LITTLE ANGELS… BIG BAD & BACK ULTRA-RARE UK TOUR ANNOUNCED FOR NOVEMBER 2026
Legendary UK hard rock band Little Angels are Big, Bad & Back with an ultra-rare UK tour in November 2026, featuring the full original line-up of vocalist Toby Jepson, guitarist Bruce Dickinson, Jim Dickinson on keyboards, Mark Plunkett on bass guitar & drummer Mark Richardson.
The last time Little Angels toured was in 2012, following their triumphant return at Download Festival. Those shows came 18 years after their sold-out farewell gig at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 1994.
Formed nearly 40 years ago in their hometown of Scarborough, Little Angels emerged from the ashes of the NWOBHM movement, becoming one of the defining UK hard rock bands of the late ’80s and early ’90s. It was an era shaped by Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, RAW Magazine, and The Friday Rock Show — and lived in the queues at Shades Records, the sweat-soaked nights at Marquee Club, and the packed rock clubs that ignited every UK town and city in the pre-grunge years.
Across their career, Little Angels built a fiercely loyal fanbase, scoring 11 UK Top 40 singles and four hit albums, including Jam, which reached #1 in 1993. Alongside their own sold-out headline tours, they shared stages with giants of the era including Van Halen, Guns N’ Roses, Faith No More, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Bryan Adams, and Bon Jovi.
Vocalist and songwriter Toby Jepson says: “We have the best fans in the world. For nearly 40 years they’ve stood by the band despite the rarity of shows and new music. It feels like the right time to come back together, for all the right reasons. Playing music as friends, for friends, because we love it.”
Adding to the sense of occasion, long-time friend and contemporary Luke Morley of Thunder will be supporting Little Angels on all dates.
Luke Morley adds: “I think this will be a fantastic celebration of that amazing time when Thunder and Little Angels both broke through and I’m delighted to be opening for the guys. We go back a long way and there’s a lot of people out there that were really into both bands so I think I’m definitely going to have to throw in a couple of Thunder tunes; it would be rude not to! I can’t wait!”
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or someone who missed Little Angels first time around, this tour is a rare chance to witness true survivors of one of the most iconic periods in UK hard rock, a celebration of an era, a scene, and a band that helped define it… See you down the front.
