Hi all!

I got VIP tix for monday and was wondering what actually is included in the VIP?? What time do i need to get there for golden circle etc? Is there a separate entry for vip? Any info would be greatly appreciated:)

It’s my first time seeing Florence and my first time ever solo travelling and going to a concert solo! Is the crowd friendly most of the time? I’m hoping to be near the front (not expecting barricade because ik there is people out there who can handle waiting for hours better than me🤣) so i imagine I’ll run into some people who have been to see her lots of times, should I be worried?😭are how likely is it that they will be unkind LOL

Ik every crowd has a bad bunch but just in general

Do u think she will play more songs? Her festival setlist is shorter then the tour one, but she is headlining. And of yes, which sonst do u think she will play?

Hey, everyone. I just watched the new Seven Devils official lyrics video, and it's wrong in multiple places. Worse yet, it has errors commonly seen on lyrics websites. We know from Useless Magic what the exact lyrics are, but there are still no correct lyrics listing on these sites.

The mistakes:

5th stanza:

Wrong:

And we will find you saying it's to be better now
It's an even sum
It's a melody

Should be:

And we will find new saints to be canonized
It's an evensong
It's a litany

8th Stanza:

Wrong:

They can keep me out
'Til I tear the walls
'Til I save your heart
And to take your soul
And what has been done
Cannot be undone
In the evil's heart
In the evil's soul

Should be:

You can't keep it out
It's coming through the walls
To devastate your heart
And to take your soul
For what has been done
Cannot be undone
In the eagle's eye
In the evensong

Seven Devils is one of my favorite songs. It is incredibly agitating to see an official lyrics video use incorrect lyrics that often don't even match the sounds Florence is singing. I just saw this song live a few months ago, and the lyrics in this new video are blatantly wrong. I hope this was someone messing up and not AI slop, but it can be hard to tell these days.

Anyone know how we reach her team to tell them about this? 😅

EDIT: formatting, because Reddit doesn't respect line breaks.

It would be 15 years since the Ceremonials album, and I respect FATM if they only wanted to do it for their first album…. But I really want it (and it’s on my 2026 bingo card) 🥲

Was so happy getting my signed Florence ES cd today. I realized I’ve purchased a total of 6 items for ES.
2 signed copies of the signed LP as the first one had a huge F but could barely see and my 2nd one had a much smaller F but very readable. Also bought the Bluebell edition as an LP. 3 copies on cd. Signed, chamber version and the one with the book. Guess I’m a die hard fan. Several versions of DF as on well 2 CDs and the live LP. I love to have the signatures custom framed so I can look at them everyday and not kept hidden with the various form of media. Also secured a signed 24x 36 poster from DF that needs to be framed and hung. Needless to say my bedroom is covered in nothing but Florence memorabilia. Became a fan with DF and SOL and have become obsessed. Am I the only one that is bad?

I’ve only seen that one clip of The Last Dinner Party doing Dog Days and Google is ruined now so when I ask this question only clips of Florence covering other artists comes up but never anybody covering F+TM

Just listened to the Everybody Scream album for the first time in about 2 month as I didn't think it was up there with the rest of them. How wrong was i. It's a fantastic piece of work. For me it wont top her early work (first 3 albums) but its a great listen none the less 👌

I am staying in edinburgh - how to get to the summer sessions? I read a lot that people have problems getting there but Isee there are busses to the airport from the centre every 15 minutes and 30 minutes in the night? I also cant find the exact location?
Is there anything else I have to know - like is it hard to queing there long - like is there food and toilet nearbye or not, is it possible to get a totebag in... maybe other people have other questions and tips, I am always just hearing that edinburgh summer sessions is complicated

It was first published in 2018 and then in 2020 with some additional lyrics, poems and sermons. Since then FATM realised 2 albums sooo it might be the time for new book of lyrics/ poetry and scribbles?

I think Florence is more talented than ever, Everybody Scream is a masterclass in songwriting. but is anyone else getting the ick from FATM recently?

I think the shows are starting to lean too “witch version of a Texas mega church.” It’s starting to feel really artificial and egocentric. There’s times when the cult leader act is genuinely fitting (OOTG) but it’s so heavily overdone now, makes me wonder if things have changed behind the scenes.

Am I alone in this? I hate that I felt this way leaving the show I attended, it all felt fake to me 😭

Which lyrics touch you the most and leave you deeply moved?

Hello, this is my first post in this subreddit and I'm a rather new fan! That being said, my girlfriend is a really big fan and has been for a couple years, so naturally we went to go see Florence a total of two times. Once she went by herself and once we saw her at Sziget literally yesterday lol

That being said, I'm starting to notice a really nasty pattern. A lot of fans are... To say it bluntly, extremely obsessed, but what seems to an unhealthy degree which makes them act toxic to other fans. When my gf went to go see her in Prague, she was rather close to the front of the queue and nearly got barricade, with two much taller ladies standing in front of her, there was space between them.. so she tried to see if she could wiggle in. The ladies only pushed on each other, looked at her meanly and were asking each other if they see alright.. even tho she wasn't taking their space anyhow?

Next, on Sziget, we were queuing at the main stage (yes, judge us, we were there mainly for her and wanted to get the best experience to see Paris, her and even Lewis) and we got to talk to some fans who were sitting next to us. Specifically this one guy and his friend. They were nice, he was sharing some tips about how it went down at Zara Larsson's, all that. Then, when the barricade run started, I secured TWO SPOTS!! For both me and her. She was on crutches as she's having hip issues after a surgery, so I was waiting till she'd waddle her way to us... That's when his friend asks if we could swap so she could stand next to him... Sure, but that was a mistake. Suddenly my space shrunk to be one person's... Sure, at least she'll be able to stand at barricade as she's the bigger fan and I'd be able to see over her.... The upcoming multiple hours of the shows were a disaster. She stood at the barricade and the people next to her PUSHED HER OUT by actively pushing at her hips with theirs, continuously expanding their space until she literally couldn't stand anymore because she was in pain... So second row for us it was. These two extreme fans then ended up ignoring all the other artists playing for us, being on their phone, texting people, listening to music on earphones?? While a smaller artist was playing??? Asking for Paris Paloma's setlist.... Even tho they didn't sing a single word and didn't know her??? Laughing at people clapping at the artists before Florence and making fun of them.... Once Florence came, absolute and utter euphoria, looking like they're having a religious experience and reaching out and closing their eyes like they're ascending... Even tho they apparently saw her like for the multipleth time.

TL;DR?

What's up with the extremely mean and disrespectful "superfans" that will do anything for barricade, even hurting people actively and being rude, have seen her 10 times and will continue to do so, while treating her like a literal god? (Don't get me wrong, I also had a religious experience seeing the goddess myself but yk there's a limit...) I'm not the only one who's had these experiences as another friend of ours also saw her and again, extremely rude people.....

I'm sure Florence wouldn't condone any of this behavior.

Just booked my hotel which was so fkn expensive but I’m super excited! Also, to those who are going, what time you planning to line up? 🤔
