In September 2018, at the peak of the High As Hope Tour, Florence + The Machine—led by Florence Welch and riding their fourth album High As Hope, where baroque-pop gained a more introspective, minimalist hue with themes of vulnerability and healing—delivered an exclusive concert for iHeartRadio LIVE in New York, turning the studio into a temple of collective catharsis. The half-hour set, captured in high quality with acoustic guitar and string quartet, embodied the American leg's climax, where "Hunger" and "Patricia" resonated through the space, forging a sense of personal dialogue with millions online. As a rare artifact of her post-pandemic resurgence, this show underscored Florence's role as a modern shamaness, infusing rock with chamber scale.
