Florence + The Machine Announce Summer Tour

2:36 p.m. · February 14, 2011 · by Andrew Martin

The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards were, for Florence Welch, kind of a tease. She started out the night rather strongly as she held her own in the dedication to Aretha Franklin amongst the likes of Jennifer Hudson and Christina Aguilera. But later in the evening, Florence + The Machine suffered a loss when the Best New Artist award went to Esperanza Spalding, who definitely deserved it but, to be fair, isn't really new. Either way, Welch and her band will be touring the country this summer. And, interestingly, some of the their dates feature them playing with U2. Hmm.
