Right then rock family… dust off the old tour shirts and prepare the vocal cords, because Little Angels are officially BIG, BAD & BACK — and they’re kicking the whole glorious circus off in Ireland. 🇮🇪🤘

The band have confirmed Dublin and Belfast as the opening salvo for what’s already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about comeback runs of 2026.

📍 Mon 09 Nov – Dublin – Opium
📍 Tue 10 Nov – Belfast – Limelight

And let’s be honest… if London sold out in days, these won’t hang about either.

⚡ From Sold-Out Chaos To Full-Blown Resurrection

When the London date at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire vanished faster than free beer backstage, promoters had no choice but to add another night at O2 Forum Kentish Town.

That’s not nostalgia.
That’s demand.
That’s unfinished business roaring back to life.

For a band who haven’t released new material in over 30 years — aside from a one-off blast at Download in 2012 — this level of hunger says everything.

The fans never left. They were just waiting.

🗣 Toby Jepson: “It Keeps Getting Better”

Frontman and riff general Toby Jepson summed it up beautifully:

“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… thanks to our loyal Irish fans for your patience.”

There’s something beautifully human about that. Bands don’t always get second chapters. When they do, it’s earned.

📀 Let’s Not Rewrite History — They Were MASSIVE

Back in the late ’80s and early ’90s, Little Angels weren’t just “one of those bands.” They were chart-bothering, arena-filling, horn-blasting rock royalty.

🔥 Ten UK Top 40 singles
🔥 Third album Jam debuting at No.1
🔥 A live reputation that could peel paint off venue walls

This was the era when you bought records with actual money, queued outside HMV, and wore the same tour tee until it basically became lace.

Rock wasn’t background noise. It was identity.

🎷 The Classic Line-Up. The Big Bad Horns. The Whole Lot.

And this isn’t a half-measure reunion. It’s the full classic line-up:

🎤 Toby Jepson – Vocals
🎸 Bruce Dickinson – Guitar
🎹 Jim Dickinson – Keys
🎸 Mark Plunkett – Bass
🥁 Mark Richardson – Drums
🎺 Plus the Big Bad Horns

You bring the horns back, you’re not easing in gently. You’re coming in swinging.

🐉 Riff Report Verdict

Some reunions feel like museum tours.

This? This feels like ignition.

There’s something beautifully strange about rock history. Bands disappear. Decades pass. Then suddenly the appetite returns stronger than ever — like the universe reminding us that riffs don’t expire.

November 2026 is going to be loud.
Ireland gets first crack at it.

And if you’re anywhere near Dublin or Belfast… you might want to be in that room when the lights go down. 🤘🔥

Proudly Loud. Always.
