Since the release of her debut album Lungs in 2009, Florence Welch and her Machine have ridden quite the wave of critical praise and commercial success. With her brilliant red hair, rock 'n' roll flair, and the kind of voice that makes you feel like your dog days are truly over, Welch is taking over Central Park for one of the most hotly anticipated concerts of the summer. Twin Shadow open.

Central Park Summerstage, Rumsey Playfield, Fifth Ave. at 69th, (212) 360-2777, 6:30 p.m. $40.
