Florence + The Machine will hit the road for a 23-date tour through North America this fall following the June 29 release of High As Hope. The tour announcement arrives just days after the Florence Welch and company opened for the Rolling Stones in London during their No Filter tour.
The High As Hope Tour will kick off Aug. 5 in Montreal and wrap Oct. 20 Minneapolis, making notable stops at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl and New York’s Barclays Center, as well as Seattle, Nashville, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago and more.
The announcement comes complete with an impressive list of opening acts slated to open at various stops throughout the tour, including St. Vincent, Kamasi Washington, Billie Eilish, Beth Ditto, Grizzly Bear, Perfume Genius and Wet.
Speculation of the arrival of a new Florence + The Machine album began early in 2018. Their first new song of the year arrived April 12 with "Sky Full Of Song," which fueled anticipation even further. Earlier this month, the group put rumors to rest, announcing the album's title and street date, and releasing it's the first single and video in the form of the uplifting symphonic pop track, "Hunger."

The album will be Florence + The Machine's third full-length and follow up to How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, which came out three years ago today. That album received a nomination at the 58th GRAMMY Awards for Best Pop Vocal Album and reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Tickets for the High As Hope Tour go on sale Friday, June 1 at 10 a.m. local time with select pre-sale available starting May 29 12 p.m. local time via LiveNation.
