Florence and the Machine at Leeds First Direct Arena - door opening times, banned items & last minute tickets

Florence and the Machine are set to perform at Leeds First Direct Arena this weekend after postponing the concert last year. The indie band was due to perform in Leeds in November but Florence Welch, who heads the band broke her foot while performing at her London O2 gig.

The accident meant that the band had to postpone all remaining shows until 2023. Florence and the machine are now due to perform at Leeds First Direct Arena on February 4.

Florence Welch posted a series of photos on her Instagram account ahead of her return to the stage. She wrote: “COMING BACK BIGGER, BADDER, AND EVEN SADDER IN 2023 👹” and “Uk and Ireland’s tour starts again in two weeks what’s everybody wearing 🎀x.”
