Florence + The Machine Confirms Splendour Sideshows

Exclusive shows in Melbourne and Sydney

More Florence & The Machine Florence & The Machine Profile

She is one of the headlining acts at this year's Splendour In The Grass festival and now British act Florence + The Machine has confirmed two exclusive sideshows during her trip to Australia. 

Florence Welch and her band will perform headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney for the first time since 2012 and just days before she heads to Byron Bay for the annual Splendour event. 

She will perform first at Melbourne's Palais Theatre on Wednesday, July 22 before taking to the stage the very next night at the State Theatre in Sydney on Thursday, July 23. 

Fans can expect to hear new material from the upcoming third studio album which comes out this Friday, How Big How Blue How Beautiful.

Due to the high demand of tickets for these shows, a ballot system has been established to give all fans equal access — all ballot entries must be received by midday (AEST) this Thursday, May 28. 

Successful applicants will then be notified by email after the ballot closes and will then be given the opportunity to purchase tickets between 2pm (AEST) on Friday May 29 and 2pm (AEST) on Saturday, May 30 via an exclusive link and with a unique purchase.
