Remove ads
The Ceremonials Tour was the second concert tour by the English indie rock band Florence and the Machine. The tour included performances at music festivals because it is lead singer Florence Welch's favourite way to perform live.[1] Welch had originally planned to spend over a year touring for Ceremonials (their previous tour lasted almost three and a half years)[2] before announcing that the December 2012 dates would be the final performances of the tour.[3] On 25 February 2013, it was announced that Florence and the Machine would be playing at the Coke Live Music Festival in Poland on 10 August 2013,[4] and, on 26 March 2013, it was announced that the band would be playing at Chime for Change's "The Sound of Change Live" concert at Twickenham Stadium in London alongside Beyoncé, Ellie Goulding and Haim, amongst others.[5]
The Ceremonials Tour was a critical and commercial success. Pollstar announced that it was the 40th best-selling tour in the world in 2012 having earned $31.8 million worldwide and having sold 618,436 tickets.[6] Paste magazine ranked the tour the seventh best tour of 2012.[7]
