KALEO has announced the UK & European leg of their “Payback Tour,” which will see the group headlining venues across the continent, including London’s iconic OVO Arena Wembley.

The upcoming tour will feature support from Júníus Meyvant on all dates.

Kaleo (stylized as KALEO) is an Icelandic blues rock band which formed in Mosfellsbær in 2012.

It consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Jökull Júlíusson, drummer David Antonsson, bassist Daniel Kristjansson, lead guitarist Rubin Pollock and harmonicist Þorleifur Gaukur Davíðsson. They have released three studio albums, Kaleo (2013), A/B (2016), and Surface Sounds (2021), as well as the EP Glasshouse (2013).

A/B has sold over one million albums worldwide. Its second single, "Way Down We Go", was certified double platinum in the US and reached number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart on 20 August 2016

Kaleo received a Grammy Award nomination in 2017 for Best Rock Performance for the song "No Good".

On 15 January 2020, KALEO released two singles, "I Want More" and "Break My Baby", the first music released since A/B.

They followed this up with the announcement of the album's title and track list on 13 March, with the album scheduled for 5 June, along with dates for the Fight or Flight Tour, to take place July–September 2020.

The third single "Alter Ego" was also released on 13 March, with JJ describing it as "the most classic rock and roll song".

The fourth single "Backbone" was released on 17 April, although on 27 May, they delayed the album's release until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

They were also forced to postpone their Fight or Flight tour twice, first to April–July 2021, and then to February–May 2022.

On 5 February 2021, they released a live version of "Break My Baby", recorded from Þrídrangar Lighthouse on 5 July 2020, the 78th anniversary of the lighthouse.
