Little Angels are Big, Bad & Back with a UK headline tour in November — featuring the full original line-up of vocalist Toby Jepson, guitarist Bruce Dickinson, Jim Dickinson on keyboards, Mark Plunkett on bass guitar and 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.

Vocalist and songwriter 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.”

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.

The band scored 11 UK Top 40 singles and four hit albums, including Jam, which reached number one 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.

Long time time friend and contemporary Luke Morley of Thunder will be supporting Little Angels on all dates.

He adds: “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!”
