Jon Batiste 2025 Tour Announcement – The Big Money Tour Schedule
Jon Batiste is giving fans a show in 2025 with “The Big Money Tour,” and the multi-instrumentalist is making the most of his new era! He’s stopping in Morrison, CO, Eugene, OR, Irving, TX, and more before concluding on October 31st in Washington, DC.
“We’re living in a complicated time, and music has this incredible ability to reframe what we’re feeling, to help us keep going,” Batiste said in a statement. “These shows are meant to be healing, liberating, and unforgettable.” “At the heart of what I’m about is representing the cultural music I come from and taking responsibility to push it forward,” he added.
“That’s jazz. That’s blues. That’s soul. That’s country and gospel music—forms born from people coming together, improvising in real time, and expressing something deeper. I can’t wait to channel that energy live every night, it’s where the music hits its truest form.” Anyone lucky enough to witness a Jon Batiste concert knows it’s all-powerful, from the music to the mantras.
Despite still basking in the glory of his 2023 album, World Music Radio, and his Oscar and Grammy wins for the Pixar film Soul, Batiste remains as humble as ever. He knows that he was put on this Earth to make profound music while sharing it with others, and that’s precisely what he’s doing with the Big Money tour. Are you prepared for a fusion of R&B, gospel, funk and pure Batiste brilliance that never goes out of style?
With a title like “The Big Money,” we expect this Jon Batiste tour to have themes that dig into modern life: ambition, hustle, purpose…and the price we pay chasing it all. And don’t expect a traditional concert, either, as a Batiste performance is more like a spiritual revival meets block party. One moment he’s crooning a delicate ballad on the keys, the next he’s leading a full-blown second-line parade through the crowd.
There’s dancing, there’s sweating, there’s laughter, maybe even a few tears…and somehow, every moment feels like it was made just for you. This is a man who’s done it all — worked with big-name artists like Alicia Keys and Lana Del Rey, co-composed an Oscar-winning Pixar film, and become Creative Director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, among other things. But he still makes time to tour the world, and you can’t miss your chance to see a genre-bending legend.
From shifting gears mid-performance and improvising with the band to letting the audience choose his next song, nothing is off limits at a Jon Batiste concert. And he’s putting all bets on you with the Big Money tour. Get your tickets now!
