Hold onto your pint glasses, mun — When Rivers Meet are taking their blues-rock juggernaut back out on the road this autumn, and it’s shaping up to be their biggest UK tour yet. What started as a tidy 15-date run has already ballooned with extra shows added, making this one of the hottest tickets of 2025. Proper job! 🏴
The Lowdown
Grace and Aaron Bond — the Essex power couple behind When Rivers Meet — have been carving their place in the UK rock scene with blistering riffs, swampy blues, and harmonies that could strip paint off your nan’s front door (in a lush way, of course).
This autumn they’re heading out on the Tree of Life Tour, celebrating their new album Addicted To You. Expect the duo to be joined by their full six-piece band, bringing that extra wallop of live energy we all crave.

🔥 New album fuel – Addicted To You is packed with future setlist killers.
🤘 Fan favourites guaranteed – Expect Did I Break The Law, Testify, and Innocence of Youth to get the full stadium treatment (even in sweaty little clubs).

Welsh Dates? Sorted! 🏴
We’ve got our eyes locked on Cardiff’s Globe (Thu 20 Nov). That room’s going to shake like the Millennium Stadium after a Six Nations try. If you’re there, c’mon and say hi to the Riff Report crew — pint in hand, front row centre, headbanging like there’s no tomorrow.
