Florence Welch isn’t whispering anymore, she’s screaming. Florence + The Machine just announced their sixth album, Everybody Scream, is out on Halloween, October 31. Of course it is.

The band already teased the title track and One Of The Greats. But this week, Florence dropped the full 12-song tracklist and it’s kinda like a witch’s spellbook. Witch Dance. Kraken. The Old Religion. No surprise, I guess. Right?
In classic Florence +The Machine fashion, they didn’t just post a list online , they mailed fans handwritten postcards, one track title at a time.
Okay, that’s pretty cool.
Here’s the tracklist:
-
Everybody Scream
-
One Of The Greats
-
Witch Dance
-
Sympathy Magic
-
Perfume And Milk
-
Buckle
-
Kraken
-
The Old Religion
-
Drink Deep
-
Music By Men
-
You Can Have It All

And Love
Singer Florence Welch says the album came out of a near-death experience: emergency surgery during her Dance Fever tour in 2023 after an ectopic pregnancy. “The closest I came to making life was the closest I came to death,” she told an interviewer. “And I felt like I had stepped through this door, and it was just full of women, screaming.”
And the collaborators? IDLES’ Mark Bowen. Mitski. The National’s Aaron Dessner. All compliment Florence’s eerie persona.
She calls it her “most personal” album yet, inspired by the current left-field side of pop and the chaos that comes from surviving your own body.
Next up for Florence +The Machine: a UK and European arena run in February ’26, including two nights at London’s O2.
Everybody Scream isn’t just an album title. It’s an exorcism. And Florence Welch has never sounded more alive.
