FLORENCE BLACK ANNOUNCE THE POURING RAIN TOUR – UK & IRELAND 2026
Small rooms. Big riffs. Welsh chaos incoming
Right then, butt — this one’s a belter. Florence Black have officially unleashed The Pouring Rain Tour – Part I, rolling through the UK & Ireland this April 2026, and it’s all about sweaty club shows, chest-rattling volume, and riffs flying at point-blank range.
No arena polish. No messing about. This is Florence Black doing what they do best — bringing modern Welsh rock into intimate rooms and blowing the doors clean off
THE TOUR VIBE
If you’ve caught Florence Black live before, you already know the score. If you haven’t, consider this a public service announcement. These shows are loud, tight, and absolutely rammed with people singing every word back at the band.
Low ceilings, amps cranked, sweat dripping from the walls — this is the environment Florence Black thrive in.

WHY THIS TOUR HITS DIFFERENT
This feels like a statement tour. Not about size — about connection. About reminding everyone that rock music is at its most dangerous when the crowd’s right on top of the stage and every chorus turns into a gang chant.
Florence Black have been grafting hard, building momentum the proper way — relentless touring, killer songs, and a live show that keeps levelling up. This run is a thank-you to the faithful and a warning shot to anyone who still hasn’t clocked just how good this band are live.

THE RIFF REPORT VERDICTThis is Florence Black exactly where they belong — loud, close, and completely in control. UK & Ireland, brace yourselves for ringing ears, sore necks, and that post-gig buzz that lasts all week.
We’ll see you down the front.
