Been waiting patiently for Florence and the Machine to announce a full tour? Well, the time has finally arrived. On Monday (Jan. 11), the English group unveiled that they will be hitting the road this year for a world tour. The trek will be name “The How Beautiful Tour” and finds the group visiting several countries in a four-month span. The trek will officially kick off on March 10 at the Festival Estereo Picnic in Bogota, Colombia and wrap up on July 3 at the Rock Werchter Festival in Werchter, Belgium.
During those four months, the band will make a month-long stop in North America. The North American portion of the tour will begin on May 13 at the American Airlines Arena in our hometown of Miami. After a little more than a month, the North American leg will wrap up on June 17 with Florence and the Machine performing at the annual Firefly Music Festival in Dover, DE. For seven of the 17 tour stops, Grimes will act as the opening act for the group while for six of those other dates, Of Monsters and Men will open up for Florence and company.
