Florence + The Machine are locking in a major run of arena shows in Germany as part of their Everybody Scream world tour in 2026. According to German media reports and venue listings, the band will play Cologne, Munich and Berlin between February 26 and March 9, 2026, under the banner of The Everybody Scream Tour, in support of their sixth studio album released in late 2025.
German dates for the Everybody Scream Tour
The strongest anchor for German fans is the trio of arena concerts confirmed for early 2026. Outlets such as Musikexpress and Reflections of Darkness, along with ticket platform Ticketstart, list three shows: February 26, 2026 at Lanxess Arena in Cologne, March 4, 2026 at Olympiahalle in Munich and March 9, 2026 at Uber Arena in Berlin, all branded as part of The Everybody Scream Tour and tied to the new album cycle. A detailed preview on Reflections of Darkness summarizes these dates and venues for the German leg.
Berlin’s official events portal Berlin.de and the Uber Arena’s own event page further confirm the Berlin show. Berlin.de describes The Everybody Scream Tour with a German runtime from February 26 to March 9, 2026 and highlights that three dates are planned in Germany, while the Uber Arena listing specifies March 9, 2026 at 7:30 p.m., doors at 6:00 p.m., with Florence + The Machine performing as part of The Everybody Scream Tour. Together, these venue-level sources cement Cologne, Munich and Berlin as the key German anchors of the wider 2026 touring campaign.
European and North American route in 2026
The German shows sit inside an extensive schedule that takes Florence + The Machine across Europe and North America across much of 2026. A tour overview published by UK and international music media outlines a European leg that begins on February 6, 2026 in Belfast at SSE Arena, continues through major UK arenas like Birmingham’s bp pulse Live, Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, Newcastle’s Utilita Arena, Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena, Sheffield’s Utilita Arena and two nights at The O2 in London, before heading to Paris’ Accor Arena, Antwerp’s Sportpaleis and Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome.
From there, the band move into continental Europe beyond Germany, with dates such as Vienna’s Wiener Stadthalle on March 2, Prague’s O2 Arena on March 5 and Kraków’s Tauron Arena on March 7, followed by the March 9, 2026 show at Berlin’s Uber Arena. Additional route information collated by live-listing platforms shows a North American leg starting April 8, 2026 at Target Center in Minneapolis, taking in arenas like Allstate Arena near Chicago, Bell Centre in Montreal, Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Capital One Arena in Washington, TD Garden in Boston, Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center in New York City, as well as stops at large venues in Philadelphia, Tampa, Miami, Atlanta, Nashville, Austin, Houston, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and two final nights at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
Beyond these core arena runs, festival listings for 2026 indicate that Florence + The Machine are booked for several major European festivals later in the year. Live-event calendars show appearances at Flow Festival in Helsinki, at Sziget Festival in Budapest on multiple days in mid-August, at Edinburgh Summer Sessions on August 24, 2026 and at Reading and Leeds Festival at the end of August 2026. This means that after the spring arena legs, the band pivot into a festival-heavy summer schedule across Europe.

Everybody Scream – album context for the tour
The 2026 tour is built around Florence + The Machine’s sixth studio album Everybody Scream, released on October 31, 2025 via Polydor Records. A label-aligned news site and industry PR describe the band’s line-up for this cycle as Florence Welch on vocals, Isabella Summers on keyboards, Robert Ackroyd on guitar, Tom Monger on harp, Cyrus Bayandor on bass, Aku Orraca-Tetteh on percussion, Dionne Douglas on violin and Loren Humphrey on drums, underscoring that Florence + The Machine remain a full ensemble rather than a purely solo project.
Pre-release announcements in August and October 2025 outlined the basic shape of the record. The album features singles Everybody Scream and One of the Greats, written and produced with longtime collaborators including Mark Bowen of IDLES, Aaron Dessner and Mitski. The official Florence + The Machine online store lists the tracklist for the standard CD edition as twelve songs, from the title track through cuts like Witch Dance, Sympathy Magic, Buckle, Kraken, The Old Religion, Drink Deep, Music by Men, You Can Have It All and closing song And Love, with some formats adding bonus chamber versions.
Critics writing in early 2026 have framed Everybody Scream as a continuation and intensification of Florence Welch’s blend of baroque pop, art rock and modern alternative rock. One review from April 2026 for a North American arts and music outlet calls the record “a brilliant 2025 album” and describes the world tour as an attempt to make musical sense of a fraught political moment, noting that Welch’s lyrics carry a cri de coeur quality. In that reading, the upcoming arena shows in Germany are not just another run of dates but part of a larger narrative where Florence + The Machine use gothic pop and theatrical staging to channel collective anxiety into catharsis.
Streaming numbers and catalogue impact
Even before Everybody Scream fully cycles through the touring year, Florence + The Machine’s catalogue continues to perform strongly on streaming platforms. Data aggregated by streaming-analytics site Kworb for Spotify, updated in mid-August 2026, show roughly 9.5 billion total streams for the Florence + The Machine catalogue, with about 8.8 billion of those accumulated on tracks where the band is the lead artist. Daily plays at that point sit at just over 3 million streams across 245 tracks.
Signature song Dog Days Are Over leads the pack with around 1.57 billion lifetime streams and close to 780,000 daily streams in the August 2026 snapshot. Other key catalogue entries such as You’ve Got The Love, Shake It Out, Spectrum (Say My Name), Cosmic Love, Ship To Wreck and Hunger are all above 170 million streams, illustrating that the band’s 2010s albums remain heavily consumed alongside newer material. A notable context detail is that even deep cuts like Buckle from Everybody Scream already appear in the streaming statistics, pointing to fans engaging beyond just the singles.
From a German perspective, Florence + The Machine’s streaming and chart presence is also visible through platform-specific rankings, even if concrete GfK / Offizielle Deutsche Charts positions for Everybody Scream are less prominently documented than their UK history. Streaming charts show that older Florence + The Machine songs such as Dog Days Are Over and You’ve Got The Love continue to appear in German and broader European Spotify rankings, and this sustained consumption is one reason why promoters are confident booking arena capacities in Cologne, Munich and Berlin for the 2026 tour leg.
The musical core of Florence + The Machine
Florence + The Machine operate at the intersection of indie rock, baroque pop and art rock, combining orchestral arrangements with robust rhythm sections and Florence Welch’s powerful, often dramatic voice. Over albums like Lungs (2009), Ceremonials (2011), How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (2015), High As Hope (2018), Dance Fever (2022) and now Everybody Scream (2025), the band have cultivated a distinctive sound built on harp textures, choir-like backing vocals and dynamic builds from hushed verses to explosive choruses.
In the Everybody Scream period, that core aesthetic is sharpened and darkened. Collaborations with figures like Aaron Dessner and Mitski bring in elements from contemporary indie and alternative scenes, while the rhythmic and harmonic language leans more heavily into minor-key progressions and ritualistic motifs. Songs such as Witch Dance, The Old Religion and Kraken play explicitly with occult and mythological imagery, yet the production remains grounded in arena-scale clarity: big drums, wide stereo imaging and vocal arrangements designed to fill venues like Lanxess Arena and Uber Arena without losing emotional detail.
What’s next for Florence + The Machine
Looking at confirmed information, Florence + The Machine’s next German live date is March 9, 2026 at Uber Arena in Berlin, with the show scheduled for the evening and framed as part of The Everybody Scream Tour. Venue listings and German events portals agree on this date, placing it at the end of the German three-city run before the band move on to other European territories and the North American leg.
