Florence + the Machine have just revealed plans for their upcoming North American mini-tour.

The 17-date trek will see the English rockers through a number of American cities between May 10 and June 9, kicking off in Mayer, Ariz.

Before the grand finale in Miami, the Florence Welch-led band will stop off in Canada for two exclusive performances in both Toronto and Montreal.

The tour was planned to promote the latest Florence + the Machine album, the critically-acclaimed High as Hope (2018).
