Florence + the Machine review – ​a thrilling shift in tone towards stark, sombre catharsis

Florence Welch brought her highly anticipated Dance Fever tour to the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on Wednesday night, delivering a performance defined by a shift toward somber catharsis during the first of two sold-out shows in the city. The British singer-songwriter took to the stage to promote her latest studio work, blending her signature high-energy stage presence with a new, vulnerable emotional depth to address themes of isolation and artistic rebirth. The concert, part of a rescheduled run following a previous injury, showcased Welch’s ability to transition from arena-filling anthems to moments of profound, solitary intimacy before a captivated Scottish audience.
