Why was Florence + the Machine’s Dance Fever tour rescheduled?

The band’s run of UK and Ireland shows were due to take place during November 2022. However after kicking off the tour at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, Florence Welch broke her foot during a concert at The O2 arena in London.

In a post on Instagram at the time, she wrote: “I’m so sorry to say that after an X ray it seems I was dancing on a broken foot last night. It is not in my nature to postpone a show, and certainly not a UK tour, but I’m in pain and as dancers know, dancing on an injury is not a good idea.

“And have been told not to perform to avoid further damage. Please hang on to your tickets. We are working our hardest to reschedule these dates for next year and we will let you know as soon as possible.

“I’m heartbroken as the Dance Fever tour has been my favourite show we have ever put on. The communion with you. Your beautiful faces shining. I love you so much, and I’m so sorry to anyone who is disappointed. My heart is aching. I can’t wait to be back on my feet and back in your arms.”

The tour will resume in January 2023 and run through to February. Tickets for the original tour are valid for the rescheduled shows.
