Ahead of his performances on the BBC’s Later With Jools this weekend, Louisiana soul-blues artist Robert Finley announces a headline tour of the UK in May 2026. The tour follows his critically acclaimed album Hallelujah! Don’t Let The Devil Fool Ya, which was released earlier this year via Easy Eye Sound.

Finley kicks off the five-date tour at London’s iconic Electric Ballroom on Tuesday 5th May, followed by shows at Rescue Rooms, Nottingham on Wednesday 6th May, The Cluny, Newcastle on Thursday 7th May, Howard Assembly Room, Leeds on Friday 8th May, and closing at Thekla, Bristol on Saturday 9th May.

Finley’s new album Hallelujah! Don’t Let The Devil Fool Ya received global acclaim, with SPIN declaring the artist “a master musician and entertainer – only gets better with time,” and UNCUT noting: “Approaching his eighth decade … Finley’s work here is clearly just getting started.”

The album — produced by longtime collaborator Dan Auerbach at his Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville — features bold, joy-driven gospel-soul statements like “I Wanna Thank You,” and was recorded in the spirit of live improvisation with Finley and his band.  Finley now brings his unmissable live show back to the UK.
