Reception
The tour started at the Hackney Empire, in London, England where Florence launched Ceremonials. The show reportedly sold out in just 16 seconds through the band's official website. This event was streamed live on line, and televised on Channel 4 weeks later, alongside an interview with BBC Radio 1 host Nick Grimshaw. The next date was Seymour Centre in Sydney, Australia where Florence performed in a Jason Wu Fall 2011 dress.[17] The Daily Telegraph reported that the Seymour Centre show was sold-out and called the performance "wonderful" and "another awesome music memory" in their review.[18]
