Little Angels Announce 2026 UK Reunion Tour With Original Line Up

Legendary British hard rock band Little Angels have confirmed they will reunite for a UK tour in November 2026, marking their first full run of shows in more than a decade.

The tour, titled Big Bad and Back, will feature the band’s original line up, including vocalist Toby Jepson, guitarist Bruce Dickinson, keyboard player Jim Dickinson, bassist Mark Plunkett and drummer Mark Richardson. It will be the first time the group has toured together since their 2012 comeback, which followed a high profile appearance at Download Festival.

Little Angels first formed in Scarborough nearly 40 years ago and rose to prominence at the tail end of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal era. They went on to become one of the defining UK hard rock acts of the late 1980s and early 1990s, building a strong domestic following and achieving significant chart success.

During their peak years, the band secured 11 UK Top 40 singles and released four hit albums. Their 1993 record Jam reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, cementing their place in British rock history. The group were also known for energetic live performances and shared stages with major international artists including Van Halen, Guns N Roses, Faith No More, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Bryan Adams and Bon Jovi.

Their original farewell show at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 1994 was sold out, and the band remained inactive for many years before reuniting briefly in the early 2010s. Since then, fans have speculated about a possible return, but a full UK tour had not materialised until now.

Frontman Toby Jepson said the decision to reunite was rooted in gratitude for the band’s loyal supporters and the enduring bond between members. He described the upcoming tour as an opportunity for friends to perform for friends, highlighting the shared history between the group and its audience.

The Big Bad and Back tour will begin on November 12 in Glasgow before travelling to Manchester, Leeds, Norwich, Oxford, Nottingham, Wolverhampton, Liverpool, Bristol and Bournemouth. The run will conclude on November 28 at London’s O2 Shepherds Bush Empire.

Adding to the nostalgic tone of the tour, Thunder guitarist and songwriter Luke Morley will support all dates. Organisers say the pairing will celebrate a significant era in British hard rock, reflecting the impact both acts had during the genre’s commercial peak.

Tickets for the reunion tour will go on sale at 9am on Friday February 13 through major ticketing platforms. Demand is expected to be strong given the rarity of Little Angels live appearances in recent years and the continued interest in classic British rock acts returning to the stage.
