Florence and the Machine recently announced plans for their next album High as Hope, and for fans who had high hopes of catching Florence Welch and co. perform the new material live, they're in luck. The band will embark on a North American tour this fall.
 
It kicks off with a round of festival dates, including previously announced performances at Osheaga in Montreal (August 5) and SKOOKUM Festival in Vancouver (September 8).
 
The arena portion of the live dates starts on September 10 in Seattle and will eventually return to Canada for a Toronto show on October 16. The tour will come to an end in Minneapolis on October 20.
 
Throughout the run of shows, Florence and the Machine will be joined by an impressive array of openers, including Wet, St. Vincent and Lizzo, Kamasi Washington, Billie Eilish, Beth Ditto, Grizzly Bear and Perfume Genius.
 
See the full list of dates and supporting act details below. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday (June 1) at 10 a.m. local time.
