Part of Old Religion- Seattle ❤️

Florence's music, like many, has helped me through a lot in my life. But Everybody Scream was more, the last 5 years have been a rollercoaster of hell for me and my child. Where everything is out of my control but I have to be strong and carry on. Fighting the medical system, research, finding go arounds and so much therapy and surgery. And then you add the dumpster fire of our country in, as they actively try to rip away my rights as women.

Sympathy Magic and old religion became my anthem through the days. Being able to hear both live was a dream, the whole concert was a dream.

I know she wont see this but thank you Florence, your words mean so much and you have no idea how many times I've screamed Old Religion. The anger and passion of that song encompasses all my feelings.

"And I am wound so tightly

I hardly even breathe

You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release

Watch me crawl on hands and knees

And scratch at the door of heaven"

"And I'm powerless, I know , don't remind me".

My first show was magical + there are still kind strangers out there

I just saw Flo in Los Angeles. I’ve been a fan since high school- not sure why it took me so long to see her. I did go alone as I don’t know any other fans irl. She sang all the songs I hoped she’d sing and her vocals live are insane. We were also both wearing similar red dresses. I danced and sang my heart out and felt happier than I have in over a year. I cried at the end lol.

Shout out to the parking manager who saved me tonight. I got my parking pass the same time I got my seat on Ticketmaster through ParkWhiz and it said id be in a lot next to the Kia Forum. I get there and the lot was in a *different city*. I panicked because every nearby lot was full plus I only had $20 on me. I was in tears. I ended up finding an open parking lot, but the guy said it was $80. I asked if there was any wiggle room and he told me to ask his boss. I explained my situation and he gestured for me to park. I tried to give him the $20, but he waved me off and told me to enjoy the show. Thanks to that super kind man I got to my seat in the middle of the first song (Everybody Scream).

I Shazamed some of the music that was playing in the background before Florence's Kia concert began.

It was all very...mystical. ✨

Has city specific shirts been the norm on this tour?

I dismissed the ES tour shirts when they were revealed because they were just boxy images with the dates on the back. So apologies if this has been posted and discussed since. It's hard to search 'shirt' in this sub and get an answer. And I just scroll past merch related posts since the tour began.

As soon as I saw this at the show last night, it was an instant buy. Has she been doing these on other stops on the tour?

LA Night 2 - Curb Cellphone Use

Hey LA, please be respectful with your cellphone usage. I’m not going to tell anyone what to do with the money they spent. Just a friendly request.

However I will say LA has a bad reputation in the touring world with how our fans are (for any artist) and Night 1 there was a lot of cellphones out and high above heads. It’s not a great look and it can be frustrating for other fans, especially on the floor, trying to have a view and it’s obstructed by phones.

EDIT: Not saying don’t film or take photos, just be respectful to people behind you and how long you spend doing it. If you record the whole time you won’t experience anything I guarantee you.

IVF sisters, are you here?

I am an IVF veteran who lost a preemie daughter. Last night I noticed that when the line “the injections/the harvest the needles” was sung that the Witch Choir swiftly grabbed their stomachs. Did any of my IVF sisters notice it too? I see you. 🫶🏼
