Background and Reception
Florence and the Machine played their first performance in support of Ceremonials at New York City's exclusive club The Boom Boom Room. The performance was sponsored by Interview Magazine, which Florence Welch appeared on the October 2011 cover of.[18][19]
Tour dates and supporting acts for the UK & Ireland leg of the 2012 Arena tour were announced on 20 November 2011 via Florence's official website. It is the band's first arena tour.[6]
The band played at the Seymour Centre in Sydney, Australia in November where Florence performed in a Jason Wu Fall 2011 dress.[20] The Daily Telegraph reported that the Seymour Centre show was sold-out and called the performance "wonderful" and "another awesome music memory" in their review.[21]
