Jill Scott is taking her new record on the road with an extensive concert run that spans North America, Europe and South Africa. The schedule arrives alongside her first full-length studio release in more than a decade, giving fans a rare chance to hear the songs live this summer and autumn.
The tour, billed as the To Whom This May Concern World Tour, opens in early June and stays in the United States through September before moving to Europe and the U.K. in October and concluding with two November dates in South Africa. Several markets will see multiple performances, signaling strong demand in cities where Scott has a deep following.
Why this matters now
Scott’s new album, To Whom This May Concern, marks her first studio project since 2015’s Woman, and the tour is her largest outing in years. For longtime listeners, the run offers an opportunity to hear new material alongside career-defining songs; for local concert scenes, it means a high-profile soul and R&B engagement at mid-size and larger venues.
Musically and commercially, this schedule is significant: multi-night stops in major cities—such as Nashville, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago—suggest robust ticket interest and room for varied setlists across nights. The European and South African legs also underline Scott’s international draw.
Key highlights
- Multi-night runs in several U.S. cities, including Nashville, Washington D.C., Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, Oakland, Los Angeles and Chicago.
- High-profile venues on the itinerary, from the Ryman Auditorium to the Royal Albert Hall.
- A compact but international finish with dates in Brussels, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam and two South African arenas.

For venues like the Ryman and the Royal Albert Hall, shows often sell quickly, so early planning will be important.
As the tour nears, expect more announcements about support acts, ticketing windows and possible additional dates. For now, the schedule confirms an ambitious return to touring for one of contemporary soul music’s most enduring voices.
