LITTLE ANGELS Are Big Bad and Back

Dublin and Belfast will host the opening dates for English hard rockers LITTLE ANGELS’ ‘Big Bad and Back’ tour in 2026.

The shows on Monday 9th February at Opium Dublin and on Tuesday 10th February at the the Belfast Limelight will be the final additions to a long run of live dates this November 2026.

This year, it was announced that the 1993 Jam-era line-up of Little Angels, featuring Jepson, Plunkett, Richardson, and the Dickinson brothers, would reunite for the ‘Big Bad and Back’ shows in November 2026, with Luke Morley from Thunder providing support. Full list of dates and venues (below.)

The band achieved significant fame in Britain during the early 1990s, touring with major artists like Van Halen and Bon Jovi. They disbanded in 1994 after a successful six-date tour that concluded at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

With their 2026 ‘Big Bad and Back’ 16-date tour of the UK and Ireland, Little Angels have shown that their absence from the stage has not impacted their considerable fan appeal. Even though they haven’t released new music in thirty years, and have not performed together on stage, apart from a solitary showing at Download Festival in 2012, people are still eager to see them play live.

Vocalist and songwriter Toby Jepson offers his thoughts on the newly announced Irish shows:

“And it keeps getting better. We’re delighted to be getting back to play Belfast and Dublin as part of what has turned into an epic run of shows none of us could have predicted…

Both of those wonderful cities hold great memories for the band, so thanks to our loyal Irish fans for your patience, it took some doing, but we finally got there!”
