Blues Icon Danielle Nicole Announces Fireflies February 2027 UK Tour

Danielle Nicole is excited to announce her “Fireflies” February 2027 UK Tour. Tickets are on sale now. See below.

The tour will showcase tracks from her new studio album Fireflies released by 40 Below Records on Friday August 28th.

The 5-date UK tour takes in London, The 100 Club (Feb 17), Manchester, Academy 3 (Feb 18), Glasgow, Oran Mor (Feb 19), Leeds, Brudenell (Feb 20), and Newcastle, Cluny (Feb 21).

The upcoming Fireflies album features the singles “Gaslight” and “Tug of War,” the latter described as a soulful anthem about reclaiming strength in the face of imbalance and emotional exhaustion. “I wrote ‘Tug of War’ for anyone finding themself no longer willing to accept the terms of a one-way relationship,” says Danielle.

Produced by Tony Braunagel and recorded in Nicole’s hometown of Kansas City, Fireflies emerged during a profoundly emotional chapter in her life following the loss of her brother Kris — her lifelong friend, bandmate, and musical collaborator. Though grief initially made it difficult to complete the songs, Nicole found renewed inspiration through collaboration with guitarist Brandon Miller and legendary keyboardist Jim Pugh.

“Every album is an era of your life, where you write about whatever you’re going through,” Nicole explains. “When my brother passed away, I was still writing a lot, but my grief kept me from completing some of these songs. I had to push hard through the mental blocks.”

The resulting album balances vulnerability with strength. Songs like “Soulside” channel heartbreak into perseverance, while “Gaslight” and “Tug Of War” emerge as defiant, empowering declarations of self-worth. Elsewhere, “Take Me Back” reflects on Nicole’s Missouri upbringing and features Luther Dickinson of North Mississippi Allstars.
