Flo Live (stylized as FLO Live) was the first concert tour held by British girl group Flo. It was launched in support of their debut extended play, The Lead (2022). The tour was announced on 4 November 2022, and started in London, England, on 30 March 2023, and concluded at the Summer Sonic Festival in Chiba, Japan, on 20 August 2023.[1]
The British girl group was formed in early 2019 and debuted their single "Cardboard Box" (2022).[2] Upon its release, the song gained popularity through Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.[3] In July, they released a second single named "Immature" (2022), and the trio announced their debut extended play will be released soon.[4] On 8 July 2022, the British trio released The Lead, which is mostly produced by MNEK.[5]
The trio announced two shows located in the United Kingdom, named Flo Live.[6] The trio later revealed their first North American tour in late January, comprising seven dates, and is set to begin on 13 April 2023, in Atlanta, Georgia, and set to conclude on 27 April 2023, in Los Angeles, California.[7] The pre-sale took place on February 2, 2023, with the general sale taking place the next day on February 3.[8]
Poppie Platt of The Telegraph, gave it a four out of five-star review, describing the trio as "perfectly choreographed" and their harmonies as "flawless."[9] In a three-star review for The Guardian, Sophie Walker commented that the concert "while this is their first tour, they perform as if it were a reflex: their melt-in-the-mouth harmonies are seemingly effortless; their languid choreography never misses a beat. They know the drill, perhaps all too."[10]
Sophie Williams from NME, gave the first London show four out of five stars, stating that "this is FLO's chance, then, to truly stake their claim as R&B's newest, brightest hope."[11] Giving it the maximum five stars, Lisa Wright from Evening Standard called the show a "masterful composite of nostalgia and talent that was clearly incredibly current."[12]
