Following a commanding and inspiring performance on Download Festival 2026‘s main stage, critically acclaimed alternative artist RØRY has revealed details about THE BLOODLETTING UK TOUR, her biggest ever headline UK run to date. Taking place in January 2027, the six-date tour will see her hit stages in Manchester, Glasgow, Nottingham, Birmingham and Cardiff, ending with an enormous show at London’s prestigious O2 Academy Brixton. Support across all dates comes from Delilah Bon and Mothica. Speaking on the tour announcement, RØRY shares:
“Four years ago, I walked on stage at my first headline show and played to 250 people. I remember thinking, ‘This must be a dream.’ Today, I’m announcing the biggest headline tour of my life. “And two of my absolute favourite artists are joining me… MOTHICA and Delilah Bon. One day I’ll wake up from this dream… but that’s not today. “This album was born from pain, carried by hope, and fuelled by people who refused to give up on themselves. If you’ve ever felt behind, forgotten, broken, or underestimated… this tour belongs to you. Welcome to the bloodletting.” Artist presale begins on 17th June at 10am BST, followed by Live Nation and Download Family presale on 18th June at 10am BST. Tickets will go on general sale on 19th June at 10am BST. See the full list of dates below, and find more information and ticket links here. RØRY – THE BLOODLETTING UK TOUR DATES

| The UK tour will follow the release of her highly anticipated second album, BLOODLETTING, which will arrive later this year on 4th September via SADCØRE RECORDS. The new album is a fearless exploration of grief, rage, mortality and what it truly means to be alive. Produced by long-term collaborators KINGDOMS with additional production and mixing from Dan Lancaster (Bring Me The Horizon, Muse), the album expands RØRY’s sound into heavier territory while retaining the raw honesty that defines her songwriting. Pre-order and pre-save the album here. Speaking about the album’s creation, RØRY shares:
“I realised I was sick from being nice. I’d spent so much of my life being the bigger person, forgiving people, understanding people, making excuses for people. I’d become disconnected from huge parts of myself. BLOODLETTING was about reclaiming them.” BLOODLETTING will feature all of RØRY‘s recent singles – ‘DEGRADATION’, ‘DEAD GIRL WALKING’, ‘KIDS THESE DAYS’ and her latest release, ‘STRANGE’. RØRY released a music video for ‘STRANGE’ last week, which can be watched here. |

ABOUT RØRY AND BLOODLETTING:
What happens when the dreams come true but the grief remains? When the wounds heal but the anger stays buried beneath them? When mortality, loss and heartbreak continue to exist regardless of how much progress you have made?For much of her life, RØRY had been comfortable writing about sadness. Anger was another matter entirely.As therapy forced her to confront decades of suppressed emotions, she found herself face to face with feelings she had spent a lifetime avoiding: rage, resentment, jealousy, revenge, even hatred. Emotions that felt dangerous. Emotions that had never appeared in her songwriting before. The title itself became the perfect metaphor. Historically, bloodletting was an ancient medical practice where blood was released from the body to cure illness. For RØRY, it became a spiritual act. A release of everything buried too deep for too long. The result is the heaviest, most ambitious and most expansive music of her career. Working once again with long-time collaborators Kingdoms alongside additional production and mixing from Dan Lancaster (Bring Me The Horizon, Muse), RØRY pushed herself further than ever before. Inspired by the emotional weight of modern heavy music and determined to evolve as an artist, she began taking vocal lessons and learned to scream for the first time, discovering a new language capable of expressing emotions clean vocals could never fully contain. Keep your eyes peeled for more RØRY and BLOODLETTING news in the near future. |
