FLO are heading to Wembley. The British R&B trio have announced their first headline arena show for March 12, 2027, at London's OVO Arena Wembley, closing a Therapy At The Club tour that begins in North America in January.
The first stop is Seattle on January 22. New York follows on February 13 at Radio City Music Hall, with YouTube Theater in Los Angeles and The Anthem in Washington also on the route. Toronto ends the North American leg on February 21. March brings Cologne, Amsterdam and Paris, then Manchester's O2 Apollo on March 10 before London.
There's less time to wait for tickets. Artist presales open on October 7 at 10am local time; general sales begin on October 9 at 10am local time. The hour refers to each city's clock. Anyone weighing up dates in different countries needs to keep that in mind before settling down for a sale.
Jorja Douglas, Renée Downer and Stella Quaresma released their second album, Therapy At The Club, on August 7. The record has 16 tracks and runs for about 46 minutes. A remix project with Honey Dijon followed, so the songs already have more than one recorded setting. Now they get a tour.
For anyone catching up, the group's official site has videos for Leak It, Cry Ugly, Remedied and Don't Break Her Heart, along with live Vevo performances of Leak It and the title track. That is a practical place to begin before returning to the full album. A filmed performance and a night in a venue are different experiences, of course, but the former gives a listener something to work with beyond a promotional photograph.
The club setting also leaves room for an emotional story. People go out carrying whatever happened earlier in the day; a beat doesn't automatically make that disappear. In a concert, those individual moods meet in one room. We explored a similar connection between atmosphere and narrative in our article on adult storytelling in R&B and hip-hop. A chorus can be something the crowd shares while a particular line means something quite private to the person singing it.
Wembley makes the scale of this announcement clear, but an arena booking doesn't tell us everything about the show. There is no setlist to inspect yet, and guests haven't been confirmed. The trio will have theatres and larger rooms to play along the way, each with its own distance between the stage and the audience.
That's where the tour becomes interesting beyond the list of dates. Three voices have to reach people who may be hearing them from very different parts of a venue. The announcement supplies the destinations. The performances, starting in January, will supply the rest.
