The singer has a big date with Edinburgh this week.

Formed in London in 2007, Florence and the Machine (or Florence + the Machine) shot to fame with debut album Lungs in 2009, hitting number one in the UK charts after 65 weeks in the top 40.

Centred around the dramatic vocals of lead singer Florence Welsh, that album won them the Brit Award for Best British Album 2010 to add to the Critic’s Choice Award received at the ceremony a year earlier.

Further success has followed with another five studio albums, most recently last year’s critically-acclaimed Everybody Scream.

In 2015 Welch became the first British female artist of the 21st century to headline Glastonbury, while the band have been nominated for six Grammy Awards.

The band are currently in the middle of a summer tour and there’s good news for Scottish fans - with a date in Edinburgh.

Here’s everything you need to know if you are going along.
