Yes, they have some dates in the UK in May:

PREYRS - May 2, 2026 - LVLS London

PREYRS - May 4, 2026 - The Portland Arms Cambridge - here they play together again with Flint Moore Band. Never had heard of them before and just discovered them by the announcement and think they're fantastic!

It was a great show in Krefeld, a wonderful rockin' evening with fantastic live Music. Frank's White Canvas was the support band, they were great!, but it was more of a two headliners concert, both bands played more than 90min.
Here is a cool review (in german) of that evening with great pictures:

I had such a great and inspiring time on that tour with PREYRS, funny and meaningful conversations with the band, talked with Amy about her lyrics and also met many PREYRS Fans who travelled a lot to come to the shows, many shows. I saw 5 shows, well 2 i saw and the rest i recorded. It was a spontanous idea i talked with Michael about, so i just brought my cam to the show in Offenbach and the idea was, that i just get some footage for short clips to promote the tour, because i couldn't expect the audio from my cam-micro to be any good, but one take sounded really fine, so i did a whole song video with live sound to Change Change.

With the second show recorded in Oberhausen i tried to mix them both to mask all the unusable shots and used the cd-tracks as audio and pretty much liked the result.

I made almost every mistake you can make before recording, like having too high iso, the wrong picture profile and white balance (just didn't do it) and therefore got a not that good clear picture and noticed again, that you just need to practice all the time to get good results. I was again searching for all the settings in my cam, kind of had to learn it again... 

So for Krefeld i wanted to have more cams and a good live sound taken from the mixing board. I asked my son if he would help me out and we brought 3 cams and 1 action cam. A huge problem is that my Panasonic cam can only record 29m59sec in 4K (and you wouldn't belive why that is so, when searching for a workaround i found out that it is because of customs restrictions!..nevermind) we had to use that cam as a the total-shot and my son should go there to stop and start it again before time runs out.

And now, here it comes...i still can't believe it/me...have to cry almost and also laugh like stupid...while i was filming i had to change my battery, i waited for a good moment and just wanted to do it really fast..and stupid me didn't turn the camera off before..which ruined everything i recorded to that time! 

So now i'm searching for a recovery tool, the data is still there but broken and i hope that i can recover it. At the moment i think i will have to invest 50€ to get a licence for a programme, all the freeware didn't work...

But that is not the only thing...the mixing guy was pretty confident before the show to record a downmixed stereo track for me and save it on my usb-stick, but after the concert he said that he wasn't able to do so...
Btw the Kulturrampe in Krefeld had a fantastic live sound, the guy did really well with a good soundsystem there!

So...whatever...what the ?!$%§&"!?...i watched my footage and it's great..great performance...the Panasonic has recorded a decent sound, maybe i can use this, but also was so vibrating sometimes from the bass...now i'm downloading the footage my son has recorded and hope i can do something with this recording session...but anyways..what a good, rockin' fun time that was!

There were some NMA T-Shirts there ;-), i was a little to occupied to say hello and only had a short chat with Harold, greetings if you read this ;-), who also comes from my hometown.

Right now i'm still working on the last song i think i can generate from my recordings in Offenbach/Oberhausen, it is Nova and here the task lies in the ending of that song, where Amy is talking, kind of reciting her poem and i have no synchron image and audio...

PREYRS will most likely come back in autumn this year...
