The R&B trio had been scheduled to hit the road in support of their debut album ‘Access All Areas’, which was released last November.
Originally set to kick off in Hamburg tonight (March 5), the trek would have also seen the group take to the stage in Utrecht, Cologne and Paris before heading to the UK for shows in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and London.
The latter was lined up for the O2 Academy Brixton in London on March 16.
Now, sharing a joint statement on social media, FLO have now confirmed that their UK and European run has been delayed. “It absolutely breaks our hearts to announce that we are going to have to reschedule our UK and European tour,” the message began.
“Towards the end of our rehearsals, Renée damaged ligaments in her knee, and whilst alongside our team we have tried our best to find a solution, we just aren’t able to give you the show we want at this time and a tour that you deserve.”

(@flolikethis)“We are so sad and sorry that we won’t be seeing you over the next few weeks but are working on rescheduling these shows ASAP, so please hold onto your tickets as these will be valid for the new date,” it added. “Renée will be recovered in time for the US dates, so they will go ahead as planned. UK and Europe, we love you and absolutely can’t wait to see you all very soon.” See the post above.
FLO’s unaffected US and Canada dates are scheduled to begin in early April. This summer, they’ll return to the capital for a headline gig as part of the Somerset House Series.
Last weekend, FLO were nominated for R&B Act at the BRIT Awards 2025 alongside Cleo Sol, Jorja Smith, Michael Kiwanuka and RAYE – the latter of whom ultimately took home the trophy.
Speaking to NME at the ceremony, the trio said they “need[ed] a bit of rivalry” within the genre. “It gets boring being the only girl group, and it’d be a bit more fun [with more of us],” Jorja Douglas explained.
“Rivalry aside, we are about girl power so the more women, the merrier.”
Looking ahead to the group’s plans for 2025, she told NME: “There’s some new music, we’re going on tour, there are festivals. We’re just hoping to be out and about because last year we spent so much time sheltered and working on the album. Now that it’s out, it will be nice to actually get out there.”
