Berlin witnessed a special moment Monday night as Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine joined supporting artist Paris Paloma onstage during the final indicate of the European leg of the ‘Everybody Scream’ tour. The impromptu collaboration saw the two artists perform Paloma’s poignant track, ‘Labour,’ captivating the audience at the Uber Arena. This unexpected pairing underscores the growing connection between the two musicians, with Paloma having opened for Florence + The Machine throughout the tour, which concluded on March 9, 2026.
The ‘Everybody Scream’ tour, launched in support of Florence + The Machine’s sixth studio album of the same name, released on October 31, 2025, has been a resounding success, traversing Europe and North America. The tour’s staging has been praised for its folk-horror inspired aesthetic, complementing the album’s exploration of themes like grief, hope, and folklore. Paloma’s inclusion as a supporting act proved to be a particularly fitting choice, as her own music has drawn comparisons to Welch’s lyrical depth and emotional resonance.

The performance has quickly gained traction online, with clips shared widely across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. The song ‘Labour’ itself has become a significant track for Paloma, amassing over 382 million streams on Spotify and reaching the top 30 in the UK charts, according to the Official Charts Company.
