Context
Fourteen years after her previous Reading appearance, Florence Welch returns on August 30, 2026 to headline the festival for the first time. The Grid stage at Little John's Farm also hosts the close of the Everybody Scream Tour, which began in February.
Everybody Scream opens the show and shares space with Shake It Out, Which Witch and Howl. Mark Bowen comes on for One of the Greats. Florence cuts Rabbit Heart short and runs it into You've Got the Love; on Sympathy Magic, she brings the show right up to the barrier. Free closes the set with fireworks.
The arrival at Reading completes a run through European arenas, North America and summer festivals. The show is part of the BBC's television and digital coverage and remains available as a complete recording on the band's channel. The end of the tour thus gets a memory that outlasts the last night.
- Mark Bowen joins on One of the Greats.
