FLO Postpones Tour Due to Injury
FLO’s “Access All Areas Tour” has hit an unexpected pause, leaving fans disappointed but understanding. On Tuesday, March 4, 2025, the British R&B trio announced that their U.K. and European tour dates would be rescheduled. The decision came after member Renée Downer injured her knee ligaments during rehearsals, forcing the group to reconsider their plans.
A Heartbreaking Announcement
The group, made up of Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma, and Renée Downer, shared their emotions in a heartfelt statement. “It absolutely breaks our hearts to announce that we are going to have to reschedule our U.K. and European tour,” they wrote. This marks the second time the group has had to adjust their plans. Earlier in January, they canceled their Copenhagen and Stockholm shows, which were originally set to kick off the tour in early March.
Tour Plans Disrupted
The European leg was scheduled to begin on March 5 at Hamburg’s Mojo Club. From there, FLO planned stops in cities like Cologne, Paris, Manchester, Birmingham, and London. The London show at O2 Academy Brixton was meant to be the tour’s grand finale in their home country. Unfortunately, Renée Downer’s injury occurred during intense rehearsals just days before the first performance. Despite exploring alternative solutions with their team, FLO decided they couldn’t deliver the high-quality show fans deserve.
Hope for U.S. Fans
While European fans will have to wait a little longer to see FLO live, there’s good news for their North American audience. The group assured fans that Renée will recover in time for the U.S. leg of the tour. This portion is set to begin on April 9 at Emo’s in Austin, Texas. It includes 26 shows across cities like Houston, Tampa, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago, Detroit, and San Diego. The tour will conclude on May 22 at Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
A Milestone Moment for FLO
The “Access All Areas Tour” supports FLO’s debut studio album of the same name, released in November 2024. The album features collaborations with artists such as Cynthia Erivo and GloRilla. Its deluxe version includes remixes featuring Chlöe, Halle Bailey, Kehlani, and Bree Runway. Singles like “Bending My Rules,” “AAA,” and “I’m Just A Girl” have become fan favorites.
This headlining tour marks a significant step forward for FLO after spending much of last year opening for Kehlani’s “Crash World Tour.” Their rapid rise began with their debut EP The Lead in 2022, positioning them as one of R&B’s most exciting new acts.
Looking Ahead
Although postponing the European dates is disappointing for fans in those regions, FLO remains committed to delivering an unforgettable experience. Their announcement reassured fans: “U.K. and Europe, we love you and absolutely can’t wait to see you all very soon.” With Renée’s recovery underway and preparations continuing for the U.S., this delay may result in an even more polished performance once they return to Europe.
As anticipation grows for both the rescheduled European dates and the North American leg of the tour, FLO is poised to showcase their signature vocals and dynamic stage presence. Their momentum remains strong despite this setback—a testament to their talent and dedication as rising stars in music today.
