Florence and the Machine launch their new album tonight at a sold-out gig at Hackney Empire – and the Guardian is streaming the show in real time.
If you've purchased an access code, you can watch the live stream here and discuss the performance in the comments below this article.
Ceremonials, due out on 31 October, is the follow-up to the group's No 1 album Lungs, which won the award for best British album at the Brit awards in 2010. Florence Welch, in an interview with the Observer to be published on Sunday, has talked about the mounting expectation surrounding the release of her second album. But what do you think about the new material you're hearing tonight? What are the highlights? How does it compare to Lungs? Have you seen Florence and the Machine live before? Let us know how you find the experience of watching the gig online.
We'll have a post-gig video interview with Welch on the Guardian music site tomorrow, and another live stream of PJ Harvey's concert at the Royal Albert Hall next week (you can sign up to watch it here).
Until then, sit back, enjoy the show – and tell us what you think.
