The neo soul queen announces a 36 date world tour and the grown music renaissance is officially in session.

If your playlist has been missing velvet vocals, poetry and grown people groove, good news. Jill Scott is back outside.

The Grammy winning soul powerhouse has officially announced her To Whom This May Concern World Tour, a 36 date global run celebrating her long awaited return to music.

The tour supports Scott’s sixth studio album of the same name, released February 13, 2026. The project marks her first full album in over a decade following 2015’s Woman.

And the itinerary is stacked.

The tour kicks off in the United States this June with stops in Nashville, Washington D.C., Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and her hometown Philadelphia before crossing the Atlantic for shows in the UK and across Europe. The final stretch heads to South Africa with performances in Pretoria and Cape Town.

In other words, Jill Scott is not dipping her toe back into music. She is cannonballing.

For younger fans who mostly know Scott from viral clips of her legendary stage presence or the eternal mood booster “Golden,” this tour is a masterclass in soul history. Since breaking through with her 2000 debut Who Is Jill Scott?: Words and Sounds Vol. 1, she has built a legacy that blends poetry, R&B, jazz and storytelling into one unmistakable voice.

The bigger moment here is cultural. As new generations rediscover live instrumentation and emotionally honest songwriting, Scott’s return feels perfectly timed.
