Erykah Badu & The Alchemist 2026 Tour Announcement – US Tour Schedule
Erykah Badu and The Alchemist are embarking on a co-headlining trek this fall, beginning on September 10 in Highland Park, IL. They’ll head to cities like Detroit, Toronto, Cleveland, Uncasville, Queens, Vienna, Indianapolis, Denver, San Diego and more before wrapping up on September 29 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. De La Soul and Smino will appear on select dates.
Badu and The Alchemist, the acclaimed producer also known as Alan Maman, have been teasing their partnership for a while now. Their collaborative album, Abi & Alan, was supposed to come out last year before it was delayed, and while fans were disappointed about having to wait, they knew these artists wouldn’t leave them hanging. They held listeners over with the song “Next To You,” which served as a glimpse of what happens when Badu’s loose, cosmic cool meets Alchemist’s dusty and sample-heavy production.
Now, they’re set to perform the rest of these songs on the road, and it’s going to be a night for the soul. Literally. Have you heard Erykah Badu’s songs recently? When it comes to this soul legend, her shows have never been about simply running through the hits and calling it a night. Fans will obviously be hoping for classics like “On & On,” “Tyrone,” and “Bag Lady,” but part of the fun is knowing she can bend those songs into something completely different depending on the mood, band, crowd, moon phase…you know, Badu things.
The Alchemist brings his own kind of cult-level pull to the tour. The producer and DJ has spent decades becoming one of hip-hop’s most respected behind-the-scenes architects, known for gritty loops, left-field samples, and beats that sound like they were dug out of a basement record crate with a flashlight. He’s worked with everyone from Mobb Deep, Nas, and Jadakiss to Freddie Gibbs, Earl Sweatshirt, Boldy James, Action Bronson, and Kendrick Lamar, building the kind of résumé that makes rap fans immediately pay attention when his name is attached.
How did a rap mastermind and a soul diva get together? Talent, plain and simple. Unlike a lot of artists in 2026, they’re not drifting by on nostalgia, but creating something brand new for fans to enjoy. Abi & Alan, whenever it’s released, represents two artists with completely different worlds finding a shared musical realm, while also paying tribute to their respective catalogs with a fierce dedication. This will be a show you’ll want to pay attention to from start to finish — we’re talking phones away….
