The Fatal Flowers are an Amsterdam rock band founded in 1984 by Richard Janssen, widely regarded as one of the leading acts of the so-called 'Amsterdam Guitar School' alongside Claw Boys Claw and de Tröckener Kecks. Their three studio albums - 'Younger Days' (1986), 'Johnny D. Is Back!' (1988) and 'Pleasure Ground' (1990), the latter two produced by Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson - earned them a reputation as one of the best Dutch rock bands of the 1980s. They won a Silver Harp and two Edison Awards, appeared at Pinkpop in 1987, and were regular headliners at Paradiso. After splitting in 1990, they briefly reunited in 2002 and staged a sold-out club tour in 2019.
The Fatal Flowers performed at Bospop in Weert on 12 July 2026, their first confirmed festival performance of the summer tour.
On 5 June 2026 the band performed at Zuiderpark Live in Den Haag, as part of their festival tour on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of 'Younger Days'.
In December 2025 the band announced a series of festival performances in 2026, exactly forty years after the debut album 'Younger Days'.
Frontman Richard Janssen stated that festival performances in 2019 did not happen and that he is looking forward to performing on stages throughout the summer in 2026.
The reunion tour of 2019 concluded with two sold-out nights at Paradiso Amsterdam, following fourteen club shows throughout the Netherlands.
