The group’s sixth LP is titled Everybody Scream
Florence and the Machine will hand out the ultimate Halloween treat, with their new album, Everybody Scream, set to arrive on Oct. 31.
The group confirmed the LP on social media Tuesday, Aug. 19, sharing the cover art and a short message: “Florence and the Machine. Everybody Scream. The new album. This Halloween.” The announcement follows a string of teasers, including a cryptic video shared on social media last week that showed Florence Welch digging a hole in a field with a dagger and then screaming into it.
Several versions of Everybody Scream were also made available for pre-order on Florence and the Machine’s website. The LP will contain 12 new songs (a full track list hasn’t been released yet), though deluxe editions on both CD and vinyl will contain additional “chamber versions” of four tracks on the album.

Everybody Scream will be Florence and the Machine’s sixth studio album and first since 2022’s Dance Fever. Not much else is known about the new album at this point, though Welch may have dropped a few hints in a photo dump on Instagram back in early July. The slideshow included a picture of Welch in the studio with Idles guitarist Mark Bowen, and another of a whiteboard filled with a mix of mantras and ideas, such as “Clarity = Power,” “VOCALS!!!,” and “Swans vs. Adele.”
Florence and the Machine have shared some new music since dropping Dance Fever, including the 2023 single “Mermaids.” They’ve also dropped a few covers, like a version of No Doubt’s “Just a Girl” for the Yellowjackets soundtrack, and a rendition of the British WWII song “White Cliffs of Dover” for the AppleTV+ series, The New Look. Earlier this year, Florence and the Machine linked up with Everything Is Recorded and Sampha for a new collaborative single, “Never Felt Better.”
