Florence + The Machine - Everybody Scream (2026)

Original Post: October 27th, 2025

After a few quiet years, Florence Welch is back with one simple request: Everybody Scream. Along with a new album, the English powerhouse will be bringing her cathedral of chaos back to Scotiabank Arena. While other dates have their own array of indie darlings, Toronto is lucky enough to welcome superstar-in-the-making Rachel Chinouriri. With Montreal and Detroit dates hugging Toronto, this stop will test just how loud the city's lungs still are for Florence's signature brand of holy hysteria.

The factors

Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale.

Nearly a four-year tour gap +3

Her last appearance at Bud Stage will have been almost four years ago. It's not a very long gap, but it's paced well enough to reignite pent-up demand.

Scotiabank Arena is a tough sell -4

While not her first show in the arena (that would be October 2018 for the High as Hope Tour), Florence in 2026 is a different beast from Florence in 2018. Scotia has comparable seating capacity to Bud Stage, where her last two visits have been, but without a cheaper GA lawn offering, prices will be higher for most attendees. The move indoors will surely test her pull at arena prices.

Casual audience has waned -6

That's not to say the Dog Days Are Fully Over, but we're a long way from the commercial peaks of Florence's early output. We'll have to see how the new album lands with the public.

Multiple dates in driving distance -3

The jury's out on whether hardcore fans will be willing to cross borders for Detroit, but Montreal happening just one day prior could split fans if the price is right.

Cozy spring timing +2

Nestled away from the bustling summer festival season, April presents a comfortable buying opportunity for fans not yet bankrupt by ticket blitzes.

Rachel Chinouriri primed to soar +1

While not a major ticket driver right now, opener Rachel Chinouriri is a rising star in the scene. With recent collaborations with PinkPantheress, sombr, and a TikTok hit, there does exist a world where she makes it into the big leagues.

My recommendation is Wait. The jump from amphitheater to arena suggests confidence, but without a real resurgence in fan demand, it's hard to see the price hike as justified. Expect resale to soften post-album release.

Post-Show Verdict

Added: April 24th, 2026

Was the call right? How cheap did Florence + The Machine tickets really get? I got all the receipts right here for you, so you can see just how much readers that took my advice saved on tickets.

The call I made on October 27th, 2025, a week before tickets had went on sale was Correct. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in November.

A classic example of a fake sell-out

If you were to take the ticket page at face value (heh), you would think Florence + The Machine was a sold out concert. But what instead happened is a classic case of Ticketmaster's ability to manipulate ticket inventory to tell a different story from reality.

Limited view drop

Around March 20th, there was a large drop of side-view seats in the 100s and 300s ranging from $74.50 to $224.25. At the same time, you could see dozens of seats popping up in the 100s. These were priced at $289.01. At this point there still wasn't much room to save money, it would take some more waiting for that to happen.

Numerous pit drops

The first of many pit ticket drops happened on April 14th, just two days before the concert. Pit tickets are among the most coveted in the whole arena, with them being the first section to appear sold out shortly after presale. If you wanted to buy pit between November 3rd and April 14th, you would have been paying around $450 on the resale market for a scalped ticket.

Other pit drops happened over the next few days, including one where prices dropped to $173.00.

At the same time as the first pit drop, dozens of new seats in the 102/103 sections popped up for $224.25. These seats were comparable to ones sold at Platinum price for $463.51, marking a saving of $239.26 if you waiting for front row 100s tickets.

Resale panic sold

The fun didn't stop at Ticketmaster, we saw prices drop across the board on Stubhub too, with tickets in almost all sections falling below face value.

This one really came down to the wire, with prices only dropping below face value with days to spare. I knew it would be a close call, as Florence definitely has the ability to sell out Scotiabank Arena, but this ended up being another case where patience beat out the FOMO.

In summary, here's what you would have saved on Florence + The Machine Toronto tickets by choosing to Wait.
