Florence Welch and co. took to the stage yesterday night (August 28), ahead of their set at Reading on Sunday night (August 30). The performance, which saw her draw heavily from the critically acclaimed ‘Everybody Scream’, also included a surprise sing-along from the crowd after they learned it was her birthday.
When the album was shared last Halloween, Welch had said exploring spiritual mysticism and folk horror helped shape the record, and last night, she performed a playful “ritual” with the Leeds crowd.
Fans later joked about Welch’s mystical influence on them, with one taking to X to say she “stole [their] soul” at Leeds.
