The Solo Tours We Can't Wait To See This Summer

From SZA's SOS to Beyoncé's Renaissance, your faves are hitting the road to bring their powerhouse performances to stages across the US and Europe this summer
The Solo Tours We Can’t Wait To See This Summer
By Rivea Ruff · Updated April 18, 2023

With summer music festival season already in high gear, it can be easy for the live music fan to forget that there are a number of solo headlining tours going on during the warmer months primed for a more tailored experience for focused fans.

Instead of heading to the Roots Picnic or Dreamville Fest for an all-day eclectic music mix, perhaps you’d prefer to put on your finest for an evening being serenaded by legends like Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, Earth, Wind & Fire, Erykah Badu, or Janet Jackson.

Check out all the artists that are hitting the road for their own solo headlining sets this summer! Will you be grabbing tickets to any of the big shows below?

Erykah Badu – Unfollow Me Tour

The ethereal songstress just announced that she’ll be touring across 25 cities between June 11 and July 23, with support from Yasiin Bey (Mos Def).

SZA – SOS Tour

SZA’s wildly popular SOS Tour recently got an expansion across Europe and back through the US, starting June 1 in Amsterdam and continuing through October 29 in Phoenix, AZ.
