Florence and the Machine Support Act

There is a special curse that comes with supporting this particular artist. You cannot wear white. Why? Because Florence Welch owns white. She looks like a ghost bride who just escaped a cathedral and rolled in glitter. If you wear white on that stage, you will look like a rental. A backup dancer. A mistake. So the support act usually goes for black, or deep red, or something that screams “I am supporting, not overshadowing.” It’s a fashion minefield, and I salute them for navigating it.

Also? The dancing. The crowd is saving their energy. They are conserving their lung power for the big sing-alongs. So when the support act asks, “How is everyone doing?!” and the crowd gives a lukewarm “Woooo,” you can almost see the opener’s soul leave their body for a second. It’s tough. But the good ones just laugh it off. The great ones say, “Okay, that’s fair. Let’s try this one.”

Who Are These Mysterious Legends?

Over the years, Florence has introduced us to some absolute gems. There was The Staves—a trio of sisters whose harmonies are so tight they could bottle them and sell them as medicine. They opened for her in the UK and sounded like angels who had been day-drinking. Then there was Ghostpoet, which was a wilder choice. His music was moody, spoken-word, and dark. It felt like the opening to a horror movie before Florence came in like the sunrise. It worked so well.

And who could forget Maggie Rogers? She opened for Florence in 2017, right before she blew up. Maggie was bouncing around the stage like a golden retriever who just discovered a field of tennis balls. She was pure joy, which is actually a perfect foil to Florence’s intense, dramatic sorrow. You need that lightness before the emotional gut-punch.

Then there was Lewis Del Mar, a band that played with a huge wall of sound. Their set was so energetic that by the time Florence came out, the crowd was already sweaty and happy. You see? That is the art. You don’t steal the queen’s thunder. You make sure the kingdom is buzzing when she arrives.
