Not only have Little Angels added a pair of Irish dates to their tour, they’re putting them right at the front so Irish fans get first dibs!
The 80s and 90s hard rock legends have confirmed that their massive Big Bad & Back tour will now kick off in Dublin and Belfast this coming November. These two shows, hitting Opium in Dublin on Monday 9th and the Limelight in Belfast on Tuesday 10th, are the final pieces of the puzzle for what is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated reunions of 2026.
It’s been a wild ride for the lads since announcing their comeback. The response from the fans has been nothing short of mental, with the original London date at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire selling out in just a few days. That surge in interest led to a whole heap of extra dates being tacked on, proving that even after three decades away from the studio, the hunger for Little Angels is as strong as ever. Aside from a brief, brilliant appearance at Download Festival back in 2012, we haven’t seen much of them, so a 16-date run across the UK and Ireland is exactly what the doctor ordered.
Frontman Toby Jepson is clearly chuffed about the addition, noting that both cities hold some cracking memories for the band. He thanked the Irish fans for being patient while they got the logistics sorted, promising an epic run of shows that the band themselves didn’t quite see coming.
Back in the day, these guys were massive. With ten UK Top 40 singles and a number one album in Jam, they were staples of the rock scene. This tour sees the classic line-up back together: Toby Jepson on vocals, Bruce Dickinson on guitar, Jim Dickinson on keys, Mark Plunkett on bass, and Mark Richardson on drums. And yes, they’re bringing the Big Bad Horns along for the ride too.
