Leeds Festival 2010

FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE, aka Florence Mary Leontine Welsh and whoever happens to be beside her on stage are already the talking point of 2009. Having bagged a BRIT Award at the opening of the year and been acclaimed by NME as ‘among the most charismatic greats’, it is the combination of Florence’s stunning voice and her electrifying stage presence that draw such high praise for an artist about to release her debut album. By the time these shows come round expect many more plaudits and a huge crowd at each site.
