Florence And The Machine have released a new live album, 'Dance Fever (Live At Madison Square Garden)'.
As the title suggests, it was recorded during the band's two sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City this September.
Songs featured include live versions of tracks from their latest album, 'Dance Fever', such as Free and King, along with fan favourites Shake It Out, Big God, Cosmic Love, and their debut single Kiss With A Fist. Vocalist Florence Welch said:
"For an album that was so much about performance, the possession of it, the love-hate relationship with life on the road. And the ensuing grief when I thought it may never happen again. To get out to perform these songs has been the most extraordinary experience. The connection with the audience and the catharsis is at a level I have never experienced before.
"Maybe it’s because we all missed it so much. But people are bringing so much of themselves to these shows, I wanted to have a memory of 'Dance Fever' live. As a testament to this time, and a full circle moment. For an album so much about the loss of live music. To have a recording of the return means so much to me."
The 24-track release is currently available via streaming services, with a vinyl edition scheduled to arrive on April 14, 2023. Press play below.
Florence And The Machine will wrap up their North American tour with two dates at Los Angeles's Hollywood Bowl today and tomorrow (October 14 and 15). They'll return to the UK in November for an arena tour, before shows in Australia and New Zealand in March 2023. They also have Irish gigs in the diary for next summer.
