually listen to this kind of music but she played after someone at Voodoo fest around 2013 and was so fun with a beautiful voice and I fell in love. I have seen her now 2 other times and last night I teared up 3x, her voice is so damn beautiful and it just touches me. I get goosebumps on my arms and legs, it's unexplainable , she is like an angel. I am so glad we went, my boyfriend wasnt looking forward to it and now he is her biggest fan. She spins around and runs and sings like a goddess and I guarantee anyone who saw a show would be a fan. The lyrics are great, its just different from anyone else. Her voice is hands down the best female singing voice that has ever been. Go see her!

Florence and the Machine were great, warmup act (Blood Orange?) was not to my taste. Biggest gripe is that people constantly stood so that if I sat, I couldn't see anything. Thankfully I am healthy and can stand for a long time, but what is the point of buying a seat when you can't sit down without missing the show?
Again, Florence and the Machine were great! Do not regret going!

My amazing wife took me to see Florence for her 2nd night at Red Rocks for our anniversary. I've been wanting to see her live for a few years now. Florence and co were fantastic!!! Her voice is absolutely amazing even in near freezing temperatures. She was still able to belt out her awesome voice even while shivering. Thank you Florence for an awesome show and thank you, my beautiful wife, for taking me.
Denver, CO@Red Rocks Amphitheatre
W O W! That was just one of the most beautiful things ever! I‘ve been to many concerts before and I also saw Florence + The Machine once, but this one was definitely a night to remember.
Florence stage presence, the band and the amazing crowd created an uneblievable atmosphere full of energy in the hall and even without hits like „You‘ve Got The Love“, „Spectrum“ or my personal favorite „What The Water Gave Me“ the concert was just perfect.
I also really loved the wonderful stage design and the great opening band „Young Fathers“.

Marlon williams out there reping new zealand the right way. his vampire dance was definitely one of a kind, not sure was he doing.. no one knows but it was hilarious. When Florence finally made her appearance she had a gorgeous dress on that made her look like an actual angel. When she was singing she was so energetic it was like another person, how did she not get puffed from running across the stage back and forth like Mowgli? The staging was top notch and the drummer was beautiful, i liked his man-bob it looked good with the pink drumset. Overall good show, ashame it was 37° degrees because it was VERY hot and uncomfortable (thank god for the security guys hosing us it was very refreshing) the crowd wasnt very enthusiastic I was a bit disappointed (lets just blame it on the heat). I’ll just insert a nice photo of marlon in his very short shorts. Enjoy.

The ticket office should of stated once ticket holders left front of stage area, security weren’t letting (ticket holders) back into that area unless they were wearing a lanyard — also throughout the night security were quite aggressive — but it was an amazing concert Florence and the Machine, Marlon Williams (we were in our ticketed area for Marlon Williams) and went to grab food and beverages before Leon Bridges went on but couldn’t get back into the area but each act were amazing and the screens in the park area were welcomed ♥️ lesson learned re: if we have front GA tickets in future basically get food and drinks before initially arriving into that area and then hope to god you don’t need a bathroom break

The only concert i had ever seen before Florence was Katy Perry back in 2014/15 back when I liked pop and such, and this Florence concert was my second. I came up to Minneapolis to visit my sister and it so happened that this concert was happening too so we got tickets since my sister loved Florence. I had only heard about 2 of the “High as Hope” songs before I went so I didn’t really know what to expect. Her show was SO amazing. The way the stage looked, the way she just danced around, and all the songs just made the concert so amazing!! I would definitely go to another show of hers.
Minneapolis, MN@Target Center
I’ve been a fan for a while, but I’ve never been to a concert of hers. I have to say, in complete honesty- I had crappy seats, and even so, this was the best show I’ve ever attended (and I’ve seen my favorite band play like 6 times in the pit) in my entire life.
She was such a sweetheart, the energy and love in the room was so moving that I actually cried like twice. I’ve never seen anyone control a crowd like she did, and she was so genuine. I was completely moved last night, and it’s a new rule that every time she comes to town, I’m going to purchase tickets.

I just saw Florence + the Machine at Anthem in D.C.! If you’ve ever seen her live, enough said. If you haven’t, it’s a real treat! This beautifully red-haired sprite (I looked it up) really loves her fans and it shows. As well as running, dancing, twirling and jumping almost the whole time(watch the videos) she just exudes love and peace the whole show. I feel she must be physically and emotionally exhausted after the show with what she’s putting out. Smiling and talking between songs she invites the crowd to 1)hold hands with the person next to you, 2)tell a stranger you love them and 3)before the song “Patricia”, “if you’re feeling low, hang on;if you’re feeling below ground it’s because you’re getting ready to bloom!” You leave the show feeling uplifted. If I were rich, I’d come back and see the same show tonight. Beth Ditto opened with a LOT of soul.

opener = awesome!
Florence and the machine = amazing!
The anthem = love it!
audience = worst I've ever shared with! this group of young, drunk, obnoxious people nearly ruined my night with their dumb tambourine, a poster/sign blocking our view, and attitudes like we were all there for them, not the show. they were loud and awful...even watched and yelled for a baseball game during the performance. and, when someone would ask them to take others into consideration, they would cuss and yell at them ... they were just awful!

This was for my best friend's birthday. Ever since I had known her we wanted to go to a concert of Florence and the Machine, it is her favorite band and I became fond of the music. So the minute the tickets went on sale I bought the tickets as a birthday gift. Once we got there it was pretty nice, we got floor tickets, and before the start we got our merch, pretty standard wait time not too bad with traditional concert prices. Being on the floor of the AA center was pretty cool, the opener, Grimes, was quite an interesting band. It was really the first time I had ever seen a band that is based solely on electronic music. It was pretty cool. I would say a combination of k-pop and electronic sort of, however with her high singing voice, when you hear her scream in the middle of the songs you are taken off guard. Nice music, really more EDM and awesome stage presence with cool light show. They had about an hour of set time.After a little 30 minute break, Florence came on stage, a little early too!! First song was "what the water gave me" and in the middle of the song she leapt off the stage and ran to the back of the crowd on the ground floor and stood on the sound booth sort of thing. It was great considering I'm short and had to stand in the back to get a good view of the stage. So without being up in the very front I got to see her super up close!! It was fantastic. Great show overall, but I found it a bit short compared to other concerts I attended, an hour and 45 mins but still kinda short. She sounds exactly like what you hear on the radio and she dances around and gets really into the music and the audience. Amazing stage presence from her and the music was fantastic, nothing too fancy on visuals but still great show. If you are a huge fan or somebody who really enjoys her music from time to time, if you can, go see her.
Dallas, TX@American Airlines Center
Going to go see her was worth every penny. My friend and I got seats but it made me regret it because I wanted to be in the crowd. She trusts her fans enough to get close to them and sing in their face!!! She even ran around the GA floor to the back, close to where we were sitting. It was simply moving and electrifying to watch her.
