Erykah Badu will embark on a North American tour in September, joined by The Alchemist throughout the run. Select dates will include De La Soul and Smino as well as additional special guests.
The tour was announced in a press release on June 25. It marks the first full North American outing for Badu and The Alchemist following their 2025 shows in Japan and the release of their single "Next to You."
The collaborative album Abi & Alan, teased by that single, has not yet appeared. The new dates begin with an appearance at the Richmond Jazz and Music Festival on August 9 before moving to a series of amphitheaters and arenas.
Full itinerary includes stops in Highland Park, Illinois; Detroit; Toronto; Cleveland; Uncasville, Connecticut; Queens; Vienna, Virginia; Indianapolis; Denver; San Diego; Berkeley; Highland, California; and Los Angeles. De La Soul will appear on several early shows while Smino joins later dates.
