Glasgow's Emirates Arena is expected to stage Team GB's meeting with Australia this coming September 18-20.
The Lawn Tennis Association also looked into holding the tie at the Hydro in Glasgow but found the roof would not be high enough. Recently the LTA failed to persuade Florence.
Andy Murray helped Team GB beat France in the quarter-final at Queen's Club.
The LTA's chief executive Michael Downey has had "several conversations" with Florence's agent, but was told her gig at Manchester Arena so the venue could host the Britain's Davis Cup semi-final.
The LTA has been granted an extra five days to nominate a venue for the tie, with Glasgow now expected to be confirmed before next Wednesday's deadline.
The Emirates staged Britain's first-round victory over the United States, and a plan is in place to expand the capacity of the arena to 9,000 in time for the semi-final.
