Grimes To Open For Florence + The Machine On Tour

Both Grimes and Florence + The Machine enjoyed a mammoth 2015; each dropped a highly lauded album (Art Angels and How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful respectively), and made the news for a myriad reasons including speaking out against sexism in the music industry, paying tribute to the Paris attacks, and of course, a hugely impressive five Grammy nominations for Florence.
