TikTok-famous UK rock band Bôa plays Tampa on Thursday

TikTok-famous— 1998’s “Duvet” is prime reel fodder for all occasions—U.K. band Bôa is in Florida this week as part of a lengthy stateside campaign. The Tampa concert is the fourth date of their tour, so expect the energy.

And this is a band with plenty of energy already bottled up, having just ended a lengthy hiatus culminating in the release of new album Whiplash, its first full- length in nearly two decades.

“Duvet”-heads will not be disappointed with the new material, like latest single “Walk With Me.” It’s fully in line with Bôa’s initial 1990s creative bloom — full-throated alt-rock with Jasmine Rodgers’ (as in the daughter of Paul Rodgers from Bad Company) vocals front and center.

Tickets to see Bôa play The Ritz in Ybor City on Thursday, May 1 are still available and start at $25.
