I updated the gallery with some additional Coachella Festival photos. There’s also an interview that Flo did with Vogue, which you can read below and after the cut!

Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine is one of Coachella’s biggest headliners this year, but the first time the British songstress went to the festival was as a fan. “I was invited to stay at a friend’s condo a few years ago and I thought that condo meant pool house,” said Welch before her performance Sunday night. “But it was literally the tiniest apartment and seventeen of us were in there. There were people sleeping in the kitchen cupboards and side tables. I ended up sleeping on the balcony.” These days, Welch stays at a nearby luxury resort during the festival, although she still makes time to catch a show or two despite her hectic schedule. Just hours before her set on Sunday, she was gearing up to watch new R&B singer The Weeknd. “Back home, festivals always feel like an endurance test, it’s about surviving the rain and the mud,” she said. “Every time I come here I just remember to appreciate how laid-back and beautiful the setting is.” Inside her trailer—parked next to fellow stellar musicians Dr. Dre and French electro outfit Justice—Florence revealed the contents of her Coachella emergency kit, the new fashion label she is currently obsessing over, and what songs she has on her pre-show playlist right now.
