Erykah Badu Announces 2026 Fall North American Tour

Erykah Badu has announced a 2026 North American tour featuring producer The Alchemist and pioneering rap group De La Soul. Smino will also support on select dates, with additional special guests to be announced.

Badu’s “LIVE” tour kicks off on September 10th in Highland Park, Illinois, and will also stop in Detroit, Toronto, New York City, Denver, and Los Angeles. See her full schedule below.

Tickets are now available via Ticketmaster . Fans also can also look for deals or get tickets to sold-out shows via StubHub , which covers purchases at 120% if issues arise with your tickets through their FanProtect guarantee

In January, Badu released a 25th anniversary reissue of her sophomore classic Mama’s Gun . Last year, she teased her first studio album since 2010 , Abi & Alan , produced entirely by The Alchemist. The first single, “Next to You,” was released in June 2025, but the project missed its original August 29th release date and has yet to arrive.

It is worth noting, however, that Badu and The Alchemist previewed the album while on the road last year, and this upcoming tour could be a sign that the project is closer to seeing the light of day.
