International rock band The Falling Doves are set to return to the United Kingdom and Europe in 2026 for an extensive international tour, bringing their distinctive blend of British rock, Hollywood glamour, dark glam, indie and pop to audiences across the UK, Ireland and Spain. The tour will be raising funds for the Kibou Foundation, founded by entrepreneur Raechel Kadoya. The foundation is dedicated to empowering women through inclusive events that foster unity, growth, and resilience
Inspired by the remarkable recovery of Rikuzentakata following the devastation of natural disaster, Kibou supports women-led businesses and organisations by providing the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. The foundation has also supported musicians facing mental health challenges- a cause that is particularly close to The Falling Doves’ hearts. Through this partnership, the tour hopes to help raise awareness and support for these important issues while contributing to Kibou’s wider mission of creating positive change.

Formed in London in 2013, The Falling Doves have developed a worldwide touring career spanning the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Scandinavia, Mexico, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Throughout their career the band have forged connections with multiple generations of rock artists. Their journey has included recording at the legendary Abbey Road Studios and mentorship from The Rembrandts and the late Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots. The band has shared stages with Cheap Trick, Echo & The Bunnymen, Peter Murphy, Gilby Clarke, Zia McCabe of The Dandy Warhols, Collective Soul, Fastball, Everclear, The Fixx, Kansas and Pete Best of The Beatles.
With more than 48 releases spanning studio albums, live recordings, singles and international collaborations, The Falling Doves have established a substantial independent recording catalog. Their work has received more than 24 Grammy Award consideration placements across categories including Best Rock Album, Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song, Best Music Video, Best Arrangement, Best Vocal Performance, Best Jazz Performance and Best New Artist.
Coinciding with the tour, The Falling Doves have released their new single, ‘Blinded By Your Love’ — an infectious track that fuses the spirit of classic British rock with the cinematic energy of Los Angeles. With its anthemic sound and memorable hooks, the track is made for the stage and the open road, offering a glimpse of what’s to come as the band enters an exciting new chapter.
“I think after a decade of touring, releases, and singles, I have always wanted to have a constant co-writer and collaborator”, says frontman Christopher Leyva. “I think musicians were always afraid of anything that could sound remotely commercial. It has been a fun experience making records with Katie, as there hasn’t been one lyric on this new record that has gone untouched or unreviewed by her, and the passion in her vocal delivery shows”, he further adds.
The Falling Doves’ international run will include dates across the UK and Europe, followed by two U.S. performances in Chicago and New York as follows. For tickets and info visit: https://fallingdoves.com/tour
