Jazmine Sullivan Tour Dates 2026 — Full Schedule, Cities & Venues

Jazmine Sullivan's touring framework has been built around the Heaux Tales album cycle since the January 2021 release, with the Heaux Tales Tour running across major North American theaters and amphitheaters in 2022 and 2023 following the lifting of pandemic touring restrictions on US live music. The 2022 routing covered roughly 30 North American markets including multi-night runs at The Met Philadelphia (hometown), Radio City Music Hall in New York, the Fox Theatre Atlanta, the Greek Theatre Los Angeles, and the Chicago Theatre; the 2023 routing extended the run with additional theater and amphitheater dates plus festival headline slots at the Essence Festival in New Orleans, Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, and the Afropunk Festival circuit. Sullivan has also appeared on the festival circuit through ONE MusicFest in Atlanta, the Lovers and Friends Festival in Las Vegas, Broccoli City Festival in Washington DC, the Soul Train Awards weekend programming, the Apollo Theater anniversary celebrations, and the BET Experience programming around the BET Awards. Future routing expectations through the next album cycle remain subject to Sullivan's well-established preference for theater and amphitheater rooms over arena tours — her live show is built around vocal staging rather than the kind of dance-and-pyrotechnics production that scales to arena tier, and recent cycles have indicated continued preference for the Met Philadelphia, Radio City Music Hall, Greek Theatre LA, Fox Theatre Atlanta, Chicago Theatre, Anthem DC, Massey Hall Toronto, and Eventim Apollo Hammersmith London tier of theater and concert hall venues. Industry reporting through Q1 2026 has pointed to potential follow-up dates tied to new material expected from the catalogue, though no formal routing has been announced as of this writing.

About Jazmine Sullivan

Jazmine Marie Sullivan was born April 9, 1987 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to a deeply musical household — her mother Pam Sullivan worked as a backup singer in the Philadelphia gospel and R&B circuits, and the family raised Jazmine inside the Pentecostal church tradition that shaped her vocal foundation. She grew up in the city's Strawberry Mansion neighborhood in North Philadelphia, attended the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) — the same magnet school that produced Boyz II Men, Ahmir 'Questlove' Thompson, and Black Thought of The Roots — and started performing publicly as a child on the Philadelphia talent-show circuit. She was a regular at the historic Apollo Theater amateur night in Harlem during her early teen years, won the famously brutal Showtime at the Apollo audience repeatedly, and was signed to Jive Records as a teenager after years of demo work with Philadelphia producers including the Bell Biv DeVoe-affiliated production teams in the early 2000s. Her debut single Need U Bad, produced by Missy Elliott and built on a reggae one-drop sample, dropped in 2008 and became a top-40 Billboard Hot 100 hit; the follow-up Bust Your Windows — the now-canonical revenge anthem about smashing a cheating partner's car windows — landed at number 31 on the Hot 100 and cemented Sullivan as one of the most distinctive new voices in R&B. Fearless, released September 30, 2008 on J Records, debuted at number six on the Billboard 200 and earned five Grammy nominations at the 2009 ceremony including Best New Artist, Best R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for Need U Bad, Best R&B Song for Need U Bad, and Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for Bust Your Windows. Love Me Back, released November 30, 2010 on J Records, produced Holding You Down (Goin' in Circles), Lions, Tigers & Bears, and 10 Seconds and continued the same five-Grammy-nomination critical reception. After Love Me Back, Sullivan publicly announced a hiatus in 2011, citing burnout and a desire to recalibrate her relationship to the music industry — she returned to Philadelphia, stepped back from public performance for roughly three years, and worked through what she has described in subsequent interviews as a period of personal and creative recovery from an industry that had pushed her too hard too young. Reality Show, released January 13, 2015 on RCA Records, was the comeback — a concept album threading reality-TV satire through ten songs that produced Mascara, Dumb featuring Meek Mill, Forever Don't Last, and the lead single Dumb. Reality Show earned Sullivan three further Grammy nominations and was widely cited as one of the strongest R&B albums of the 2010s. Heaux Tales, released January 8, 2021 on RCA Records, was the cultural inflection point — a 14-track project threading audio interview interludes from real women in Sullivan's life (her sisters, friends, and fellow artists) about love, sex, financial autonomy, and self-worth through her own songwriting, with features from H.E.R., Ari Lennox, Anderson .Paak, and Issa Rae. The album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, produced Pick Up Your Feelings, Lost One, On It with Ari Lennox, Girl Like Me with H.E.R., and Bodies, won the Grammy for Best R&B Album at the 2022 ceremony, and was followed by Heaux Tales, Mo' Tales: The Deluxe in February 2022 carrying additional Tales and the new track Hurt Me So Good. Sullivan and country artist Eric Church performed The Star-Spangled Banner and America the Beautiful together at Super Bowl LV on February 7, 2021 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, with H.E.R. performing America the Beautiful in the same broadcast; the performance drew widespread praise for Sullivan's vocal control across the broadcast's pre-game window. Sullivan holds twelve career Grammy nominations across the Fearless, Love Me Back, Reality Show, and Heaux Tales cycles, with the 2022 Best R&B Album win for Heaux Tales as the headline. She has been publicly engaged in advocacy work around women's autonomy, mental health, and Black women's representation in R&B, and her catalogue is widely cited by younger R&B artists — Summer Walker, Ari Lennox, Coco Jones, Muni Long, Tyla — as a foundational influence on the genre's contemporary direction.
